rivercityvibe   “Puerile, smutty, schoolboy nonsense” – My Mom

I have always been mildly irritated by Oscar Winner Julia Roberts. She gives off, to my mind, a privileged, Hollywood, insulated-from reality vibe. I also thought she might be a little dim, despite her Academy Award. Having seen her performance at a celebration of Tom Hanks’ career (an actor for whom I have similar [but emphatically not the same] feelings), I am changing my mind. The old media and much of the new are headlining this with the fact that she used the word ‘fuck’ in her speech. I really don’t know what to say to that, it’s so lame. I think her speech was funny and well-judged, revealing a side to her that I have always hoped existed (to complement her undoubted hotness). Check it out.
