Re: Shit you wish your favourite medium didn't do

[(Anonymous)]

This. It's not until I started watching more tv from outside the US that I realized just how homogeneous people look on US television. It's not just that shows are predominantly white (though they often are), it's that you see the same body type/facial structure over and over again. Women are either tall and skinny or short and skinny, unless they're for comic relief in which case they're permitted to be larger than a size 2. All leading men are tall and square jawed. Very few women who look older than 35, unless they're playing a sassy grandma or something.

Have you noticed how many young male American actors have immobile cheeks? They barely move their lips, and their cheek muscles are sort of frozen place all the freaking time. Same with their foreheads, they've got this constant moody scowl, and they daren't move their eyebrows because apparently their forehead muscles don't work. Is this some sort of strange disabling disease sweeping Hollywood? Does the upcoming generation actually know how to act with their facial expressions at all?

Hm. Could be "real men don't emote," but could also be botox.

Re: Shit you wish your favourite medium didn't do

Yeah, like above anon said. It's hard to say if it's just lack of acting skills or Botox. Acting in the U.S. doesn't seem to involve the face so much, and I'm not sure why. You see amazing talent from the UK, classically trained actors who have a wide range of emotions even without ever seeing their body language. But in the U.S.? Not so much. Which is not to say we don't have ANY good actors, it's just that casting directors prioritize good looks and name recognition over actual skill.
