(No Title)

Theory: Reality programming is a symptom of the death of method acting.

We no longer look for characters in our entertainment.  Our characters are the people themselves.  Just think about Matthew Perry, Ben Stiller, Diane Keaton, etc., etc.  We get the same thing every time.  This is just like what you get out of reality programming.

The only good method-type actor I can think of right now in the younger generation is Matt Damon.  Comparing his performances in Oceans Twelve and Good Will Hunting, I see some good character acting there.
