One thing I like about recent tv shows is there is a lot of, lets say middle aged romance. Sons of Anarchy, Nashville, Empire, The Americans all have people well into their 40s and 50s with overly exciting love lives. But it better than acting like only those 30 and younger need apply.

I don’t think that she was in “The Departed”.

When I hit 40, it was impressed upon me that I should now cut my hair short, wear sensible shoes, invest in pastel polyester and channel my passion towards something more age-appropriate, like needlepoint.
As if.

Maggie’s day passed years ago.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that. After awhile it becomes creepy if you’re old and everyone still thinks you’re f-able.

“I dont think that she was in The Departed.”
You are correct. That was Vera Farmiga. I tend to mix the two of them up.
My bad.

VF and MG do look a little similar. Farmiga is older and has worked far more regularly. There’s a reason for that.

“Rent boys,” first heard that term today, when it was told that Brad Pitt is bisexual and he pays to play.

The rules of Hollywood are very simple. You can get gigs if you’re pretty and you can get gigs if you can act. Every actor comes to a point in their aging process where they find out why they were getting gigs. Sorry Maggie.

Actually, this should apply to both female and male actors. From 20-30 they are typically at their sexual attractiveness peak, but from there they need to branch out as having some other value than sexual attractiveness.
Yeah, you are pretty. What else can you do? Pretty doesn’t last, so what else you got?
A lot of male and female actors figure the only thing they can do after their peak are “mommy” and “daddy”, or even “grandparent” roles. And while there is a place for those roles, to imagine that is the only thing people over the age of 30 can do is pretty weak.

Sadly, Maggie is ugly on the INSIDE.

Yeah, you are pretty. What else can you do? Pretty doesnt last, so what else you got? Some last. Mary-Louise Parker still looks good into her 50's. She was still hot in Red 2.

Way back about 28 years ago, my folks and my pastor were sitting and talking. My dad was joking about my mom turning 40, and trading her in on two 20-year-olds. My pastor, without missing a beat, informed my dad that he wasn't wired for 220...
I miss ya Pastor Britt.

One reason (among many) why I can't stand a lot of modern films is the filmmakers penchant for pairing as love items an old male fart and a nubile, young sweetie.
I remember watching some Clint Eastwood flick about ten years ago when the obviously old and withered Clint started making love to some babe who looked like she just graduated from junior high. I'm only slightly exaggerating.
I couldn't take the movie seriously after that one exceptionally stupid scene. And I'm a long time Clint fan.
