What happened to the great actors?


We are watching this crap that is not very substantive. What happened to the Steve McQueen kind of actors and roles? Sure, we can adapt to new generation, however those movies from the day were much, much better. Does anyone agree with me or do you like the direction Hollywood is going?

There are still great actors working. Christian Bale, DiCaprio, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster, Julianne Moore, and Jennifer Jason Leigh (my favorite).

I'll admit, there are some real stinkers though.

LoL I saw this high on the list on XFinity.com and thought, 'Is that Teller and Woodley in the same film? Uggh.' Then to top it off it has Jennifer Jason Leigh in it, who I never could stand either. I wish there was a way of filtering out films from lists like on Netflix etc. based on actors/actresses you don't want to see.
