Did you get a chance to watch the whole movie? It is a lot of fun. Travolta was nominated for Golden Globe but did not win.

He's definitely an actor. He's a VP who acts like he gives a crap about people and Merica... And he is on TV way too much.

I have noticed time and time again that when there are a male and a female performer and they both dress in 'drag', meaning they dress like the 'other sex', that there is a decided bias in people's reactions to it.

When a female dresses as a male, people find it humorous, sometimes enchanting, and sometimes rather empowering.

When a male dresses as a female, people lose their minds. They freak out and either laugh (too)uproariously or sit in a very uncomfortable slump as they actually try to avoid even looking at the performer.

This massive bias against drag performance is one more example of just how sexist we are as a nation. The fact that one version does not create such disruption as the other shows this bias in rather stark detail. A prime example of this is on the show 'Lip Sync Battle'. When a male dresses as a female to perform a song, the reaction is way more varied and extreme than when a female dresses as a male to perform a tune.

There are times it seems to me as if the biases in our society are never going to go away.

Not really a television series, more specifically the music video "The Dope Show".








Disclaimer: I may or may not have a Marilyn Manson obsession since 1998, since the release of Mechanical Animals album.

Also, if someone can't spell Marilyn Manson correctly and has something shitty to say about the man himself, I refuse take them seriously.
