Cool!
I was not aware of that. Worthwhile. I wish that there was more of that in standard cinema.
I feel deeply that “celebrities going the extra mile” is a misnomer. Just as “celebrity nudity” as generally self-labeled by outlets is. That is, all nudity in “mainstream” content is mislabeled “celebrity” skin. I subscribe to Atlantic & not to NYT. I don’t want “all the news.” Other people’s weather is not for me. Really big weather, yeah, maybe. My days of curiosity about alligators on the loose are behind me. Around here, we may have a mountain lion or bear wander into the city. Makes the local news. National? Rarely. Useless. I mean, WSJ’s editorial bent is bent. But the stories it puts on the front page are news.
Look at today’s Most Popular. That’s the pick of the litter. Saoirse Ronan. Followed closely by Vast Celebrity Desert. The Lone & Level Sands. What ever happened to curation? Herewith I yield the balance of mai tais.
I am not sure what you are saying. Is it a roundabout way of making a point that most of the depicted actresses/actors are not actually celebrities? If so, true, but some are. Probably the biggest is Madonna. I had no idea that she performed unsimulated sex in a mainstream movie. I am not a big fan of hers, but I have more respect for her in knowing that she did. The movie, apparently, is not very good though, even if that one scene was.
Anyway, I think that “celebrity” here just means a non-porn actor or actress, even if most are not all that famous. I think that it might be considered a career-limiting role for a legitimate actor/actress to have real sex on screen, although some have gotten away with it. Albeit they often were criticized for it and/or said that they regretted it, which is unfortunate IMO. I wish that our society could have a more positive and relaxed attitude to sexuality.
My point was that I’d rather pay for the Atlantic to get the curation than defeat the NYT’s paywall to get it for free and have to sift through “everything fit.” I want the celebrity only, in narrowly edited clips of just their nudity. I don’t want the non-nude context scenes, nor the non-celebrity co-stars. It’s that simple. Notwithstanding that the standard is escalated to extra-mile, I still don’t give a shit if few actual celebrities go that far. OK, then that means “celebrity extra-mile” is a select topic with an eye-dropper drip of qualified material. Want to include more? OK, so include more & call it something else. Mainstream extra mile. For example.
Also notice how my calling “celebrity” a misnomer is fortified by my explanation, while your excuses don’t even bother to contradict that claim.
(“True” acknowledges, “but some are” admits the content doesn’t fit the title. AKA clickbait.)
As for relaxed attitude to sexuality, obviously I have it, wish our society had it, and want more celebrities to have it. And go the extra mile.
Evidently, this true sentiment doesn’t have any bearing on my desire to call a thing out for what it is, and not to advertise it as something else.
Thanks for the additional explanation, but I am still not entirely following this aspect of what you are saying. Perhaps a bit too much “inside baseball’ for me.
