Ok, so I'm not old enough to exactly remember old hollywood as its called, but I have a feeling that recently they may have been turning over in their graves.
Has anyone taken a look at movies recently? More importantly, has anyone taken a look at the stars, if you can call them that.
Now to be fair, not all film stars fall into the, hot but not much else category. To those, I say, rock on. Its to the recent onslaught of cant do much more then pout, wear a tight dress, or go shirtless crowd that I feel a new disdain for.
The old hollywood stars were hot to, but in that glam way, not the skank way. And while they were hot, they could also sing, dance and act. Today, all you have to be is hot. Don't agree? Megan Fox-yeah, running around with CG robots-not exactly groundbreaking performance. Lindsay Lohan? Screaming and writhing s neither singing, or dancing. Chad Michael Murray? I don't even want to start. If the best we can do in the future triple-threat status is Zac Efron, I may start crying now.
If these are the stars of tomorrow, now and the future-our future is in serious trouble. I'm from this era, so I get the hot, gyrating, nakedness being a draw. But, I also appreciate being able to walk into a theatre and feeling like I truly saw a performance. I'm getting worried that may not be all that visible if we keep playing hot over ability.
My rant of discontent is placed firmly between opening weekend of GI Joe-and G-force. When did good quality films require art house movie theatres to be seen? When will we make, just for fun-heat-and speed movie theatres. Oh Paper Heart and Inglorious Bastards...please help restore my faith.
