Caught an article on Breitbart regarding Anne Hataway lamenting about not getting roles at 32 that she would easily get at 24.

Granted, Anne Hathaway is very attractive at age 32 and will likely be one of the WB 8/10s well into her 40s. However, the Hollywood machine is bursting at the seams with hot fresh meat in their early 20s.

A society that cannot come to terms with and accept the cold hard nature of reality must blame these phenomena on cultural problems in need of fixing, almost always by "equality" legislation. In this case, Anne chooses ageism.

Of course, these complaints of ageism piggyback on yet another piece of equalism propaganda; her new film The Intern.



I used to be proud of the fact that the U.S. did not have any real state-funded propaganda media like the BBC or CBC. However, I've come to realize that we actually have the biggest state funded media machine in the world, it's Hollywood.

Hathaway, amusingly, bewails the fact she doesn't get the 24-year-old's role when in the same breath admits that she benefited from the same phenomenon while the Wall was still a few goods leagues away. Compare and contrast Russell Crowe's incredulity that a fiftysomething woman is bitching about not getting roles as a young female temptress anymore.

I am not the first to say it, but funny how women never complain about the bias in favor of the young and hot until they are no longer young and hot.

Ageism this isn't a cubicle farm in corporate America. It's mass media.

Guys get turned on by hot young women ...News at 11.

She acknowledges this.

Quote:"I can't complain about it because I benefited from it," the October cover star said. "When I was in my early 20s, parts would be written for women in their 50s and I would get them. And now I'm in my early 30s, and I'm like, 'Why did that 24-year-old get that part?' I was that 24-year-old once. I can't be upset about it; it's the way things are."

Her dike hair in Interstellar did damage to her career. She looked like shit.

Maybe it also has something to do with her not being a raving bitch at 24. The woman has gotten a bad reputation for her on-set behavior and most directors would rather not deal with it. They'd rather have a young, fresh talent who's eager to work and will listen to direction.

Plus, people just get bored of seeing the same person on screen. Fresh talent is naturally going to be younger.

Also, I never found her particularly attractive.

Just like porn.

She was also involved with some bad boy Italian real estate developer. He defrauded investors and didn't file properly with the IRS and there was evidence that she knew this was going on but didn't get charged.

She also dropped him the second it looked like he was going to jail (which he did). None of this could have endeared her to the Hollywood elite, who like to avoid the very people they glorify in their underdog/gangster films.

Also, I have a memory of her wearing see-through tops with nothing under them to awards shows and then getting mad at people when they mentioned...she was wearing see-through tops with nothing under them to award shows. Does anyone remember what this was about? Did she get pissed at Letterman or Stern? I can't find any info online.

She also gave some rambling nonsense speech at an awards show that I remember was making the rounds. She sounds like quite the headcase already.

I bet when she finally hits the wall her sanity will also hit the wall too.

It just occurred to me that Hathaway's quote was probably fed to her by a publicist because it brings up the issue of female empowerment, which loosely relates to her new, which she's making the rounds promoting.

It's called "The Intern" and was written and directed by a woman, Nancy Myers. The plot: "Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway), the founder and CEO of a fashion based e-commerce company, agrees to a community outreach program where a senior, Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro), will intern at the firm."

This looks to me like the film version of those "men are obsolete" articles that were polluting mags and newspapers a few years ago.

Whenever a star says anything these days, the real story can usually be told by whatever they're trying to push. Madonna invented the "make your every word self-promotion" concept and it's stuck. It's no longer the '60s where the Beatles or Hendrix would just spout off about whatever was on their mind.

This has already been mentioned but I am sure her looking like shit and this is where ironically the PC-ness of Hollywood gets exposed has a huge role in her not getting the roles she desires.

If she didn't cut her hair to look like a gay man she would still be in demand or at least not losing roles to younger actresses because she still hasn't hit the wall provided she has long hair. She hasn't let herself go either. Someone should tell her that she needs to look attractive again though I have always thought her looks have been overrated to begin with.

There's a reason why her role in Les Miserables was celebrated by the SJW-infested press: it's classical Critical Theory, Ugliness trumps Beauty every time.



I'd guess it greatly-devalued her stock, even in an Industry that doesn't value truly-beautiful women to begin with. Despite occasional holdouts, Hollywood, since the PC virus infected it in the mid-80's, generally began selling 6's as 9's. There's a particularly-late 80's focus on the supposed sex symbols having short hair.

As such, you'd have mid-80's Hollywood 80's starting to sell actresses like Melanie Griffith as a sex symbol:



A tradition that continues to this day, where your female star of an erotic film looks like this:



Europe in the mid-80's was having none of this 'ugliness is beauty' bollocks. When the plot hinges on a beautiful woman - such as 1985's 'Lifeforce' - the woman will be an 8 or a 9.

At least that made sense. If you wanted long hair in zero gravity that'd be a cgi pain in the ass.
