Since I'm feeling my way with this new blog, trying to decide what kind of posts fit and what kind do not, I've been torn on writing about the Golden Globes.I've decided against it.
I think that any commentary I could offer about them would boil down to my opinion about other people's opinions--and that's not comment about pictures. It would, however, be a commentary about popular culture--and that would be good enough, except for this: If you read this blog at all (or if you know me) you'll quickly figure out what I would say. I think that popularity (the kind that determines these awards) is a measure of the effectiveness of marketing and the product of herd mentality. It is not a reliable a pointer toward what is edifying and what will last.
So "no comment" on the Golden Globes. Let 'em pick whoever they like, and good for 'em.
It's just movies, after all. It's just entertainment! (When they start giving awards for Best Plumber Who Showed Up At 4AM When The Pipes Burst, gimme a call.)
