An article by john nolte from bighollywood about why movie stars are in decline. Interesting take on the problem, especially with the increase in interesting and edgy t.v. shows.

From the article:
Films aimed at teens will never change. Vampires, superheroes, lame musicals, horror films, teen romance, bawdy comedies, etc. This is not a hard nut to crack and that formula has been around since my generation went to high school. So, as we see, the movie industry is still able to hang on to that crowd. What I have seen change over the past decade are films aimed at those of us over 18 and this change has been a suicidal one for any industry interested in making a profit.
