I haven't been posting much lately, merely lurking in the shadows but I thought I should bring this to the attention of the pub: A story was published in the Sydney Morning Herald recently to do with Cate Blanchett being one of the greatest actors of her times or something...but a few paragraphs really caught my rapidly diminishing attention as I continued to read the article: <blockquote>Quote:<hr> "...I was in New Zealand and they were talking about "the GALADRIEL DOLL' which sent a shudder down my spine." (yeah right) "It should be very expensive (translation: So I can make more money out of it) because of her (translation: my) very long hair (i.e. my beautiful golden locks that everyone should envy) so maybe very few people will buy them."<hr></blockquote> ACK! That particular paragraph sent a shudder down my spine. But wait, there's more: <blockquote>Quote:<hr> "...can we expect to see Blanchett's face on a packet of chips? (please...nooo....) 'I have to consult my contract! (Oooh! I could make money out of that! Good idea, I'll write it into my contract!) I hope I'm not on too many packets of Twisties. Obviously that's a by-product you can't escape. I didn't do it to be a doll (I did it for money) But I DID DO IT FOR THE EARS. THE EARS WERE EXTRAORDINARY!'"<hr></blockquote> NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! From this, not only can we conclude that Cate Blanchett is yet another self-centred, egocentric, Hollywood actor concerned solely with money and her hair, but we can conclude that the Movies ARE NOT going to be completely devoid of the usual cheesy, merchandised crap that companies yearn to churn out just so they can rob decent people of their mind and money. That, and the movies are going to have pointy-eared elves. :sigh: - enep
