Lust for child sex star Brooke Shields?

Brooke Shields (1977)
Pretty Baby (XXX)
Brooke Christa Shields (born May 31, 1965) is an American model, child actress, Hollywood star, and current president of the Actors' Equity Association [2].

A child model starting at the age of 11 months [3], Shields gained widespread notoriety for her leading role in Louis Malle's film about a child hooker (sex trafficked indentured servant prostitute) Pretty Baby (1978) [which would be X-rated on most planets but not this one], in which she appeared in nude scenes shot when she was just 11 years old. Welcome to Hollywood, kid!
 
What can I say? I like them young
This piqued Woody Allen's interest so much that he hired her to play his child love interest in the hit romcom Annie Hall (1977), though her sexy and provocative scenes were later edited out of the movie after The Woodman took Shields' Momager Teri Shields on a date that didn't go so well.

Shields continued to model into her late teenage years and starred in several dramas in the 1980s, including The Blue Lagoon (1980), and Franco Zeffirelli's Endless Love (1981).

In 1983, Shields suspended her modeling career to attend Princeton U, where she graduated with a bachelor's degree. More

What if Brooke did standup comedy?

May 4th: Star Wars Day 2025: Stop Wars

Yoda the demonstrator says, "Stop Wars" rather than Star Wars (Kobra, Miami street mural)

Star Wars Day | May 4th [be with you], 2025 | News 19 This Morning - Sunday

(WHNT News 19) May 4, 2025: Every year on May 4th, Star Wars fans find a way to celebrate the sci-fi movie franchise in a big way.

CRASS: "Fight War Not Wars, Destroy Power Not People" tapestry (Etsy)

  • Similarity I see not. What Lucas thinking?
    The Green Party gets it: "Stop Wars." What's the connection?
  • George Lucas based the Star Wars character Yoda on two Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist rinpoches, the 14th Dalai Lama (with his distinctive ESL syntax and ejaculative pronunciation and peculiar articulation) and one of his seven teachers, Tsenzhab Serkong Rinpoche (Ven. Serkong).
  • Okay, there's a similarity there. Call the lawyer.
    Buddhists want peace, so Yoda wants peace. And if we can't have actual peace, we at least demand a stop to wars (psychotic state-sponsored overt violence). "Fight war, not wars," as the liberating punk rock lyrics go.
  • The name "Yoda" was chosen because Lucas envisioned the character as a [wise] "little Dalai Lama," and he wanted him to have an "Eastern-sounding" name [9] (Wiki).

Oscar nominations: Academy snubs 'Barbie'

Linda Holmes, NPR, Jan. 23, 2024; Ashley Wells, Sheldon S. (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
The Year of Pink: Greta Gerwig, Margot "Barbie" Robbie, Queen Bee, Nazi Barbie...
Why would they snub a girl who looks just like Barbie? I get so much attention for it.

No, this sucks, Ken. You get all the attention, and what do I get? Nada. - Have my gold skates.



Takeaways from the Oscar nominations: heavy hitters rewarded, plus some surprises
Linda HolmesAfter a very long year in Hollywood, Oscar nominations were announced this morning.

Most of the heavy hitters were richly rewarded.
  • A blonde bombshell was snubbed for playing a doll;
  • a man was nominated for playing a doll;
  • a woman was nominated for playing a baby (sort of);
  • a Jewish scientist was lauded for making genocide possible with a single bomb. Oops, this is Hollywood, so we better scratch that one off the list now that Steven Spielberg doesn't make easy winners anymore.
Ten pictures will vie to be considered "best." Let's talk about what happened. Oppenheimer received 13 Oscar nominations.

My cleavage will win this for me.
Not nominated were director Greta Gerwig after being lauded for her super contribution to society and the world for writing the Barbie movie. Writers don't usually get credit, so that's okay. Bottle blond actress Margot Robbie is sure to outshine her with her beauty and take the gold. Nope. No nomination for the human barbie doll. (And we don't mean Amatue, aka "Human Barbie" Valeria Lukyanova, who is making her own low budget films in Ukraine but being spiritual about it).

I'm like Nazi psychic Vril Oracle Maria Orsic.
Cillian Murphy plays J. Robert Oppenheimer. All hail. Whether Christopher Nolan is anyone's speed or not, the Academy loves him. Oppenheimer, Nolan's drama about the man who developed the atomic bomb, led all films with 13 nominations in both what are sometimes considered "major" categories (like best picture, best director, best actor, and adapted screenplay) and "technical" categories (like sound, production design and visual effects). It's not a record; a couple of other films, including Titanic, have received 14. Still, it's a very big total.
Vril Society psychic Barbie: Maria Orsic
In another year, Poor Things' 11 nominations or Killers of the Flower Moon's 10 might have led the nominations. This makes director Martin Scorsese the most nominated ever, even if he has only won one. But not up against this kind of — forgive the phrase — explosive acclaim.

Sofia (Danielle Brooks) and Celie (Fantasia Barrino) in the 2023 reincarnation of The Color Purple get attention. Brooks was nominated for her supporting performance.

Original "Barbie" was German adult sex doll (NPR)
I'm the most beautiful transhuman on Earth!
A couple of contenders came up empty or nearly so. There were a lot of films that elbowed their way into big nominations; that's what you get when you start with 10 best picture nominees.

But both Origin, the latest film from director Ava DuVernay, and All of Us Strangers, the love story starring Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal, were left out of the nominations.

The Color Purple musical adaptation was nominated only for Danielle Brooks' supporting performance — a richly deserved nod, by the way. More

Jo Koy's monologue: Golden Globe to 'Oppy'

"Mattel" Avenged Sevenfold; Golden Globes; Honest Trailers; Einstein; Eds., Wisdom Quarterly

2023 was supposed to be the year of pink
Barbenheimer
was a thing, Oppenheimer riding on the back of Barbie for Hollywood, and now the Golden Globes have double done it, choosing a lousy host and giving the bulbus award to Oppy instead of Babs. What humiliation for golden girl Greta Gerwig, who must have expected to sweep every award from here to her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Oppy is just a glorified biopic, like the Snowden film, not revealing anything, just distracting us with minor details about a personality. How do genocidal bombs get built, why are they built, what is "greatest purveyor of violence in the world today" thinking? Never mind. Hey, look, this guy is quirky. So Hollywood joins the military-industrial complex as its propaganda arm. Cue the Avenged Sevenfold Barbie song:

LYRICS: "Mattel" My vinyl skin provides protection/ It holds in place my plastic bones/ Cast button eyes reflect an image/ And all seems as it should, but there's nobody home

Cue the breeze/ That sway the painted trees/ Toy yellow birds upon the rooftops sing/ In chorus with the buzzing bees/ Melt in sun LED beams/ From the sky, bein' held on a string/ While boredom tears me apart at the seams

[Chorus] Now I know this might sound crazy/ But I've smelled the plastic daisies/ And it seems we've found ourselves in hell

Round head consumed with major nothings/ Ears made of wax unfit to hear/ Day after day, it all plays over/ Dedicated loop, same year after year/

Please attend/ All model citizens/ R.S.V.P. if we can count you in/ Empty as we play pretend/ Send our thoughts with you and to your kin/ And in case we don't see you again/ Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight

[Chorus] Now I know this might sound crazy/ But I've smelled the plastic daisies/ And it seems we've found ourselves in hell

Livin' feign in porcelain/ And just smart enough to know nothing at all/ Pull my string and make me cry/ Advertisement, moral scrawl/ A semblance of choice when there's no choice at all/ Out of stock, the end is nigh/

Burn Body, burn/ Burn/ Now I know this might sound crazy/ But I've smelled the plastic daisies/ And it seems we've found ourselves in hell


What was the result of this karma here and hereafter?

Films: "Cocaine Bear" vs. "Meth Goat" (clips)


That's stupid. Bears don't do blow, but crazy goats will eat anything, even meth

Why would an animal scream just like humans? They're not Bigfoot, which according to Native American lore, is a human tribe of cannibals -- though not all of them are cannibals, just the rambunctious and troubled adolescents. The elders try to control them, but they can't and these newly sexually aroused creatures go mad, break the rules, and get seen by humans. But that's another story. Goats are insane, goats are mad, goats are reborn like we all are but seem to remember those past births as humans and now, finding themselves penned up on ranches and farms waiting for slaughter, they scream. They must be trying to call out, as they used to be able to do when they were gifted with voice as most humans are. Not all animals remember. Not all humans have forgotten (their past lives). Not all sasquatches are bad. Your Daily Laugh brings us meme-worthy ungulates in "Funny Goats Screaming like Humans [on meth]." See more at ydl.dk. Now that we know that goats can sing, we have to ask, Is Taylor Swift the G.O.A.T.?


What if lazy Yogi Bear did blow without Boo-Boo around to calm him?

John Wick stars in "Little Buddha" (film)

Keanu Reeves as the Buddha in Little Buddha; Jen, Crystal Q., Wisdom Quarterly
Little Buddha is a classic of North American Buddhism, as Bhutanese lamas find a American kid who is a tulku, a reborn lama. Based on true events.
 
"John Wick" (Keanu Reeves) is a psycho killer glorified in American cinema. Poor Keanu, what a dummy, he used to make thought-provoking films (Little Buddha, The Matrix). 

John Wick is an American neo-noir action thriller film series directed by Chad Stahelski and written by Derek Kolstad. It stars Keanu Reeves and others. It is an installment in the John Wick film series.

This revenge story focuses on Wick searching for the men who broke into his home, stole his vintage car, and killed his puppy [all to co-opt audiences into rooting for killing], which serves as a memento of his recently deceased wife. It is a kill fest, an orgy of violence, which parents feed their kids with a low enough rating so they never hear or -- gawd forbid -- see sex on screen.
