Topic: Are the "anointed" generation of actors, - Ryan Gosling, Shia, Emile, etc - as good as their predecessors - Johnny, Leo, Damon?
This weeks Great Debators: David Flatter and Matt Dowell!!
Take 1 - David Flatter
First off, I don't really think the Brad Pitts and George Clooneys of the 2020's let's say, have been necessarily been unearthed yet. My arguments will not be directly related to the mentioned examples. Let's face it, the Pitt/Clooney/Leo era is FAR from over. Those fools are shitting out 100%s left and right (well maybe not Leo lately). So I think these current "big hitters" are in their prime as we speak so we can't really compare yet to some of the youngin's like Shia.
Do movies of today seem like they have gone completely in the shitter? Well yes. I feel that realistically there always have been and always will be immense piles of steaming crap in the upwards of 98% of all movies and music made in human existence. There must be shitty films to make the greats seem all the better. The more the crap, the more magical experiencing a timeless movie is. The great movies of the 80s and 90s seem so much better now because we have forgotten the pieces of shits in those era's and remember the good ones.
I feel that the incumbents will be better than their predecessors because they will learn from the past and have more reference to call on in their work. People say the human race is getting dumber and dumber but studies prove this is false. The human race's IQ is rising across the board. So the younger generations will be wiser and therefore more masterful of their craft (theoretically).
Plus throw in the fact that young actors will grow up with virtually every movie in existence immediately downloadable over the web. So I feel younger actors have an advantage in that regard. Clooney was rocking AOL 2.0 25kbps at age 30.
Take 2 - Matt Dowell
Please allow me to borrow a refrain I hear quite often on the LightRail: "Awwwwwwwwww to the hellll nawwwwwww." Are you serious on this one man--like, really serious?? Comparing Gosling, Shia, and Emile to Johnny, Leo, and Damon...come on now man that doesn't even make sense....And just who in the hell is this Emile character?? Is she hot?Im not familiar with her work.
Look man I don't really want to burst your bubble here---but with the exception of porn, movies are going to the crapper quicker then you after Ernesto's. Look no further then the best film of the 20th century--Can't Buy Me Love--and it's 21st century equivalent: Love Don't Cost a Thing....I mean come the heck on now man an Escalade...an Escalade!...you have got to be kidding me...absolutely kidding me! Shit man Ronnie Miller wasn't worried about no damn Escalade's man...nope, all Ronnie wanted was to hop off in Cindy Mancini's Cabriolet and ride off into the sweet fast line that is popularity.....Nick Cannon!
Nick Cannon?? Man this whole shit with him and Mariah is fisey'r then the smell in a first generation Asian persons house...Does anybody buy this?/ anybody?? And I hate her how she always has to have her dumb finger all extended all hecka dumb showing off her engagement ring...yeah, yeah--we get it we get it okay......Doesn't that shit piss you off when you're like at the mall or something and some broad has just gotten engaged so she keeps like brushing her hair with her ring hand or handing you your gift receipt with her ring hand facing up so you'll comment on the ring?? Man I hate that--hate hate hate that...All the sudden now I'm recommending you food caterers and rehearsal halls when really all I wanted to do was exchange a shirt because I got nervous and thought I saw Kevin Ericson wearing something similar.
Ehhhhhh So yeah, basically until Shia, Gosling or Emile sign on with bangbros I am not going to be watching their films. And Emile especially should sign with them, she sounds kinky. I gotta go google image search her. TTYL
