WHAT IS IT WITH THESE FILM STARS??

NOW  WE  LEARN  ZAC  EFRON  -  CHILD  FILM  STAR  AND  BABY-FACE  LOOKS,  HAD  BEEN  IN  REHAB  FOR  COCAINE  AND  ESTACY  USE.

SOME  OF  THESE  FOLK  HAVE  ALREADY  KILLED  THEMSELVES  WITH  DRUGS.

THEY  HAVE  FAME,  MONEY,  FANS,  BUT  IT  SEEMS  THEY  HAVE  NO  COMMON  SENSE,  SELF-CONTROL.

SOME  OF  THEM  START  FAME  IN  THEIR  YOUNG  AGE,  BUT  FEW  IT  SEEMS  TODAY  CAN  TURN  OUT  TO  BE  A  SHIRLEY  TEMPLE ...... MICKEY  ROONEY..... ROY  ROGERS,  MOST  SEEM  TO  END  UP  AS  MENTAL  NUT  CASES,  BLOWN  OUT  MINDS  FROM  "PARTYING"  AND  WILD  STRANGE  BEHAVIOR...... LIKE  MILEY  CYRUS,  WHO  SEEMS  TO  LIKE  TO  BE  LIKE  IN  A  "FREAK"  CIRCUS.

OH  I  GUESS  IT'S  NOW  SOMETHING  NEW,  THESE  "BLOWN  OUT"  MIND  STARS.... WE  HAD  ONES  IN  THE  PAST  LIKE  JULY  GARLAND  WHO  DRANK  HERSELF  TO  DEATH.

WELL  AT  LEAST  ZAC  EFRON  HAD  ENOUGH  SENSE  TO  GO  INTO  REHAB;  YOU  CAN  ONLY  HOPE  IS  HAS  WORKED  FOR  HIM,  AND  HE'LL  STAY  AWAY  FROM  THE  DRUGS.  IF  HE  CAN,  THEN  HE  CAN  YET  BECOME  A  ROLE  MODEL  FOR  OTHER  WOULD  BE  RISING  FILM  STARS  OR  ENTERTAINERS.

I  WAS  STRUCK  WITH  A  COMMENT  BY  MATTHEW  McCONAUGHEY   [WHO  WON  BEST  ACTOR  OSCAR]  AT  THE  2014  OSCAR  AWARDS.  HE  SAID  TO  THE  HOLLYWOOD  GROUP  WHILE  HOLDING  HIS  OSCAR,  "ONE  I  LOOK  UP  TO......GOD  ABOVE....."  HE  WAS  SERIOUS.  I  THINK  IT  KINDA  STUNNED  THE  HOLLYWOOD  FOLK.  GOOD  FOR  MATTHEW.  NOW  JUST  MAKE  SURE  YOU  DON'T  ACT  PARTS  THAT  GOD  WOULD  NOT  APPROVE  OF.

WHEN  ROY  ROGERS  [FOR  YOU  YOUNGER  ONES  WHO  DON'T  KNOW  WHO  ROY  ROGERS  WAS....LOOK  HIM  UP  ON  THE  INTERNET]  HAD  BECOME  FAMOUS,  ESPECIALLY  WITH  THE  KIDS,  HE  WAS  TOLD  TO  PLAY  A  "DRUNK"  IN  ONE  SCENE  IN  A  MOVIE.  HE  REFUSED  TO  DO  SO.  HE  SAID  IT  WOULD  NOT  LOOK  GOOD  FOR  THE  KIDS  WHO  LOOKED  TO  HIM  AS  A  ROLE  MODEL.  REPUBLIC  PICTURES  WANTED  TO  INSIST..... ROY  WALK  OFF  THE  SET  AND  REFUSED  TO  RETURN.  REPUBLIC  PICTURES  FINALLY  BACKED  DOWN.

I  USED  TO  LOVE  KATHERINE  ZETA  JONES  IN  HER  MOVIES.  SHE  MARRIED  AND  HAD  SOME  CHILDREN,  RETIRED  FROM  THE  FILM  WORLD  FOR  SOME  YEARS.  IN  THE  LAST  2  OR  3  YEARS  SHE  CAME  BACK........MY  OH  MY  WHAT  HORRIBLE  BIT  PARTS,  PLAYING  SEDUCTIVE  WOMEN,  REAL  TRASHY  PARTS.  I  THOUGHT,  SURELY  YOU  HAVE  ENOUGH  MONEY  BY  NOW;  WHY  BOTHER  COMING  BACK  INTO  MOVIES  IF  THAT  IS  THE  KIND  OF  TRASH  PARTS  YOU  ARE  OFFERED  OR  WANT  TO  PLAY.

WELL  I  GUESS  THE  "MOVIE  WORLD"  IS  LIKE  ANY  OTHER  SKILL  LIKE  BANKERS,  INVESTMENT  PEOPLE,  POLITICIANS,  SPORTS  PEOPLE  ETC.  YOU  ARE  GOING  TO  HAVE  "TRASHY"  LIVING  PEOPLE  AMONG  THEM.

SO  SHOULD  NOT  BE  SURPRISED  I  GUESS  THAT  MANY  "FILM  STARS"  ARE  FAR FROM  BEING  GOOD  ROLE  MODELS  FOR  THE  YOUNG  ONES  AND  TEENS.

HENCE  FOR  CHRISTIAN  PARENTS  YOU  NEED  TO  GUIDE  YOUR  CHILDREN  SO  THEY  FOLLOW  GOOD  ROLE  MODELS.

I  WAS  BLESSED  IN  HAVING  ROY  ROGERS  AND  SLIM  WHITMAN  AS  MY  NUMBER  ONE  ENTERTAINERS  I  LOOKED  UP  TO  AS  MY  HEROS  AS  A  KID.  I  FOUND  OUT  IN  MY  TEENAGE  YEARS  THEY  WERE  BOTH  SINCERE  CHRISTIANS.
IT  WAS  INDEED  NICE  TO  KNOW  MY  HEROS  WERE  GOOD  LIVING  GUYS  WHO  HELD  CHRISTIAN  PRINCIPLES  AND  WERE  REGULAR  CHURCH  ATTENDERS.


WELL  HOLLYWOOD  GOT  IT  RIGHT IN  2014...... FOR  BEST  PICTURE.  "12  YEARS  A  SLAVE"  WAS  INDEED  HEAD-AND-SHOULDERS  ABOVE  ANY  OTHER  MOVIE.

CATE  BLANCHETT  IS  INDEED  A  WONDERFUL  ACTOR,  SO  NOT  SURPRISED  SHE  WON  FEMALE  ACTOR  OF  THE  YEAR.  BUT....  THE  MOVIE  "BLUE  JASMINE"  WAS  TERRIBLE,  TERRIBLE  AND  MORE  TERRIBLE.  WOODY  ALLAN'S  MOVIE  PROVES  HE'S  A  NUT-CASE,  A  WEIRD  MINDED  MAN.

YES,  THINKING  IT  MAY  BE  GOOD  WITH  CATE  IN  IT  I  WENT  TO  SEE  IT  AND  STRUGGLED  REALY  HARD  TO  NOT  WALK  OUT.

IT  IS  ALL  ABOUT  DYSFUNCTIONAL  PEOPLE.  HANG-UPS,  PROBLEMS,  MOANING,  GROANING,  COMPLAINING,  FIGHTING  EACH  OTHER.  JUST  TWO  HOURS  OF  WATCHING  FAMILY  DYSFUNCTIONAL  PEOPLE.  A  REAL  DEPRESSING  MOVIE.  CATE  IS  THIS  ALL  MIXED  UP  PERSON,  WHO  STAYS  MIXED  UP.

HOW'S  THIS  FOR  THE  LAST  TWO  MINUTES  OF  THE  MOVIE:  CATE  LEAVES  THE  ARGUING  INSIDE  THE  HOUSE,  GOES  TO  A  BENCH  OUTSIDE,  WHERE  ONE  MIDDLE  AGED  WOMAN  IS  READING  A  NEW  PAPER.  CATE  SITS  DOWN  AND  IS  TALKING  TO  HERSELF,  THE  OTHER  LADY  LOOKS  WITH  THIS  EXPRESSION  OF  "THIS  LADY  IS  NUTS"  AND  PICKS  HERSELF  UP  AND  MOVES  AWAY.

YES  THAT  IS  HOW  THIS  CRAZY,  DEPRESSING  MOVIE  ENDS.

IS  WOODY  ALLAN  TELLING  US  SOMETHING?  THAT  HE  IS  A  MIXED  UP  DEPRESSED  MAN  HIMSELF?

DO  NOT  THROW  AWAY  A  DIME  ON  SEEING  THIS  MOVIE,  UNLESS  YOU  LIKE  A  TWO  HOUR  DEPRESSION.
