Americans

Once again I re-state what is symbolic of what is wrong with the American view of life (and even worse the Canadian because we do this crap as well). I am reminded of this as the Star Wars final prequel is out and making buckets of money.

In England, France and Italy, they judge a movie by whether it's any good as a movie. In Amurka, it is judged by how much money it makes. If this isn't dumb enough, they don't even adjust for inflation. It costs, what - $10 U.S. to see a movie - what did it cost to see Gone With The Wind or The Wizard of Oz - a nickel? a dime??

Another thought and I am paraphrasing someone else's words (I don't remember who). In England they take people who can act, and give them acting jobs. In America they take pretty people and try and teach them how to act. Canada follows the US lead on this. In fact, we export our pretties to Hollywood.
