And even when it comes to ...I agree with you Garf. And even when it comes to the really great ones - as people, they are no more or less interesting than the rest of us. Take Meryl Streep for example. Highly regarded as one of the great film actresses of our time (and I do love her movies), what the hell do I care who she is married to, where she went shopping last week or what she is having for dinner tonight. But the media is only partially to blame for all the hype that these hollywood types get. It's a cliche, but it's true - if there wasn't a market out there for it, it wouldn't sell. It's the mindless sheep of our populace that feeds on that drivel.Faltanushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18259316195343682305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14089279.post-1132330666099688412005-11-18T16:17:00.000+00:002005-11-18T16:17:00.000+00:00oh and interesting thoguth for you, most of these ...oh and interesting thoguth for you, most of these "hollywood" actors, adopt a canadian accent (as purportedly its easiest to understand) rather than a yank one!

I mean, take Ioan Gruffydd, for example. The only Hollywood production I've heard him do in his native accent was 102 Dalmations, and that was a stinker. Then you've got Gwyneth Paltrow and Renee Zellweger doing their fakey English accents every chance they get. What the fuck? Why not just pick an English actress in the first place?<BR/><BR/>And don't get me started on Madge/Esther/whatevershe'scallingherselfthesedays.

How can you go from ordinary actor to the best thing since Olivier (who was boring except in Sleuth and Clash of the Titans) at the drop of a final edit on a cutting room floor?<BR/><BR/>What really ticks me off about some of these people is the way their accents change when they move to America. Just look at Mel Gibson, Catherine Zeta Jones, Isla Fisher, Sheena Easton, and now Madonna coming over here with her English ways for fuck's sake! These are grown up people, not children. This sort of thing just does not happen in the real world. Bunch of affected bastards.<BR/><BR/>Here's a question for you: Have you ever been able to take Tom Cruise seriously in any role that he's played? No, me neither.Sniffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373942595139748242noreply@blogger.com
