The Golden Era is Closing Slowly

I used to think that only old actors/actresses passed away and young ones lived forever. What kid's never thought of that? It was normal to believe in immortality. With some of the recent celebrity passings it's a whole new ball-game. We all thought Farrah would beat her cancer because she was all into her treatments and wouldn't take no for an answer, nature thought otherwise. Michael Jackson was only 50. There was a time where 50 was considered advanced age, now your just getting started on the second half of life. Karl Malden, who passed today was 97(good for him) and led a good normal life. Hollywood is changing as well. The days of starlets with diamond tiaras, pearl jewelry, and heirloom rings and necklaces has ended. Today we have body tattoos and piercings on the newest of Hollywood's junior elite. The days of class and protocol are gone and the era of CGI is here for a while. Talk about using a stunt double, this is a stunt electronic double. I guess it's a way of controlling expenses and eliminating on set injuries. I do have to say one thing about this crop of new actors, they don't seem to shy away from doing their own stunts, when CGI can't do it for them that is. Goodbye to the last acting generation and hello to the new, please don't make garbage movies that go straight to video!
