tome and katie...the truth

Current mood: contemplative

haha arright.... going off of my new no tabloid no media no celebrity (basically the NO campaign)... here's what i've got to say about tom and katie. i have the truth believe it or not.

the thing is...whatever the "truth" is...i dont care and neither should you. HOWEVER... let me give you some REAL insight into what it is.

so basically the both of them have their movies coming out. well, judging from how katie's basically kind of new and tom hasn't had any REALLY great hits these past few years, now they are getting desperate for a hit. Ok, so they might not be desperate, but why wouldnt you want a blockbuster hit anyway right? So, now, they need to attract your attention. The thing is, they go on these talk shows and magazine interviews really just to promote their movies. But if they are going to be on Oprah, or Regis and Kelly, or whatever, you (the viewers, the people that pay to go watch these movies) probably won't want to watch the show or read the magazine if you knew the actors would just be promoting their movies. i mean, how boring right? So, believe it or not, this is why they create their love affairs. Now, because we have been trained by the media to care so much about celebrities personal lives, now whenever katie or tom are on a show, we want to watch JUST because we want to know whats going on between the two of them. not becasue we care about their movies. BUT. they (tom and katie) could care less what you know about them. what they really want is for you to watch their movie. so when you tune in to find out what you can, you end up finding out nothing about if they have made out yet, but you find out what the movie is about. and whether the movie seems interesting or not, you have now been hypnotized into wanting to watch the movie, just because of the media, tabloid, star's conniving and scheming, HYPE! Sadly, this takes away from whether a movie is really good or not, which is the main thing that bothers me.

for example

mr. and mrs. smith is currently the number one movie in america. So, thats supposed to mean its actually a GOOD movie right? Well, i can probably promise that it being a good movie is the last reason its the number one movie in america. its the number one movie in america because we have been so tricked into caring about this angelina-brad-jennifer DRAMA that now people want to see the movie just because of all the hype. and you know what, you're letting the celebrities and bad movies win.

so stop

we can win this

movie making is an art

help it stay that way.

we dont need actors and their fake dramas. we only want the drama on screen and no where else.

talk to me.
