Pop Hypocrisy, SLC Punk and June in general...
June 12, 2010
As most of us know, Lady Gaga's new video just debuted. It has her straddling men, swallowing rosaries, and looking beautiful. You know, typical pop gimmicks with catchy music in the back. Except, oddly enough, I love this video just like all of her others. Call me a sucker, but I think she's a *gasp* artist. That or it could be the fact that she actually has talent unlike her lower pop counterparts.
Of course, any vid with orgies and crosses is going to be slammed somehow because somehow Catholics think the world should bow down to them and they want to go through life expecting to be never offended.
Not just Catholics though, fellow pop star Katy Perry has recently insinuated an attack on the video. We all know what the hell she was referring to, yet she didn't have the balls to directly mention the video. So she tweeted it instead.
“Using blasphemy as entertainment is as cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke,”
This makes me curious as to what the hell making a song solely about kissing girl to rise to fame is. Because homosexuality is so shocking, isn't it? Because kissing a girl makes you edgy?
Well, enough of the attacks, I'll end with saying that what's blasphemy to one can be just pure fun to another. Hell, to me, rosaries mean nothing so I'll do whatever with them. To Gaga, they might have meant visual symbolism. And, meaningful visual symbolism, not having cream shoot out of your breasts.
and that's the end of that rant...now...
I just saw SLC Punk!, a film that has been suggested to me many times. All I'll say about it is that it's a film I couldn't finish, one I found yawn inducing with it's stereotypes of punk, and overall I'll say it's a boring film with a kickass soundtrack. I thought it being a film about punk subculture that's what it might focus on, but it instead threw it's annoying main character around in the audiences face, one that even in my most patient mood I could never bear.
I'll just spare you being redundant and link you the best review I've found of this film:

Now to leave on a positive note:
June is my luck month, it's when things tend to go right. Found London Calling for $4, discovered my phone was flameproof, found absinthe ice cream, and have been watching movies all night without being caught once. Let's see if it'll continue for the rest of the month. :D

I obviously must have a sense of unwarranted self importance to have a personal blog.
