It does not make sense to worship or even admire people paid millions to pretend to be someone else or to those paid millions to hit, catch or run with a ball. It is all a distraction from "doing" worthwhile things, this awakening has put my priorities back on track. I now actively worship God and acknowledge the people and purpose he has given me in my life.

The founding fathers didn't have Q to tell them to trust the plan. They saw that shit was fucked up and picked up muskets pitchforks and whatever else they could and fought to make things right. NO ONE is going to save us. 3% of the population is all that it took to overthrow the most powerful empire in the world.

I always wondered why movies need actors you’ve seen before? They’re telling a story. Any reasonably good actor can do that. Why does it need to be Tom Cruise or a name you’ve heard before.

Historically only two things were lower than prostitutes - Politicians and actors.
Still true today.

As Max Bialystock says: "Actors aren't people. Have you ever seen them eat?"

Because celebrities are paid for “services”, acting is just pretense.

SOME, few, very good actors, such as Ben Kingsley, can play parts and find and present the character as written, or as actually existed.
Others like Sean Penn. Does not matter the part...it is ALWAYS Sean Penn on the screen.

I think the best actors are mentally deranged. I mean I'm an artist (music) and I think if i hadn't had such a screwed up childhood I would be relatively "normal" and probably wouldn't feel compelled to express emotion abstractly. Art is psyche. And back to actors, only the greatest ones, they've got to be crazy. Daniel day Lewis comes to mind, I've heard he completely loses his real identity when he's working on a movie. Meryl steep has to be a textbook psychopath. I don't think she does method acting, which is terrifying, because it means she actually is just that good at faking it.. Like a psychopath

It's a post modern thing. Modern narratives are only partly about story and a lot about self reference to the medium of film itself. Actors carry the weight and pull of their familiarity into their roles as a subconscious hook to the audience to feel like they're participating in a bigger adventure than just the movie's plotline itself, i.e. the actor's career trajectory.
Pretty self absorbed art, ain't it?
