> But a lot of the exhaustion with Hollywood is simply that the faces of Hollywood - celebrity actors - just seem really self aggrandizing. The award shows. The unwelcome public stances on random topics. The ostentatious displays of wealth (fancy cars, mansions in exotic places, etc). The worship of celebrity that is practiced through glowing magazine interviews, coverage of personal issues (like divorces), and merchandising.
None of that is new though, and none of it has been exhausting before. So I’m not sure what would have changed.
Also to be clear, the the displays of wealth, the endless gossip about divorces etc… people like that stuff. It’s why magazines publish it.
