Typical media bullshit !!
Don't forget that nowadays, there is so much competition for audience and so much new stuff coming out everyday, that getting audience is a tough business. Hollywood had monopoly on audience for so many years, and if America won the WWII and subsequently became a global model it is thanks to Hollywood and the soft power of cinema... but yeah, time change, Hollywood is loosing it big time !
So what's the best thing to do to get audience back, make noise, create hashtag, get PR support, get global support for a cause you can't ignore, do witch-hunt and calling for delation... We are all familiar with that in the world of opinionated social network and hashtags, if you don't agree, you get bashed! People in the ads industry often says "bad publicity is good publicity"; witch-hunt, bashing, delation and name calling is clearly good publicity at the end as they get audience, shares/likes and comment. If you compare the WWII Hollywood Bond or the Hollywood blacklist (McCarthism), then you will see lot of similarities, which is pretty funny. See the big picture, don't forget media/PR/magazines/press is a business like any other; some people are profiting of this and they need stories; actors like politicians are the entertaining side of the industry

Total Hollywood bullshit !
A new never-seen project called Time'sUp has been launched to help women ? So Oprah made the speech of the century ?
Funny because when the all story started, someone, a real activist and feminist, said publicly it is typical of the all white-bullshit-Hollywood-hypocrite clique bullshit. It got audience because women were white and famous; things would have been different if it had been a lambda women.
Then some people in Hollywood realised it was true and they promptly changed the all rhetoric, turning their personal cause into a cause for all women, especially colored women. That woman was right ! That woman is Jane Fonda, who has been a lifelong, extreme political activist, having protested the Vietnam War, the Iraq War, treatment of black Americans, Native Americans, women, Palestinians, etc. (she doesn't seat on a sofa, interviewing stars for the middle- and low-class American; she went to Viet Nam, she walked in the street for women, for the native Americans, etc.), and yet she has been "banned" by Hollywood for speaking out and being active and forgotten by the new girls of Hollywood (who all went to school by the way, no excuse).
And ironically, the unprecedented Time'sUp project launched by Hollywood women is just a copycat of Janet Fonda's project launched in 2005 "The Women's Media Center" (empowering women voice through media) -

As always, Hollywood is full of bullshit and people love this !
People of Hollywood do everything in excess, clearly over-exalted and a bit excessive.
Go Barbarella, bring us back the real "Excessive machine" and exaltation

As for Catherine, well done girl !!
If Catherine said so, then it's settled!She played in Luis Bunuel's movie, "Belle de Jour"... I wonder if she saw "Simon of the desert", a movie in which Satan is luring the pure Simon with innocent legs -

Guys, imagine if the guy behind the PreCode was a woman and not a conservative patriach, we would have had lot of great movies with strong actresses, directresses (
) and produceresses (
) putting forward their talent, creativity, etc. like Dorothy Arzner and Mabel Normand. The strong women of the Nation doing men's job !
Too bad because things changed completely at the WWII in the 50s and the following second woman revolution in the 60s, women were back to women's duties (housewife, kitchen, fashion) and men had to endure male-orientated exploitation/erotic which is pretty bad (unless you are single).
I hope that this new movement will bring back the silent precode spirit with strong women ("dominatrix" as we says in French
)
