"I'm writing a film. With our access to these powerful media, we're going to take over, because it's really disgusting what is put out there now to be consumed"
About this Quote
The word "take over" is doing double duty. On the surface, it’s ambition. Underneath, it’s a corrective to the soft, polite language women in entertainment are often expected to use when they want change. Bonet rejects "let's improve representation" talk for something closer to a coup: if the output is "disgusting", the problem isn’t taste; it’s governance.
"Put out there now to be consumed" lands like a diagnosis of the audience relationship as much as the industry’s. Content isn’t shared, it’s fed. The subtext is that mainstream media has trained people to accept a narrow menu - sensationalism, objectification, empty spectacle - and to confuse availability with value. Bonet’s intent reads less like moral panic than cultural self-defense: reclaiming narrative as a way to stop being packaged by other people’s imaginations. The context is an actress signaling a shift from being cast to being an author, and implying that authorship is the only real leverage in a system that sells images first and excuses later.
