Follow up on an old post...

Hello fillies fans (if you exist, I hope you do) some of you may remember our 'When do you stop criticising Chris Brown?' post from a while ago, http://thefilliesblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/when-do-you-stop-critisising-chris-brown.html. Considering whether or not you can separate the person/artist from their respective work, their personal lives from their professional and so on. 

Today I came across this and it once again renewed the debate for me - 

http://kristof.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/02/01/an-open-letter-from-dylan-farrow/

Essentially here Dylan Farrow confirms all the alleged reports from insiders and family friends on the subject of Allen's bizarre behaviour towards her when she was a small child. It actually made me sick to think that people consider Hollywood to matter so much that they would rather ignore the potential abuse of a small child, I don't know. The ability to look away makes me question if this is the bystander crime of the 21st century, ignoring celebrity indiscretions for the sake of  'Hollywood'. It all comes down to money in the end I guess? 

People clearly knew...

The BBC summary there just gives a sort of rounded explanation of the article and some of its 'triggers' and the potential/current effects on Hollywood and the cinematic world. 

This once again plunges me into a pit of self-criticism and questioning for loving Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona.

Celebrating Marlon Brando. The Man. The Legend, The Upper Arms

Marlon Brando was the perfect specimen, it's just that moment in Streetcar, every single time...


Look at his humor (GSOH) actually he is being a dick here in the film (Stanley is always a dick) ... not funny, but that doesn't take away from the arms.


And the way he wears his clothes, the way he takes them off....


And his face


And back to his face


His musical talents



His arms.... always the arms.


And back to his GSOH


And he lets cats drape on him


I wanna be the cat... don't we all?

He's a motivated worker.



AND THIS


Take me. We'd have to share...
