That's too bad. You need a Hook who's going to chew the scenery, not get eaten up by it. Why not Dustin Hoffman again? ...he's still around.

From a feminist friend of a friend:

“This is nice and it’s cool for a straight guy to talk about having a new perspective on the male gaze, good for him. but the fact that it’s gone so viral is a little upsetting to me. do we really expect so little of men that Dustin Hoffman recognizing that, you know, beauty doesn’t necessarily accompany substance (and vice versa) is inspirational?”

So, what's his big revelation here? That unattractive women are interesting, too? Really? Not impressed.

He admits to working his fame on attractive women and then felt guilty for it, and made Tootsie to make up for his guilt (and cashed in, in the process). I don't hold it against him for having a "come to Jesus" moment, by dressing up in drag. I don't even care that he got emotional when he shared it with the American Film Institute, as some sort of cultural revelation.

What bothers me is that we live in a culture that feeds off these momentary glimpses of heart, when we all know that there is really so much more. And that this admiration for such a minor insight really sets the standard far too low.

Let's not mistake a sincere moment with actual, you know, integrity.
Sure, it's a sweet video and a sweet message (maybe a bit saccharine for my tastes). And Tootsie is, for sure, a great flick! But, crying on camera is not the limit-case for what constitutes a touching and meaningful moment, particularly one like this, devoid of any real context and depth. It's emptiness masquerading as meaning.

Crocodile.

So how shallow and insensitive do you have to be to simply ignore a whole segment of the female population based solely on their appearance?

This video is getting so much play among so-called "conscious" women about how "not enough men" are as "sensitive and empathic" as Dustin Hoffman is in this video, but all I can see is how much of a dick he was, and is only getting emotional here because he realizes his own insensitivity and how unlikely he is to change his ways...

And besides, most of the "societally attractive" women that I've met are frequently far less interesting to talk to than the "normal-looking" woman (or more uniquely beautiful ones), since the "societally beautiful" women have very little need to develop a real personality, since so much is given to them, on the basis of their looks alone..

What a shame.

Upvote for the credits.

She has the acting chops of Jessica Alba.


And the guys? You would compare them maybe to Dustin Hoffman, Geoffrey Rush, and Daniel Day-Lewis?

It's a comedy short. I don't think they were shooting for an award at Cannes.

Jeez who piped NOS into the room?


random thought: has there been any research done about using different types of gases to lure consumers into stores / shopping malls / fast food restaurants? an obvious one is gases that smell really nice, i think they're used already... but what about legal psychoactive gases?
