In her NPR interview, multi-talented Lake Bell exercised surprise (mixed with disgust) that a modern culture promotes imitation of child-talk and intonations by the girls as sexy. But a (symbolic) pedophilia among the globalized ruling classes becomes a universal tendency. Half-jokingly, I attributed it to the decline of the American Empire imitating decline of the Roman Empire not only in substance but also in form (see my essay "Model Business" and comments).
My blog reviews movies as political, historical or social commentary with intentional disregard for their artistic or cinematic value. One foe of American political scientists and economists is that they ignore movies as sources to inform them on changes in American culture, view exoticism as a hallmark of "foreigness" and, at the same time, impart American values and judgment to foreign movies.
