Plus, all the "celebrities" are manufactured by the PR guys. There is not one real person out there whom I would deeem a 'star'. Where are the true movie stars anymore?? Where are the real musicians? Not the ones appearing (and made by) MTV? Shows like American Idol demonstrate the idiocy of today's music business. These people are nothing and have nothing to offer. Comments??
You are correct of course. I dont know much about American Idol since I dont watch it, and just the trailers for shows such as queer eye for the straight guy ,and fear factor make me want to barf. Saturday Night Live needs to be replaced by showing an old silent movie--much funnier--.Country Music today sucks, pop music sucks. Rap isnt even music, just some buttwipe mumbling incoherent rhymes that I never understand because you have to listen 5 times to figure out what the asswipe is saying and I would never listen the first time
The last true Movie "Stars" died off in the last generation, and the so-called celebrities of today are mere shells compared to once was. There really is no one these days that you could compare to men like an Eastwood, or a John Wayne or Humphrey Bogart or women like Crawford, Bacall or Stanwyck. There's no one around these days who for shear talent could be compared to any of these film legends, True stars through their own personal efforts. I could go on but it would be pointless.
I do feel that today's "Stars" are hampered both by combined factor of Hollywoods' writers political agenda and in many cases an unbelievable lack of talent by many of the young "performers" marketed to us these days. They are all simply there, so to speak, cause they look pretty(I don't know what his politics are, but Brad Pitt does come close to actual stardom).
I'm a Movie Buff, always have been, and always will be. But these days I am loathed to watch anything produced by "Follywood" simply because they have lost the magic touch of old, when they produced films that lifted your spirits and celebrated life, championed Liberty and True Justice, and sometimes sent you home not only feeling better about yourself, but gave you some things to think about.
