Ohai, welcome to my rant

Ok. I'm just going to come out with it - I hate improv. Hate with the fire of a billion burning hells. First of all, I have NEVER seen a funny improv. They all come off as uncomfortable, and the actors seem to be emoting "please laugh, we're funny, I swear". And it is pretentious. As if they are implying that it really is funny, and if you don't think so, well then you must just not be intelligent enough to get it. No, I get it. I am there with you, I fully understand what you are trying to do there - I mean it isn't rocket science. You are pretending. Play acting. Shit all of us used to do as children. It was only moderately fun back then, now it is just sad. So stop it. Stop it, just stop it. No, it doesn't mean you are super creative, or overly emotive... it simply means you can think fast on your feet. Congratulations. You can do something that 80% of the population can do. You really are special. Neeto. It also makes you an attention whore. You need people to look at you, you need people to approve. The proof is in the pudding - buddy up to any aspiring "actor" who is doing improv. Watch their shitty performance. Then read the critics negative reviews to them the next day out of the paper. Watch as their ego deflates in front of you. Or they will get angry, cursing the obviously ignorant critic. Or they will somehow manage to reassure themselves that their craft is so refined that average mortals can't possibly grasp the sheer magic that is happening on stage. None of them, not a single one can ever say, "no, they were right, that fucking sucked." In fact. I am going to widen that circle of hate to include actors/actresses in general. There are a few who are still humble and still actual people, but for the most part they can all die in a fire for all I care. What they don't seem to grasp is this simple fact: all actresses and actors on the face of the planet - all that have ever been and all that will ever be are nothing more than court jesters. The village idiot. Set to perform for our amusement. That is what the profession of acting owes it's roots to. Yet they get paid outrageous sums of money for doing what? They walk around with egos larger than the national deficit and constantly think they are above the law of us average people. Oh god - don't get me started on how they should keep their mouths shut and offer nothing to the realm of politics. Because they have money and have been on television and the silver screen, they think they matter. They think their opinions are better than anyone else’s. They think because they drive a fucking prius or electric car they are better than average folk. I guess if you have more money than you have sense, you can afford to spend it on the latest trends that society says you need to be a part of. Still, there are enough corrupt fucking politicians in the world, we CERTAINLY do not need celebrities putting in their worthless two cents. Their fake, worthless two cents. Which is probably made out of silicone... or been touched up to look like two new pennies. Because god forbid the signs of aging are allowed to show... shallow fuckers. GTFO, GFY and die in a fire. thank you, that is all.
