Rant - Old People Can't Act!

Elderly People Make The Worst Actors!

No one wants to say it out loud, but let’s face it – old people can’t act! Candy-coated audio-animatronic cyborg freaks!


Example #1
Stephen Spielberg – tons of money at his disposal to make “Saving Private Ryan”.
“Tell me I was a good man!” Jesus Christo, shut that old man up! Matt Damon did NOT survive WWII to turn into such a wuss! His quivering wife is about as believable as a Hallmark grandparent’s day TV Ad.

Example #2
(cringing before I even type!) The last 10 minutes of “A League of Their Own”. AAAAaaaggghhh!!!!

Example #3
Coccoon” – And they made sequels!

Example # 4
Peter Parker’s grandma in “Spiderman 1 & 2” Is everything really that glorious?


Example #5
Any TV commercial with an old person in it.
"I'm a little rascal on my little rascal!"
"Help, I've fallen and I can't get up"
"Now I can e-mail my grandchildren with Microsoft WebTV2"
"Try new extra strength Polydent!"

Oh heavens Margie, I can't bear to think about it anymore!
