Coming out of retirement to tell Jared to stfu

I know you did not include a link to purchase a book by Peter Thiel thereby promoting Peter Thiel thereby increasing Peter Thiel’s paycheck.

We know Peter Thiel is successful. That’s great.

But there are dozens of other successful people you could be giving your platform and reach to — who are not rethuglican white men making bank off the backs of others while praying at the alter of trump. Peter Thiel can kindly fuck all the way off thankyouverymuch.

What is, Performative Activism for $200 Alex?

Seems like all Jared wants is a good shot of people in pain and then recognition for his supercool photography skills.

How about using his 10+ million platform to share links and resources on organizations dying for assistance right now?

How about instead of showing a pic of a girl with a sign where the actual statement about protecting trans lives is conveniently cut off - Jared actually shared a photo or info on the dozens of trans women murdered this year alone? And maybe info about who to contact to fight for justice for women who are now no longer able to fight for justice themselves?

It’s all so perforative and all so gross and if he really cared about what was happening right now and for change — he would be uplifting black and brown voices on his platform, instead of just sharing some pics he snapped. Gtfo.

He’s literally no better than an instagram influencer right now.

“Edited” to remove his own photography credit, I guess.

Cameron Diaz has [been] appearing on her friends’ podcast and social media and, most recently, this weekend she joined Leslie Jones on Instagram Live....

They start talking about Leslie’s love life, and whether or not she’ll find a boyfriend, and whether or not her age (52) might be a barrier. Which is when Cameron tells Leslie that:

“These guys who want younger girls? You don’t want them – you know why? Guys who want younger girls, are like, developmentally, they’re like not advanced. They don’t want the challenge of a woman who knows who she is or who wants, or you know they have the opportunity to not develop themselves. It’s like a regression, emotionally. And they want to stay in this place where they don’t have to do the work.”

This happens around the 50 minute mark of the conversation.

Something tells me Cammie knows of which she speaks...

When Farrelleto brought Alexander to NYC in November 2004.

  • Nov 21: Arrival. Somehow Colin is in a pic embracing Jonathan St. Gian, a guy who always accompanied Jared as Claudine did then and still does Colin. So let’s assume he was Jared’s assistant/friend. Maybe the studio flew them all together to NYC.. The movie premiere had been on Nov 16 and they were doing non-stop promo. That evening Jared strolled through Soho with J.St.G..
  • Nov 22: Special Screening of Alexander at Lincoln Center. After that a private after-party at Spicemarket, which Angelina seemed to have forgotten. She canceled her booking at another restaurant and joined her co-stars and director. Post dinner: Colin smoked some and went partying with Jared, so the source implies. The pic shows them at Bungalow 8 with Paris Hilton and Sean Lennon, who had been at the LA premiere of Alexander a week before that, and who seemed to have the hots for Angelina. The source says she went home after dinner to look after little Maddox. Wise decision.
  • Nov 23 to 26: they did a lot to promote their ill fated movie. Angelina on “Good Morning America”, Colin on “Letterman”, “Live! with Kelly”, both and Oliver Stone on “Charlie Rose” (good interview) and that very special and fun appearance on “The View” on Nov 24, which saw Colin, Angelina, Oliver, Rosario and Jared together, and a day after Thanksgiving, Colin on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”

What do we learn, what do we know? Colin and Jared shared the It girls of that decade: Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan. Jared was with Scarlett Johansson then, but she didn’t play much of a role for him. Some paparazzi pics were made in West Hollywood right before the Alexander premiere. She was out of the picture after that. She celebrated her 20th birthday on Nov 21 at Disneyland, without him. Actually, that relationship declined after Alexander came out. She turned 20, and Jared turned 33 that year. He’s always had a habit of dating much younger women. Apart from that he was busy recording “A Beautiful Lie”. Angelina had a secret affair with Brad Pitt at the time, but you can still see that she’s totally into Colin. Colin had a 14 month old baby boy by a woman he had seperated from before birth. His son had been diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder. Neither did he talk about that nor did he quite want to abandon his partying ways for being a parent. This was a time when he was still drinking red wine during interviews.

Hahaha this is.... wow. Not LA but NYC.

I knew he was on that Sofa with Colin. He definitely took that other pic of Colin. There’s no glory in being right after all those years, IT being something like that: drugged out Hollywood peeps on a sofa in 2004.

While my interest in current-day Jared Leto (like, who are you???) has prettymuch waned, I will forever be up for Farrelleto.

By the time Bateman extends a dinner invite to fellow Wall Street investment banker Paul Allen (Leto) in the 2000 satire, the audience knows how unhinged he is, considering he's already killed a homeless man. But while that murder seemed more impromptu and random, Bateman is clearly out for Allen's blood, feeling a rage of jealousy over many aspects of Allen's life — particularly his business card. After getting Allen drunk, Bateman, who Allen believes is Marcus Halberstram, brings his target back to his newspaper covered-apartment, where he turns on Huey Lewis and the News' "Hip to be Square," explaining the artistic value of the song. Now sporting a raincoat and ax, Bateman stops talking music and says "Hey Paul," causing Allen to turn around just as Bateman comes swinging at him. It was a shocking moment for Leto and viewers alike.

“We decided to shoot the rehearsal of the actual murder without telling Jared,” reveals director Mary Harron. "Christian held back his performance until then so that it would be a real surprise. When he screams 'Hey Paul' and Jared turns around and sees Christian running towards him with the axe, he looks genuinely shocked."

After scoring Leto’s genuine first reaction, Harron shot Bale repeatedly swinging at the Plexiglas-covered camera while faux blood was squirted on his face. And they had to get it right quickly, because the mess only allowed for minimal takes. "It was one of those scenes where everything does fall into place," says Harron. "By accident, the blood spray only hit one side of Christian's face. When you look at him head-on, his face seems covered in blood. But when you look at him from the side, his face looks quite clean. It was a perfect metaphor for the Jekyll-and-Hyde aspect of Bateman: pristine on the outside, bloody and psychotic on the inside. And it all happened by chance.”

Leto, as the hapless Paul Allen, lay in a pool of blood during a brutal all-night shoot for the filming of Bateman’s postmurder celebration, seen above. “It’s not easy to do an ax murder,” shares Harron. “[The crew’s] feelings mirrored the image of Patrick Bateman on the sofa, breathing a sigh of relief, rewarding himself with his cigar, reflecting on a job well done.”
