I mean, you can see it in their eyes. There's not really anything there.
Bradd Pitt probably got so famous because of his looks, but he's also a charismatic and simply good actor. When has that lost its importance?
That is all. 
BTW, saw Lemony Snickett a while back. Amazing work from Jim Carrey, all those roles... Also, really gorgeous end-credits. The movie was quite good, but it had so much more potential. |
People will lap up whatever they're given, whatever they're told to like. The easier to digest, the better. It's the same way with music, games, culture, everyday life - people are undiscerning and go for the quick fix because they have grown up and become saturated with that stuff and don't know any better.
