At 54, the fiery-haired actress is something of an anomaly in ageist, sexist Hollywood in that her opportunities are just as rich as they were in her younger days—something she says she’s very fortunate for. When asked about the dearth of complex roles for women in Tinseltown, Moore is quick to point out the work of her female peers whom she feels aren’t getting the awards kudos they deserve this year.
“When you look around, look at Gugu Mbatha-Raw and how brilliant she is in Belle and Beyond the Lights, Mia Wasikowska who’s in Tracks, which people haven’t talked about a lot, and Tilda Swinton in Only Lovers Left Alive,” says Moore. “These performances by women are out there, but they’re in smaller movies without a lot of power behind them. So, I don’t think the actresses aren’t there, and I sometimes think that the roles are there, too—but they’re not always acknowledged.”
So true. Exactly what I was saying the other day, with the same examples. Don't complain about "lack of female roles" or "lack of black roles." They're out there. If you really care, go support them.
On Dec. 13, 2013, Beyoncé ruined the idea of an album rollout. For the next 13 months, artists scrambled to compete with the release of BEYONCÉ, leaking their own albums early in an effort to match the frenzy caused by the surprise drop. http://www.complex.com/music/2014/12...t-rapper-alive
Nobody put out a great album in 2014. Nobody did. A lot of people put out good albums, and a few people even put out some very good albums. But no one made an unassailable masterpiece. Youre going to see some publications that werent able to put Beyoncés self-titled record on or near the top of their 2013 lists, so they put it on or near the top of their 2014 lists, but thats the closest this year got to producing a masterpiece http://consequenceofsound.net/aux-ou...album-in-2014/

Like black American culture is ESSENTIALLY some adapted version of British culture, Because American culture is bastardized English culture

So white people reappopriating black culture isn't really reappopriating...
When black culture is already appropriated white culture ..
The sad part is how much genuine talent went to waste in these pursuits. Unbroken is drawn from the (reportedly very good!) bestseller by Laura Hillenbrand. The credits on the screenplay are mind-boggling: Richard LaGravanese (The Fisher King, Living Out Loud), William Nicholson (Shadowlands, Gladiator), and Joel and Ethan Coen (you know). And the director is Angelina Jolie, an actor who, at her best, radiates intelligence and electricity (it’s her second feature as director, following 2011’s In the Land of Blood and Honey). Considering how many distinctive, unique voices are at work here, it’s a little stunning that the picture is so generic, so vanilla, so utterly lacking in personality.
