[QUOTE="Redcrosse, post: 1532811, member: 19009"] Not only are most actors not too swift, but most stars today aren’t even very talented at the one thing you should rightly demand from them: acting ability. You could maybe argue some small defense of the cult of celebrity in the seventies when the gifted likes of De Niro, Pacino, Nicholson and Hackman made it to the top and were preeminent stars. But today’s “stars” (to even call them that since most can’t pull a big audience) are either insufferably woke progressives like Brie Larson, or they’re literally cycling roids so they can land the big superhero movies and accompanying paydays like The Rock or Chris Hemsworth. Hollywood puts Hemsworth (and dozens of other guys) in movies because he looks big enough (i.e. juiced enough) to play Thor. Acting ability is largely irrelevant when the Marvel franchise, not The Godfather series, is what sells tickets. I wouldn’t turn to an artist to understand science - but ironically, today’s “artists” aren’t even really artists. They’re only famous because they’re willing to do anything for fame, including using roids to enhance their look. That all goes double for famous musicians - you’re given songs to sing by teams of professional hitmakers and your voice will be altered by autotune and other enhancements anyway. There’s no creativity involved. [/QUOTE]
