Weird Al !!!

I don't know... when you have done 5 movies as one character, and that was from when you were what 10 years old onwards ? the world sees you as that character forever.
Daniel Radcliffe is always going to be Harry Potter (and he is worth $US110 million, so ... he should go retire on a yacht somewhere)

I hear people saying stars put bums on seats, but is that true ?
I have seen all of Tom Hanks early movies, but he, like Tom Cruise, became wearisome by his c o n s t a n t appearances.

325 million people in the USA and they have to use the same old people all the time ?

At least with the French film makers they use fat, ugly, everyday men like me and Gérard Depardieu sometimes ... I even once saw a Spanish movie where the leading lady wasn't absolutely, drop dead gorgeous.

Am I the only one that shuns big name movies and instead seeks out the foreign and independent ones where not only fresh, far more believable faces appear, but also often unpredictable story lines.

Much as I fell in love/lust with Cameron Diaz in Mask (a love that slowly faded over her next million movies), we all knew how every Charlie's Angels movie would end ... might as well have watched the Monkees.
