I think you're right. There used to be something of a mystique and distance between the real world and Hollywood. Figures of fascination and elegance that you could never really get close to.

Nowadays of course, in part due to the platforms used, consumption of media and 'like' culture, it all looks a bit desperate. They're battling away to remain on top of the pile in the same way that desperate tik tokers are praying their next clip goes viral. People are too accessible if anything, and all that differentiates the rich and famous from the poor is that the former are out of touch and often able act without consequence.

What part of that don't you understand? What I would have done is not known, but you say that I "stated that at minimum (I) would have punched Chris Rock in the face". That is a lie. But whatever I would have done, I would have regretted. Much like Smith.

I bothered to find the post on 'Great stand up comedy', and guess what?, I made no mention of being a fan, or liking any of those linked acts, and said that the OP probably wouldn't like them either. [Link]
So again you have lied.

Apologies . Hope this hasn’t been posted, a somewhat “interesting” slant

Sweet Jesus.

You posted three comedians in a 'Comedy Greats' thread. It's perfectly reasonable to state that's because you personally like them rather than think they're all sh!te. You saying that the OP (who has different comedic taste) wouldn't, only means that his taste in comedy is different to yours. Which it clearly is. These comics are all crass types, which was my point since you're now so affronted by a comedian making a tame joke about hair that you go on record as saying you'd physically assault him (aka 'I'd have done worse' than a slap. Denials of the meaning are pointless). You know the above to be true hence threw in a false claim that you stated "they were not great" in said thread. Like much your other claims, that is not the case.

All of the above is fact. Much like the vaccine stuff, it's 'world view whack-a-mole' with you based on having a dig rather than holding a genuine view, with apparent 'convictions' and clear past perspectives being denied or flipped on their head whenever it contradicts whatever today's 'deeply felt' stance is. Sometimes almost immediately after you've stated something. Please trouble someone else with this disingenuous behaviour. Bye now.

Social media has played its part, before it there was much more mystery and less knowledge and involvement with the entertainment elites. But since Andy Warhol's 15 minutes became reality the mainstream's grip on Joe Public's attention has loosened....by the time my generation...generation X dies out that grip may be gone completely. Just one of the reasons they want to ban everything alternative.

Whole books could be written on it....you could write one perhaps...I've got too much poorn to watch.
