It trips me out when I’m browsing movies to watch, and I see actors that use to be considered like ‘it’ back in the day.
I don’t think young people even know who Deneese Richard’s is. Or, remember when Charlie Shean went fucking nuts with the whole ‘winning’ shit ?
Or, Hailey Joel Osman. Remember him? He was in A.I., The Sixth Sense, I mean fuck.
He was a super popular and REALLY GOOD child actor.
It seemed like all the really big directors like Spielberg used him for their films. Big block buster movies. I don’t think there is one shitty movie he was in. They were all big and with really famous actors.
There’s so many new actors and actresses now. Idk to me, they are not iconic at all and movies aren’t the same anymore either.
Just crazy how like they aren’t relevant anymore
It seems like there really aren’t superstars anymore. Women Aren’t allowed to be sexy and men aren’t allowed to be competent, and so there isn’t really anything that inspires people.
The closest thing we get is Hollywood dragging creepy old memories out of the closet to go “look! It’s the person you like! They’re back!” But then completely emasculating the men and masculinizing the women such that nobody cares if they’re back.
Maybe that is the case- they keep trying to present us with new people to take over, but they tend to not stick.
This may be, in part, because of the longevity of figures like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, just holding on to those key roles in films forever. Same with WIll Smith - for crying out loud, that guy got his big break on some TV show 30 years ago.
That’s so true. I mean like any popular celebrities especially like with music like whatever the fuck is popular right now like I have no idea who those people are like if I saw him on the street and somebody was like oh my gosh a celebrity I’d be like I don’t care LOL
Well fuckin said. Didn’t think about this, but it makes total Sense. Yeah, I don’t even really care about movies much Anymore
They want to erase things that inspire us so we might forget that we can feel that way.
Let me tell you a story. Around 1916, in Halifax harbor, a munitions ship caught on fire. Everyone started to evacuate. The local telegraph operator began to evacuate, but turned back realizing that there were several trains on their way. He knew he was going to die. His last message was “Hold up the train. Ammunition ship afire in harbor making for Pier 6 and will explode. Guess this will be my last message. Good-bye boys.”
You know, that wasn’t a movie. That actually happened, and his sacrifice saved 300 innocent people on one of the overnight trains that was headed for Halifax. And maybe you’re different than me, but I find that story inspiring. No wonder they don’t bother telling us stories like that anymore.
Agree 💯 great evaluation. It’s kinda sad too you know ?
Definitely. It’s almost time to reject mass media given that they refuse to produce anything of value. (Actually, most people already have. Many YouTubers are more famous than most movie stars)
Right? Isn’t that fucking wild?! They get paid millions for dumb shit while actors actually act
Just goes to show you how broken the entertainment industry is right now.
I don’t think it has to be either. Look at the Japanese entertainment industry, every season they’re coming out with dozens of new series that get people excited, but you can tell that they’re actually focused on creating stories and telling them.
I agree I think they’re morals and their priorities just aren’t in the right place you know that Fame and Fortune shit gets to their fucking head
Jonathan Taylor thomas be looking like a reddit mod these days
Forgot about that guy dam lol
Denise Richards and Nev Campbell in Wild Things were so hot.
They were lol
Hailey Joel Osman
That’s just wild - haven’t seen him in a minute, and I think the last time that name was spoken aloud to me, it was twenty years ago, lol.
He was, indeed, a good child actor.
I hope he is enjoying life.
Looks like it.
I remember, as a boy, hearing my parents, grandparents, etc., talk about the news that someone passed away and always feeling like Who are these people? but now I am entering that zone.
Someone pointed out to me 10 years ago that when we are thinking of a famous singer off the top of our head, we often go, “Uh, Britney Spears,” or “Justin Timberlake,” but this is the equivalent of people saying “Cher” and “Sting” when naming pop stars when we were kids.
Thanks for the photos. Wild isn’t it? You are spit on. I remember my mom doing that a lot. She’d be like oh no so and so died.
And im like who the fuck is that? I never heard of them.
Just crazy, you’d never think that time would go by that fast
Child actor passage to adulthood is usually pretty rough. HJO didn’t age well at all and I think he has a few mugshots. Frankie Muniz is now doing hair club spots: https://twitter.com/frankiemuniz/status/1727787445364854864
Yea you are right that’s true. WTF is hair club? Wow it’s so weird looking at this. So he sells hair products now ? …
Yeah it’s for baldness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQPIefD_aPg
Man. What happened lol shit is weird kinda sad a Lil bit too
A lot of the kids get abused but even the ones who don’t get way too famous at an early age and then suddenly nobody cares who you are.
Also the kids who seek out stardom (as opposed to the ones whose parents force them) are probably a bit fucked up to begin with. I just remembered the kid from two and a half men ended up in a cult for a while.
Fuck. I know and it’s awful man
