Not going in-freaking-sane, trapped in a dark house with no music, no TV, no internet, no light to read or draw by.
Yikes. Although I've learned to keep at least one small radio with batteries in the house after our long power outtage over Christmas. It helps a little bit.
Seems like along with actress fungibility goes the need to have younger actresses against older leading men
True, and the dearth of roles for women the age of Angela Bassett is hardly a new thing.
But these women are YOUNG. Like best known for being teens young. Either in reality, or as their last roles. If he was aiming ten years younger, I'd call it sadly typical. But Scarlett and Lindsey are closer to twenty years his juniour.
More than twenty, even. Ick.
Which means not born yet when Cruise started making movies. Weird.
Isn't Lindsey Lohan still playing high school, mostly? Ew.
I can see slightly older actors playing high school-age roles. Real high-school age people are covered by child labor laws, and college-age people aren't.
OTOH, if you can walk into a bar without being carded, it's really time to graduate to older characters.
FWIW, IMDb reports Lohan as 18.
Isn't Lindsey Lohan still playing high school, mostly? Ew.
That was my reaction. Her next movie is Herbie: Fully Loaded, or something like that. Yuck.
So if she's 18 and can walk into a bar without being carded, what does that mean?
