Does anyone have the feeling that 2016 is going to be a very miserable year? I mean, between the presidential election and the onslaught of the DC cinematic universe, it going to be one you want to forget.
I'm not American and I avoid 100.99% of all superhero films anyway, so there.

I think 2016 will be important for a certain thing I want to write about, well, near said thing's ending anyway...

Here's one: Woody Allen just did a NPR interview about his paternal "relationship" with his wife-daughter Soon-Yi Previn. Fuck that guy; he is such an obvious sexual predator that he frequently drops child-molestation jokes even into his earlier, better movies. In Hannah and Her Sisters the obvious Allen stand-in divorces one woman and marries her sister. Crimes and Misdemeanors is about a man who gets away with murder; there's even a scene where his real-life molestation victim Dylan Farrow passes by the camera. Blue Jasmine is just a thinly veiled hate letter to Mia Farrow, just because she was trying to protect her daughter from his sexual predation. I bet when he dies his wife and his current adopted daughters will come out with their own horrible molestation stories. He knows he is a child rapist and constantly rubs it in our faces. Only sex offenders can openly admit to liking his movies anymore.
If I liked the artist before I found out who they really are, I can still like their art. If I found out the artist was a piece of shit before I discovered there art, I can never look at their art in a good light.
If I had seen this painting not didn't know who the artist was, I would say it's very nice and well done... But knowing it's Hitler, I can't appreciate it.
Using anything Holocaust related as an example is a little far reaching, but rape is torture.

A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

But Woody Allen allegedly raped his seven-year old daughter:

So my accusation that he is a rapist is not torturous or far-fetched. Same with Bill Cosby BTW.

There we go. You were making a reasonable post, and then you had to end it on this inflammatory note. This is why next to no one is able to take anything you say seriously.
It's just that I want to like Woody Allen's films, but the man is such a sickening person in real life that if you admit to liking his work you are a sick person yourself. Nearly everything the he has made after 1992 is pretty terrible and vindictive and out of touch. Soon-Yi is not really his adopted daughter, and I don't want Dylan Farrow's open letter to be true either. But he still married his daughter in every sense; and Farrow is telling the truth about being a survivor of child sexual abuse. It's easy for Allen to use his money and fame to keep himself out of jail and spending the rest of his life a registered sex offender.

By that logic, everybody that likes Star Wars is a stubborn, greedy, out of touch, old man child.
I know it's a vastly different thing, just pointing out that just because an artist is a certain way doesn't make everyone who likes them that way as well.
Although Bill Cosby is definitely ruined for me, so I do see where you're coming from. But I wouldn't call everyone who is not ruined on Bill Cosby a rapist.
I think most artists are fucked up in some way. Look how many comedians and musicians kill themselves with drugs. So many are compelled to do bad or unhealthy things, and occasionally you get one that is compelled to something as sickening as rape. It's too damn common to be coincidence. Art seems to be dominated by the miserable. Then you get a guy like Bill Cosby that looked like a beacon of everything clean and right, and come to find out he does something more sickening than the comedians who swear and do drugs.
I agreed with so much that he had to say about life, and I wanted to hold him up so high. I thought so much of Bill Cosby, I still don't want to believe it. It's like when you have a falling out with a family member you really love.

I also have the same issues. My artistic struggles come from being such a perfectionist, that nothing I do is ever up to my own standards.

Hmm... I'm a musician... pothead... manic depressive... alcoholic... self destructive sad little fuck. Could be. I'm at least fortunate enough to have a personality where most people seem to like being around me. If only I wasn't always so feckin wasted to try to get *actually* close to any of them.
I'm so burnt-out it's not even funny. I feel terrible.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

Thanks, Leonardo. That helped. :o)

Let's be honest, the second and especially the first dog picture are creepy.

That is actually quite well rendered. I never thought to look at Hitler's art before.
This was also by Hitler, and I actually really like it. Does that make me genocidal? The world is filled with people who do terrible things, and some of these same people also do good things. Hitler's art doesn't redeem his atrocious acts, certainly, but I can certainly appreciate his few good ones.

How could I forget about Manhattan, where Allen sleeps with an underage Muriel Hemingway (and based on his real-life 17 year-old girlfriend at the time!) How did anyone in 1979 not see this? Pretty good film though.
He could paint an entire apartment in ONE afternoon!

Ordered a PS2 game on ebay. It said it came *disc only*, and I was okay with that because I already have the cover for it. Little did I know it literally meant disc only. Not even a jewel case. Came sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard, not even secured, and very scratched up. Seriously, thin jewel cases are like 3 dollars for 10 of them at walmart, what the fuck.
People who pull shit like that should spend an hour in the rack.
