You can’t take two steps in Hollywood without stepping into one nowadays. And no that implied poop analogy was not by accident. Most of them are crap, is what I’m saying. And now the latest to …

When one actor gets picked to play the same type of role over and over again, people often gripe about it, and then when said actor eventually tries to break out into a different type of role, people often gripe even louder about that.
