Why does each and every person who reviews Blurays on YouTube…why does each and every reviewer look so dependably nerdy, dweeby, bearish? And, in more case than not, chubby?
In any format or on any platform critics, reviewers and columnists have never been movie-star attractive, of course, but why do they all look exactly the same these days?
I’m obviously not talking about knowledgability or perception. I’m asking why in the entire universe of Bluray-reviewing…why is there not even one who looks like, say, the 1950s-era Henry Fonda? Or the young Mickey Rourke? Or the youngish Gene Siskel? Or Lee van Cleef or Strother Martin even?
If you’re just reading a review, nobody cares what you look like. But when your schpieling is on YouTube, there ought to be something appealing if not arresting about your visual presentation. Imagine if George Clooney were to launch a Bluray-reviewing YouTube channel….imagine! Or if Bill Murray were to give it a go.
