Blake Lively and the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Filed Under (Celebrities, Movies) by jay

Blake Lively is returning from Gossip Girl and slipping back into her role as  Bridget Vreeland in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 this week in theaters.  I for one am unimpressed at this attempt to cash in one more time.  First of all, sequels that exist soley to make a producer a couple million more dollars are a waste of time.  Second, I saw the first movie and i thought it sucked.

Ok, so being a male in my late twenties I was not exactly what they had in mind when thinking “Target demographic”  However, sucky is sucky no matter what.  Blake Lively left so little an impression on me that I forgot she was even in it.  In fact, the only one that I even remembered was America Ferrera and that is just because she’s ore my type anyway.

Blake Lively does a passible job on gossip girl but the fact remains that she is a generic, interchangeable bobble headed actress.  There are a couple dozen women just like her making movies and tv today and I doubt I could pick her out of a line up if asked to do so.  I can’t fault her too much though.  She is just who she is, a specific type that is popular in our culture right now.  She fits the type and so the powers that be in hollywood manufactured a star out of her.  She’s probably makingg some pretty decent bank right now so more power to her.  If only I had been born a “type.”  or rather, if only I had been born the right type.

So lets review, Blake Lively, generic bobblehead.  Sisterhood of the traveling pants 2, cynical ploy to make more money.  Do I care about either.  I care enough to write this entry, bitching about it while my baby takes a nap.  Beyond that though, I don’t think I’ll let it bother me for the rest of the week.
