this is probably not the right response but i really liked kanye west more after reading this

i think scarlett johansson has a really good accent but her face is super weird. maybe i'm too tough on actresses. i think the mark of someone good is they have to be utterly compelling - they have to have a certain presence that makes them watchable. and i think it's important that they show different sides like a normal person- particularly if they're a bad guy and you still end up liking them. and maybe women just aren't written into those roles. like joseph gordon levitt is supposed to be a gross meathead but you can already tell that you like him, whereas she's just hot. if she was made to look ugly, it would be a chore to watch.

this girl on the other hand has the worst stage presence/acting ability ever. she was in the office and i'm like, who is this terrible girl and why was she cast? i looked her up and she's the same girl that was in those magic mike commercials where i said, wow, who is that girl that is so bad everyone should apologize to keanu reeves? daughter of  warner brothers/disney exec.

responses!

on nyc cartoons: nice!

on how to be a man: i think he clarifies at the end "Remember, “rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.”  but there's only 1 i disagree with is: If you want a nice umbrella, bring a sh*tty one to church. what does that even mean? why can't you just bring your normal umbrella and take a nicer one? why does it have to be a bad umbrella? and :Time is too short to do your own laundry." but i actually like doing laundry as opposed to dishes. also, eww are undershirts supposed to soak up your sweat? 


on celebrity imperfections: those aren't really imperfections (they all involve their hands!) and you don't know if the celebrities are ok with it. i don't think there's any way of fixing those imperfections but maybe if there were, they would fix them. well, except seal. that's a real imperfection but again - don't think there's any way to fix it. then again, he went into a field that doesn't matter as much what he looks like - and then married heidi klum. overachiever.

gen y: yeah, that seems to explain it. but are gen y people really that unhappy?
