Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned  

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

The people who seem to be most capable of opening a movie separate from their franchise - or making a franchise of their own, would be Hanks and Cruise.

And Julia Roberts has famously been the only female star in Hollywood for a while now.

It really is a very short list.

I repeat, Carrey.

Yeah, Carrey is on the list, too.

It really is a very short list.

So Chris Rock is right: four stars.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Bruce Willis and Arnie used to be there.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

It's a little depressing, isn't it? Someone wake me when the only 4 real stars in Hollywood aren't 4 people who 9 times out of 10 make me run screaming from the theatre.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Poor Meg.

Meg has the Mary Pickford problem: people loved her for being cute and sweet and eventually she got tired of being cute and sweet but it was too late.

Could that sentence *be* worse without having "teh" and "OMG" in it?

Plus she joined the ranks of the Hideous Creatures That Came From Beverly Hills.

But top grossing stars are often not great actors or even in great movies. I mean, who has classic film fest of the movies of Tyrone Power?

I think that between Samuel L. Jackson, Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks, Eddie Murphy, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, James Earl Jones, Mel Gibson, Jim Cummings, and Gene Hackman there are hours, if not days, of viewing fun.
