I didn't say the actors suck.  Some of them are actually very good.  But
the movie industry cranks out whatever they are convinced will sell, not
whet they think is worthwhile or artistic.  Sometimes the two converge,
often not.  But it's just movies, so it's not like it's the end of the
world that someone with far too much money makes even more by making some
trivial, soon-forgotten piece of tripe.  I personally go to the theater to
relax and be entertained, so I rather prefer Dr. No over Dr. Zhivago.
I'll get my cultural experience elsewhere.
