In some ways Demi Lovato is the most representative of the fracturing of pop culture to me.  I am sure you have read about this over the years because basically for the past 10 years or so people have been writing about how everything is niche.  See my history with her is that it was a name I knew but I don’t think I could have tied it to a face.  She was some girl on Disney and that was that.  Now, in most cases that wouldn’t be about the fracturing of pop culture, it instead would be about me being old and not watching shows for children.  Except I could place plenty of other names.  I am not sure how Demi Lovato was one of the ones I couldn’t.  I don’t think it was until I had started this blog that I could confidently match face and name with her.  Once I started this blog I suddenly knew a lot more people because I paid more attention but also a lot of people sen me suggestions or ask my opinion on girls or just send me pictures and ask if I can tell them who that is.  So at some point, I don’t know when, I could pick Demi Lovato out of a line up.  I still have almost no connection with her work because I don’t know what I have ever seen her do anything other than show up in pictures.  Lately though every time I have seen pictures of her on stage I have thought she has looked fantastic.  I mean like, I keep noticing and really noticing.  I think it’s fishnets and high waisted shorts.  It could just be the fishnets though.  Either way she’s looked good so today I want to fuck Demi Lovato.

Netflix can be pretty good about guessing what I might want to see and it send me an email a few days ago telling me it had added Burying the Ex and it bet I wanted to see it.  And it was right, it is a movie I have intended to watch since it was first announced.  It was always going to be viewed by me at some point.  So I sat down and watched it and man it was a huge disappointment.  Oh, Joe Dante, what happened to you man?  Among the most egregious of it’s sins is the way it set up the two competing love interests in the movies.  Ashley Greene was basically the movie harpy girlfriend who you have never met in real life because if anyone was that monsterous her mother would have smothered her in her crib.  Except you know, she was horny all the time so… I guess… progress?  She isn’t a frigid shrew?  On the other end is Alexandra Daddario who basically plays a horror nerd’s dream girl.  Or maybe just like mine.  Maybe when I was 13.  It felt a little too pandering to me as an adult.  Oh, she’s so cool and she likes horror movies and she owns her own ice cream shop with flavors she mixes herself with punny horror names and… ok, I have to admit, I think I would be down to date someone who owned and ice cream parlor.  Also, I do like anyone who likes the old General Mills Monster cereals.  But my point is she, like the evil ex of the title, seemed to lack any character at all.  Which is disappointing.  Which is the sort of thing that means someone wouldn’t get mentioned in a post, much less get posted.  I very rarely post, “I saw a bad movie and the character was hollow.  So here she is”.  The thing is though, Alexandra Daddario is really, really hot.  Like way too hot for just a bad movie to drag her down.  She definitely is hot enough to transcend a movie I didn’t particularly like.  Today I want to fuck Alexandra Daddario.

I didn’t really expect to post Lake Bell again so quickly.  Like she showed up just last month, which might not seem that quick but considering that is only the third time in 3.5 years it seems pretty quick.  I mean, I think she’s very pretty and very funny but I don’t see her in anything.  So I figured she’d pop up the next time I happened to stumble upon something with her in it.  Which I guess is kind of what happened, she was on WTF this week and I just listened and man she is awesome.  I remember years ago, before I ever posted her, I had someone tell me I really should check her out because she is great and this person clearly had a crush.  I get it.  She’s pretty great.  Just fun to listen to so today I want to fuck Lake Bell.

Wes Craven died Sunday and it saddened me greatly.  Not because he was taken too young or anything but because he always seemed like a kind, intelligent man and his movies meant a lot to me.  I know most people aren’t horror fans.  Few people I know are.  They have always appealed to me though.  I am not entirely sure why, I am not sure taste can really be determined but when I am really pressed for an answer I have to admit I think it’s because I was scared a lot as a kid.  I mean, I was basically afraid all the time.  It is a fact of the life I grew up with, it was not a home with much kindness and it was not a pleasant place to be as a child.  I was scared almost constantly, the sound of the stairs creaking always made me tense up, my back stiffen and I would shake with fright because it meant someone was coming and that was always ominous in my life.  So I think I turned to horror because it was the only fear I can control.  Control is important in a situation like that.  It might scare me senseless but I could turn it off.  I could walk away.  So I think that’s why and my favorite horror movie as a kid was A Nightmare on Elm Street.  I loved the whole series but the first one was my favorite.  My friends all liked Friday the 13th better but not me.  As I have gotten older I have noticed overly intellectual children seemed to gravitate towards Freddy for some reason.  When I was a teenager Scream hit and became a very big deal.  I was grateful because it meant I had this thing I could share with people.  I luckily was never ostracized for liking horror movies but it wasn’t a thing anyone else was interested in.  Scream was a nice thing to bond over people with and the slew of horror it brought after it let me bask in that for a while.  So why is Emma Roberts here?  Well, the round about way is I was thinking about actresses in Wes Craven movies and she popped into my head as the hottest.  Maybe not the hottest of all time but the hottest right now?  Like, the one I am currently most attracted to. Anyway, I started thinking about her and that she’s pretty and looked at pictures and here she is because today I want to fuck Emma Roberts.

Here is Charli XCX because you should know by now I like Charli XCX a lot.  Have you not figured that out yet?  Why not?  Doesn’t your life revolve around me?  In all seriousness eh is here because I really like her but also I just read some snippets of an interview she gave for Untitled Magazine.  It made me think about her and the cover looked pretty good.  I look forward to more of it.  That’s about it, it doesn’t take a lot for me to end up posting her.  Today I want to fuck Charli XCX.

In Chinatown, the villain of the piece says at one point, “‘Course I’m respectable. I’m old. Politicians, ugly buildings, and whores all get respectable if they last long enough”.  And he was right.  I think about that sometimes when I see the love for aesthetics and art of a bygone era.  I happen to have a deep love for a lot of exploitation films of the 70’s and they were garbage then and largely are garbage now but are beautiful.  And get a lot of love for the beauty and feel.  There is an odd mix of warm colors, beautiful composition, and luridness that is compelling.  To me at least.  And well, a lot of people on the internet from what I have seen.  I have watched a few Jess Franco movies of late and this is his muse, Soledad Miranda, who is undeniably beautiful.  What is interesting is it’s all “old”  right?  She made movies before i was born just like many old timey stars I post but… well, the other day I posted Veronica Lake and talked about all of Hollywood’s tricks for getting me to like her and others.  They were subtle.  There are other tricks film makers use though.  I think the technical term for this is Boobs.  Naked boobs.  It lacks to light touch of soft focus but it is often as effective.  Cause of course, Soledad Miranda looked amazing naked.  She also had a certain charisma about her mixed with an undeniable eroticism to her.  Some people are just sexy.  It’s not just what they look like, it’s some other aspect.  But you know, we’re here cause I watched a movie called Vampyros Lesbos and, yeah, it’s about Vampires but it’s not about any Greek Islands.  Subtlety is not really anywhere in this movie.  Yet it gets intellectualized and discussed and is a favorite.  Because there is something to it.  But in 1970 if you tried that I don’t think anyone would listen.  Now it’s different.  It’s old.  It’s respectable.  Soledad Miranda has been gone for 35 years.  She was a beautiful Spanish Actress who got naked a lot and was in movies to be sexy.  But now it’s a classy thing to find her attractive.  Now it’s respectable.  Today I want to fuck Soledad Miranda.

Leighton Meester last showed up over a year ago.  Before that I think it was 2 years ago.  There is a lot of gap in between which for part of me is stunning and for another part not.  There was a point in my life where there really wasn’t another celebrity I was more attracted to.  Not just because she is beautiful but because she had something else about her as well.  Of course, these things tend to change and now I so rarely even see her.  I saw Life Partners recently and… it was alright.  It wasn’t a bad movie it just left me largely unsatisfied.  It never was as good or as crucial as it could be and ended up being cinematic junk food that felt like a waste of talent.  Leighton was actually pretty good in it.  Because she is often pretty good in things that end up not being so great.  There were some moment though that reminded me why I loved her.  She is talented and she is pretty.  So today I want to fuck Leighton Meester.

I started watching Another Period early this morning when I couldn’t sleep.  It has been on my radar a while because it has lots of people I like a lot in it.  Also because lots of people have told me I should watch it or… well at least suggested it.  I can’t really remember anyone but whole-lies-and-half-smiles at the moment but I know there were others.  It was pretty funny so far but the pleasant surprise was I didn’t know Christina Hendricks was in it.  I was glad to see her when she showed up and it was a nice reminder that, oh yeah, Christina Hendricks is really, really pretty.  Also she always looks best in period dress.  And I really like period dress.  She looked pretty though, it was nice to get to focus on her face cause for some reason that doesn’t always happen.  That’s why she’s here today.  Today I want to fuck Christina Hendricks.

This is actually my favorite kind of post.  And typically least popular kind of post.  But I always like when it happens.  I saw this moving late last night called Storage 24.  It was nothing special.  Just some movie about an alien monster killing people in a storage facility.  It was an English production so for an American it always makes it seem somehow a little bit more sophisticated and stuff.  I even made a joke early on, “Oh, this is for me, all the girls in it are blonde and everyone knows how much I love blonde British girls”.  And this one girl in it, Laura Haddock, was playing the best friend of the main girl and I was like, oh, she’s really pretty.  And as it went on I thought she was better and better looking.  Like very pretty.  And I had no idea she existed before last night.  That’s what I like, seeing something, seeing a girl I’ve never heard of, posting her.  Of course, when it’s someone from another country I have no idea if they are actually famous or anything.  Like, she’s been on a lot of TV shows in the UK but I haven’t heard of them so… they could be wildly popular or something no one has seen.  I have no clue.  I will say a lot of people have seen her because she’s Starlord’s mom.  But… I don’t remember sexualizing her in that role.  Weird.  Today I want to fuck Laura Haddock.

Sometimes I am impressed by how well Old Hollywood;s bag of tricks still work.  And I guess how easily I can be manipulated.  I think the one that gets me the most is the way they used to film women.  And well, still do, Hollywood hasn’t thrown out the old tricks, just modified them.  But the old favorite that was always used and isn’t quite so in your face anymore is to make the girl of desire in the film show up in soft focus and with her hair lit so it almost glowed.  Soft Focus, if you don’t know, was originally something that came from defects in lenses.  It is not the same as being out of focus but rather the edges can stay sharp while the interior is not quite focused.  It hides blemishes and is why all the starlets in black and white movies look like their skin is beyond perfect.  It also gives the dream like quality to the shot that makes them seem like they came from above, more than human.  Certainly better than you or I.  Add to that luminous hair and almost a halo of light and… well, you get the drift, there is a reason stars were seen as on a different level of humanity once upon a time. And the thing is, I know all of this, I know the tricks, I know at least enough about film to know how it is manipulating me and it still works.  It means I see Veronica Lake and not only do I think she’s beautiful, I wonder how it is even the most gorgeous of today’s stars don’t have this special kind of beauty she and other had.  And I just explained to you why.  So that’s impressive.  And you know, tricks or whatever Veronica Lake is ridiculously beautiful.  If you don’t know her enjoy, she was in quite a few movies I would recommend.  Maybe…. don’t look up details about her life though.  I made the mistake of telling my friend all about her and it just depressed her.  Well… nuff said, Hollywood maybe hasn’t always been kind to women.  Uh, thank god that’s all over.  Today I want to fuck Veronica Lake.
