Famous Vegetarians/Vegans, Celebreties



Why showing that some famous people are vegans ? Just to show that it's not only hippies, punks, nature fanatics, etc...

"oh you don't eat meat you will become anemic, you need b12 and you'll miss this and that" yeah yeah yeah.Some of the most beautiful, brillant and intelligent persons in the world chose to avoid eating meat.





Order a FREE 'Vegetarian Starter Kit' at GoVeg.com.



Read what they have to say here :

Josh Hartnett:
"I gave up meat when I was 12. … One day I was cutting up a chicken for my mom, and I hit a tumor with the knife. There was [pus] and blood all over the place. That was enough for me."

Kim Basinger:
"If you could feel or see the suffering, you wouldn't think twice. Give back life. Don't eat meat."

Wu Tang Clan's Masta Killa:
"I never really liked meat. I was a child that had to be forced to eat my meat. Whatever you ate before [going vegetarian] that you loved—like turkey slices—they've got a substitute now that's not hard to find."





Mmm, Alicia Silverstone, Naomi Watts, such nice bodies, with absolutly no meat rotting inside their beautiful bodies. They're as pure as fresh fruits ; )

Just some music videos I like

Radiohead is definitely one of my favorite band. We might not be able to hear clearly all the lyrics (at least not me, being French) but who cares. He uses his voice as an instrument to express feelings. Classical music like Beethoven symphonies don't have any lyrics and it's great. This is probably my favorite song of the recent album, you might prefer to watch it on Gliving channel for it is on a larger screen.

Another great artist whose I love his music videos, songs and lyrics is of course Leonard Cohen. His texts are the most beautiful of all the musical world, imho. Of all his albums, there is only one song I consider not being good "un canadien errant". Compared to Bob Dylan whose another great contemporary singer -- he is more productive than Cohen but almost half of his songs suck, and sometimes a whole album is bad. This will never happen with Cohen because he works ten times longer on each song, until it becomes a masterpiece, really.

Last Year's Man


A Youtube user wrote :
"Leonard Cohen is evidence that the divine is not limited to god"


Then another user commented :
""To create is divine, to replicate is human."
So for me every true artist is divine!"

the relation between movies and actors

ACTORS
Here's some of my favorites. I just love their personality in real life, or the characters they chose.

I love the freedom that emanates from James Dean. In movies he was faithful to his true image. It's all about authenticity. He wouldn't have been able to play a role too different.

Marilyn Monroe is simply too beautiful. But of course it's not all there is about her. It's more about the beauty and passion that she express and her spontaneity. Her way to talk, look, move, think. -

Now Juliette Lewis is quite different form the others above ! or the actress here that ressemble most to her is Marilyn. With Juliette, it's all about innocence. She's crazy and innocent as a child. She's probably not the most brillant of girls on the planet, but she's very special, energic, outrageous, and I just find her cute. Provocative with class. She often plays roles of a simple minded girl, or just a simple and lovely girl like in "What's eating Gilbert Grape?". And she's like that in real life too. That rule applies to most good actors. I guess it's a way to be even more credible. While of course some actors can play very different roles from their real life and from a movie to another, like Marlon Brando for instance.

MOVIES
Of course, the movies these actors chose to play in is an important factor of their quality of acting. Despite the most horrible screenplay or directing, even the best of all actors cannot do miracles and the overall acpects of the movie will greatly harm the performance of the actor. But, the fact that those actors chose to play in those excellent movies stems from the fact that they are great artists, and this results from being great human beings. That is what we call being an Artist of Life. Or simply someone that masters his life and destiny... there's no destiny, the person creates it herself everyday.
Finally, the relation between the movie and the actor, or the director and actor. Both work together to unite and form a piece of art. One needs the other, otherwise the film sucks.
The movie is good for the career of the director and the actor too. That is why actors need to chose their projects wisely and trusting their instinct sometimes, and also why directors need to chose the right actors.


I used to have a huge collection of movies, a large selection of bought or copied DVD's and VHS. But events in my life have made that I got rid of most of them. I still own a few, and there's still a few I want to own. The minimum. I don't want to carry too many objects and attach to them.
Those are the ultimates -- to me. I know some of them are really not considered as masterpiece or classic. It's just that I love the themes or the actors. Eventhough the technical aspects may not always be perfect or mastered, it is because it wasn't that important for the story or that film in particular, and it doesn't matter when the movie speaks to me.
