Baby Boomer Celebrities

Morgan Freeman, Tommy Lee Jones, Jane Seymour, Johnny site bague homme mariage Mathis, and Rene Russo all starring together in the movie Getting Started set in my hometown Palm Springs. bague homme bhv A baby boomer delight, right

Of course, I was excited to see this movie. The premise had some possibilities. Freeman playsDuke Diver, the manager of a luxury Palm Springs retirement community packed with retirees, who has some mysterious secrets bague homme jules from his past.

Some sight gags in the beginning of the movie, like Christmas carolers dressed in Dickensian bague homme karl lagerfeld clothes wearing flip flops, made me smile a bit. Pun intended, I just getting started!

Is anyone else tired of the elderly portrayed as horny, desperate, and lonely The women in this movie are dismally portrayed as dejected, just waiting around collier lune pour chat pas cher for the bague homme la roche sur yon attention of their male counterparts. Don they have anything else better to do

There was a creepy scene in the beginning of the movie with Glenne Headly (who I remember from Lonesome Dove and sadly discovered died this year at the young age of 62) standing on a ladder with Freeman ogling her and making inappropriate comments.

This bague homme image is especially sad since it was announced today that Oscar winning Freeman, who starred in some of my favorite movies like Redemption, has been accused of inappropriate behavior and sexual harassment by eight women. Freeman apologized to anyone felt uncomfortable or disrespected. disappointment: Although the opening scenes were shot in my bague homme juwelo California desert, the rest of Getting Started was clearly not filmed here. I found out later that most of the movie was shot in New Mexico. They even ripped off the name of the famous atmospheric Melvyn restaurant here, once a magnet for Hollywood elite like the Rat Pack, Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, Marlon Brando, Rita Hayworth, and Jerry Lewis, and slapped it on a building that obviously was not the original restaurant.

Aside from my local umbrage, this movies was just sad. I couldn collier lune plaque or keep watching it. But I hear it only got worse. As a review on Roger Ebert website said, the movie evolves from being a horny oldsters on the loose caper to a macho one upmanship contest and, finally, a crime film about foiling a mob hit beset with dreary car chases, a literal snooze fest stakeout, a rather tame cobra stuck in a golf bag and perhaps one of the least exciting bomb explosions ever captured on film. a year bague homme plate celtique that produced Oscar winning performances of boomers that didn fit into the typical stereotypes, Getting Started is especially disappointing. Last year, Jeff Bridges, 67, starred as bague homme deloche a Texas Ranger tracking down stainless steel bague homme a pair of bank robbing brothers. Viggo Mortensen, 58, played a father devoted bague homme glamira to raising his six kids bague collier lune orelia london homme football with a rigorous education that challenged his philosophy about life. And Isabelle Huppert, 63, played a woman who turned the tables on her attacker. That seemed like a nice change since we baby boomers are not grumpy, over sexed, old codgers cussing up a storm like we are often portrayed in Hollywood. We are active, productive, and vibrant members of society.

As I pointed out in a previous blog, taille bague homme 20mm days, if Hollywood ridiculed an ethnic group, the LGBT community, or the disabled in movies, people would be in an uproar. Warren Beatty, 79, and Faye Dunaway, 76, accidentally announced the wrong movie for Best Picture.

Twitter was immediately on fire, calling Beatty stupid, dim witted, bague homme en tungstene brain dead, senile, and blind. People completely blamed him and his age for the screw up and cruel and degrading name calling ensued.

Later, it bague homme main gauche was announced that the incident wasn his fault after all. The Academy mistakenly gave him the wrong card for Best Actress. Apparently, Beatty saw La La Land name on the card and was confused as to why Emma Stone name was on it.

As Beatty explained on the show,probably sensing people were going to call him senile: want to tell you what happened. I opened the envelope and it said, Stone, ‘La La Land.’ That’s why I took such a long look at Faye, and at you. I wasn’t trying to be funny. people still blamed Beatty for passing the card to Dunaway to read, supposedly letting her take the fall. But, my reaction was different. I think he handed her the card looking for a second opinion. Dunaway thought he was joking ( impossible, come on, she said) and read the card.

This morning, some of the press, and people on social media, claimed that Beatty should have asked for help when he noticed there was a problem. Maybe, but I say, give the man a break. Could you think calmly with 37 million people watching collier lune de soy luna I would venture a guess that a lot of younger people would have done the same thing.

Besides, even the Academy admitted this whole thing wasn Beatty or Dunaway fault! And their age had nothing to do with the flub either. (By the way, even if Beatty was totally to blame,it wouldn justify all the mean spirited mocking and name calling that, in my opinion, was sadly based on people lack of respect for the elderly.)

Recently Humana invited me to watch and participate online in a panel discussion they sponsored, Over Sixty, Under Estimated: A Healthy Look at the “Silver” Screen at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles that included baby boomer actress Francis Fisher. During the discussion, the panel made a good point:

These days, if Hollywood ridiculed an ethnic group, the LGBT community, or the disabled in movies, people would be in an uproar. So why do people quietly tolerate the collier lune fin way movies make fun of older peopleOlder characters in movies have often been bague homme kiabi stereotyped as irritable, depressed, slow witted, lonely, sickly, whiny, rude, horny, and foul mouthed as if that’s all they had to offer.

However, this faux pas at the Oscar Show and all the ridicule obviously based on Beatty and Dunaway age makes me think I was wrong. While some cultures honor the elderly, in general, Hollywood seems to be reflecting society ongoing disrespectful, negative view of aging.

I realize that during this divisive time in America, many of you stayed away from the Academy Award show because of its political viewpoints.

This is a politically neutral blog, but I love to hear your opinion. Was Beatty unjustly called stupid because of his age Do you think the increase in the aging population will change people opinions of the elderly Please share your thoughts in the comments below. The elderly have been shown as irritable, depressed, slow witted, lonely, sickly, whiny, rude, horny, and foul mouthed as if that all they had to offer. Cinema has often reflected society’s attitudes toward the 50 plus crowd who in real life were often ridiculed or ignored.

But hopefully the times are a changin’, as Bob Dylan famously sang.

This year, the Academy’s Oscar nominees include a notable number of people over 50, including Mel Gibson, for directing Hacksaw Ridge; Jeff Bridges, for Best bague homme 200€ Supporting Actor in Hell or High Water; Viggo Mortensen, for Best Actor in a Leading Role in Captain Fantastic; Meryl Streep for Best Actress in a Leading Role in Florence Foster Jenkins, and Isabelle Huppert for Best Actress in a Leading Role in Elle.

And they don happen to fit into the typical stereotypes. Jeff Bridges, comment taille bague homme 67, stars as a Texas Ranger tracking down a pair of bank robbing brothers. Viggo Mortensen, 58, plays collier lune png a father devoted to raising his six kids with a rigorous education that challenges his philosophy about life. Meryl Streep, 67, once again proves older women can still steal scenes front and center. And Isabelle Huppert, 63, plays a woman who turns the tables on her attacker.

Maybe that’s a start. Perhaps Hollywood, and society at large, haven completely forgotten the value of the elderly with their knowledge, life experience, and insight.

As an article in the San Diego Tribune pointed out, we baby boomers “are reinventing society’s idea of what it means to grow old. Seniors today carry cell phones, not walkers. They sit on bicycles, not rocking chairs. Arts and crafts, bingo and checkers have been replaced with jogging, white water rafting and skiing. Seniors are healthy, vibrant, influential members of our society.”..
