Seems the actors of our generation are dying off and generally the younger ones haven't been making movies of substance. I don't quite know how entertainment translates into violence and horror. How does one get any "feel good" from them? JMHO.
Oh I so agree. Hardly ever go to the movies anymore. They're too violent/crude/stupid/dark/choppy camera work/too close-up, and too star focused instead of character and story focused. Uh oh, I think I just showed that I'm intolerant, old-fashioned, and not fun.
I'm fun, really I am.

Did you ever notice that the really OLD movies have "credits" with the actors' names very large and easily visible???
Whereas the new movies have the credits so tiny that no one can read them. Don't these actors also deserve to have their names seen ?
Sometimes we watch a movie and although the actor looks familiar, one can't even tell who they are............I just go online and look up the movie and read the "cast and crew" online.....
p.s. I know exactly where Lightworker is coming from.
We say the same thing.........and we are big movie buffs.
We have been told by the younger crowd that we are very young at heart....so I don't blame our perceptions on our age.........it's just a fact of life nowadays, with regard to the movies. They have to try harder and harder to shock and excite people..........or so they think. Everything is special effects now.
