With Cannes going on there is a wealth of lovely gowns and lovely women to post and I could have gone a lot of ways today but I chose Blake Lively. She has looked great and hasn’t left me with a lack of things to post but also because of the wave of crap she and Kristen Stewart are getting for working with Woody Allen. I get it. I kind of thought the point where he started banging his daughter as soon as she turned 18 was enough of a reason to stop supporting him. I feel like, in general, when the best thing you can say about a relationship is, “Well, technically it’s not incest” you have something that maybe needs to be avoided. So I get it, I think the man is at best extremely creepy and likely a predator. I think you guys have misdirected your blame, however. I feel like, far too often, people are very free with other people’s money and time. The pressure for young actresses to not work with him seems like it misses a large point. First, you greatly overstate the power of most actors when you think they have their choice of roles and the luxury of turning down things that will get them in front of eyes, possible critical respect, and a paycheck. You greatly overstate the power of Blake Lively if you think she has the pull in Hollywood to fight Woody Allen. I am not saying you can’t criticize her or Kristen Stewart or anyone else, knock yourself out, I just think you’re in the wrong place and seems to misperceive how this all works. I think the people you should be more critical of are the people who continue to give Woody Allen money if you want him to stop making movies. I think you should be more critical of the men who work with him, given men have a much larger window of fame, women are counted as “too old” very quickly by directors and fans alike. I think mainly you should continue to criticize Woody Allen and those who fund him. There is a whole other discussion about separating art from the artist and… I don’t like Woody Allen enough to care about that, much less go into it. But I think you guys are wrong when you attack someone who is, like many of us, doing what they have to do to work in their given profession. That was longer than I intended. Let me also say I really liked her gown and I thought she looked great in red at the photocall. A+ premier for a movie I won’t see. Today I want to fuck Blake Lively.
