One of the few angry letters I've written to publications was in response to a Details article a few years back about "Whither the Hollywood Bad Boy?" where they basically demanded that actors behaving badly was "cool" and merited the same coverage as Lindsay/Paris/etc's antics. I felt compelled to explain that assholery isn't granted some magical coolness pass just because one has a penis. Meanwhile -- hey, Hollywood, check out your box office charts of late. True Grit, The King's Speech and Black Swan are all in the Top Ten and will all likely gross $100+ million despite not having 3D explosions or playing in a bazillion theatres. This goes to show that folks still want to see decent movies made for adults and not ADD-riddled teenage boys. Think about that the next time before passing on a compelling drama in exchange for greenlighting Big Momma's House 3. As to actors behaving badly being reported by entertainment media: when people stop consuming this type of reporting . . . 3d movies: when the merchandising fails to generate income is when you will see this type of movie go away.

Dear Hollywood,
Please stop putting twenty year olds in roles that belong to those in their forties. STOP making every single actress dye their hair blonde, it doesn't work. Please stop pushing more sequels on the public. Please stop treating George Clooney like he's about to become a REAL ambassador.

Dear Hollywood:
No more 50-70 year old men with barely legal love interests. No more magical negroes. No more paint by numbers ensemble romantic comedies. Hire some real writers, stop green-lighting Jennifer Aniston movies, and for the love of all that is holy, stop trying to find the sequel, prequel, or trilogy that will be the next LoTR or Harry Potter. Your naked greed is showing.
No love, Babycakes

Dear Hollywood,
When an etnertainer commits a crime, for once, do a glowing feature on how thier VICTIM has recovered, not how the PERPETRATOR has reocvered. Fame does not mean that an entertainer is 'strong' because they managed to spend half a month in jail.
Established actresses, because they do a lot of humanitarian work, are not diplomatic material. They are not smart, just media savvy. Start pointing out to these entertainers that when they are plugging a movie, to TALK about the movie.

I'm baffled by the worship of the Clooney as if he's some real authority on...anything.

Dear Hollywood: Why on earth do you think remaking Dallas would be a good idea? Isn't the original enough for you?

Dear Hollywood:
Now that I know what a Bieber is, make it go the hell away. It's not a phenom. It's not even that interesting. It's just annoying.
Thanks for nothing,
YNH

If you add the words "Kardassian" and "Jersey Shore" to the above, I'll co-sign.
