[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 1616673, member: 5834"] It makes plenty of sense if you prefer the "old" way of doing things where acting was considered a profession where a person would earn their place. I'm partial to the "old" way of doing things. I don't like seeing people cast in movies because they are the current "pop" culture thing. I would prefer they were cast because they had some acting training, experience, and a degree of talent. This is especially true of movies I would like to see done well. I think you are taking your current stance just to be contrary to the popular opinion on the thread. You wouldn't know what an elitist attitude was if it hit you on the head. Most people are stating their opinion based on seeing Paris Hilton on T.V. If she were some unknown, this wouldn't be an issue. Plenty of people have seen her face splashed across the media and heard her speak much to their chagrin. If you have some information to the contrary, then why don't you post it. Where has she received her theatrical training? Has she any background in theatre? Does she taking acting seriously or is she doing it because her agent recommended it? Acting is a profession to me, not something to be tried by every person who manages to get a moment of the spotlight. [/QUOTE]
