Movie stardom, you in danger girl.

What’s a movie, OP? Was that like a thing before like Tik Tok, Snapchat, Netflix and shit?

When you buy 28 different variants of Taylor's latest album, you don't have any money left to go to the movies.

The movies require these smooth brains to put their phones away. They can’t.

I'm sure blaming individuals for a systemic problem will work a treat, r3.

Pop stars develop closer relationships with their fans because their songs are about them. So fans feel like they know the pop star. It's a deeper parasocial relationship.

With actors, they're just playing a character and the story isn't about them. So the connection isn't as strong.

The problem with pop stars is that they refuse to take small roles, try to capitalize on their pop stardom in big roles, then bomb because they can't act.

Say what you will about WWE people like The Rock, John Cena, and Dave Bautista, they started with small enough roles (in which they bombed as actors) that bombing didn't destroy their chances to be actors.

Last week after dinner my date asked if I’d like to see a movie. I suggested w just go back to my place and watch Netflix.

She has no talent. I can sing better than her.

Genuine draws are more rare than ever, but the whole brand thing is bigger than ever. Almost every actor is also a businessman/woman these days.

This is still absolutely insane to me. Madonna was absolutely massive in the 80s but I cannot imagine anyone but the most devoted, obsessive stan buying 28 versions of True Blue.

Nobody wants to pay 17 bucks to sit in over air conditioned theater when our tvs are just as good if not better quality. And you don’t have to worry about getting the shot the fuck up or some ghetto ratchets who brought their chirren.

Mel, Sly, and Jon are green-lighting Hollywood projects for the Trump Regime and any Kamala supporter like TayTay is getting the ixnay now.

I really think some of them only get into acting and music as a stepping stone to building a brand. It's a lot less work and it's crazy insane money.

Movies are failing due to lack of quality original material. No one wants see crazy Tom Cruise in MI: 55 or yet another fucking Marvel movie.

Always the soothsayer, Orson Welles pronounced this back in 1972.

"You know, in the 19th century, you had opera singers who were more famous than kings or presidents. And the cinema star, in a sense, had that kind of importance in the 1930s and 1940s. But that's gone. The movie star is no longer what they once were. It’s a different business now. In a way, it’s a new era where business and commerce have eclipsed the artist."

"The age of the Hollywood star is gone. It’s been replaced by the age of the rock star. In a sense, rock stars are the last of the great icons... But the movie star, as a phenomenon, is finished. You may have a couple of people who transcend it—like Paul Newman—but essentially the old way is gone. The ‘A-list’ is gone. The business is now run by people who have nothing to do with the entertainment. They’re really businessmen, who are interested in the money and nothing else."
