Glenn Close In Damages

July 30, 2011 | Author Cindy

Why does pop culture often portray sex addicts as enlightened, free spirited and easy going individuals?

take Joey from Friends, he clearly had a sex addiction, then there’s the main cast of Sex and the City not to mention Steve Stifler from the American Pie movies. David Duchovney’s character in Californication, Glenn Close’s character of Damages and Courtney Cox in that recent show, which I forget the name of, added bonus if you can tell me the name of that show

Reply *1 tries to pull the wool over our eyes & draw us into the clutches of the ruthless multi-billion-dollar ‘sex industry’, which is also one of the 2 main drives behind the Web & seeks to get people addicted as addicts are the easiest to manipulate & part from their cash

Having just seen The Wackness confirms suspicions I voiced before going: it seems, in several ways, to promote gangsta culcha &, more specifically, drug dealing, presenting it as a legit biz & way to be admired respected & even loved

90%+ of prostitutes are drug addicts, apt to spread AIDS/STIs

I’m frankly amazed at Ben Kingsley revelling in the role of a pathetic psychiatrist, trading sessions for drugs, with a teen client whom he gives very bad advice & example

I’m also amazed that the 2 reviews I read didn’t comment on those aspects – or warn about the most realistic suicide attempt I’ve seen on film
