re: Jessica Lange, on filming "American Horror Story" in New Orleans

I'm from Nola and I think what Lange said was a bunch of BS (and I've watched all 3 seasons of American Horror Story).

It makes no fricking sense and sounds like some delusional crap that an out-of-touch Hollywood actress would say; they generally think they have the authority on these matters because they're 'cultured' and 'worldy'...and quite frankly what she said contradicts itself..."decay, decadence, but yet at the same time it's elegant"...da fuq does that mean???

Lighten up Francis

She was trying to say nice things about the area she is working in. But I guess frick actors and the money/free advertising they give the area from their NOLA productions right?

And she was saying that while the city has parts that are coming apart which look grimy and broken its still has a certain regal beauty about it that you don't necessarily find in other major cities. And yes, something can be decaying and still be called elegant. Ever heard of the Sistine Chapel? That shite is falling apart but its still elegant.

I mean damn. Could you have sounded more bitter over a fricking compliment?

No you aren't. Your family fled NOLA to the suburbs. I've lived here for 48 years and it is the best it has been since I have been alive.

Major flaws do exist, just like any urban area. But to say that the city isn't a unique place in the American landscape is flat out wrong.

You really don't understand that?

Sorry, but no.

If you were from NOLA, you would get it.

It's not for everyone but for some it is the best place on earth.

And that seems to piss a lot of people off for some reason. Sad really.
