Are you tired of seeing pretty people in movies?

[Falaskan]

I would definitely say that in the past couple decades, actors and actresses have been getting prettier, like they're hired for the looks first and acting talent second, or not at all. Does this bother you?

Take for example the Superman and Star Wars franchises. In the upcoming Superman movie, we have Amy Adams as Lois Lane. In the original, Margot Kidder... To be fair Amy Adams has a lot of class, imo, but if you're judging just based on looks, Kidder looks like quite homely. In the PT Star Wars Trilogy we have Natalie Portman. In the OT, Carrie Fischer, and yes she looks fine in Return of the Jedi but she tried pretty hard, so did Kidder, to look that good. Not that I'm devaluing them, but I don't think those woman would've got the roles today.

Today we have actors like Hayden Christensen, Kristen Stewart, and the like, and that is the downside of picking pretty actors. Sure it's possible to find someone both ridiculously good looking and ridiculously talented, but it's very shallow and I guess I'm a bit tired of it.

On the other hand, if director's started picking average looking actors for their movies, I don't think the public would react well. Do you?
