Bun, cheating, infidelity, bruk foot – whatever you want to call it, it’s been a part of relationships since the dawn of time. (Dawn of time? Don’t quote me on that, but I’m pretty sure). Over the past few months, the public has been bombarded by local and international media about which celebrities have been caught stepping out on their significant others, gag orders, injuctions, super-injunctions, love child(ren) etc. What gets me is the shock and awe these stories generate amongst readers.
You know how you go to the movies and there’s always several people who insist on texting – or heavens forbid, talking – on their cell phones during the movie? I don’t know about you, but I find it ridiculously annoying and quite rude, too! In the US, the “no cell phones” rule is more strictly enforced in cinemas and especially on Broadway (trust me, don’t try using your cell phone during a Broadway play, you’re in for a rude awakening). Anyhoo, a movie patron in Austin, Texas, was escorted from The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema for using her cell phone during a movie. I love the post on their website by their CEO and his closing line, “Ma’am, you may be free to text in all the other theaters in the Magnited States of America, but here at our “little crappy ass theater,” you are not. Why you may ask? Well, we actually do give a f*$k.” Can you imagine if Palace Cineplex in Jamaica did that? HA!
It’s kind of been a crazy couple of weeks. I’m starting off this round-up with a mini battle of the sexes – the women of the Jamaican Bloggersphere take on a range of topics – infidelity, Twitter personalities and more. Check it out.
Last night, I ran into a preview of an upcoming documentary called Dark Girls. The name alone should suggest what the film is about – an exploratory look at the “deep-seated biases and attitudes about skin color – particularly dark-skinned women, outside of and within the Black American culture”. You may ask why on Earth I’d be sharing this, but we have the same issues right here in Jamaica. One only has to take a look around and see the men, women, boys and girls who fervently practise (and advocate) bleaching of the skin. Scheduled for release in Fall/Winter of 2011, this documentary promises to be powerful.
