My observations are that tv watching habits are different now to the way I remember.
Broadcast TV is dying. People over 40 still watch TV out of habit. People under 40 use it less and less, or not at all.
The internet is so much more flexible and efficient than broadcasting through the air. Instead of a one-way signal going out to everyone at the same time, people can request a specific show whenever they want. That means a lot of the shows defined by the old broadcasting technology will die out. Cheap filler shows like reality TV, morning shows, infomercials and clip shows will have no audience in a world where people can watch their favourite primetime shows on their own schedule.
I can't watch commerical broadcast TV in real time anymore. The ads are insane. It's like being asked to do school homework again. I'd rather download something or buy a disc copy than sit through ads.
In wealthy countries I'm guessing broadcast TV will be shut off within 15 years in major cities, maybe longer for regional areas. Once people have internet fast enough to stream video, there's no reason to put up with the inflexibility of broacasts.
I love the stories of Frankenstein,Dracula and Dorian Gray but found them a challenge to read and gave up on all three.I've watched many versions of Dracula,theGeoffrey Robertson's: closing the gap: hypothetical program 2009

2. Try reading the books from scratch. If and when one of the books becomes unreadable for me, try the next one in the series until I reach Queen of the Damned.
3. Destroy the government.
4. Retire to the Maldives.A couple I know are getting married

Brad Pitt was pretty much an unknown with Dunst. Legends of the Fall was the movie that was his breakout.
Yes, but LOTF was released seven weeks after IWTV, although LOTF was re-released on January 1995. So, which of those two films did Pitt film first? -

I can definitely understand where you're coming from. There were times in the film where Pitt was pretty damn bad.
BUT, he was also pretty good. In certain parts. It's hard to think of the Louis character now without seeing Brad Pitt.
The books do describe him as "The Beautiful One", so there's that, with regards to casting a "beautiful" actor. shrug I don't know, maybe I'm just talking outta my ass.
P.S. I couldn't help but laugh when you described his performance as a High School Play starring the 'Captain of the football team'. That was pretty funny. I can see why you thought that."I learned that in prison, you like? You white trash piece-a sht."
