Why I'm not going to be watching Leno for a while

Well, i have zero idea how Phillippe comes off in interviews or on talk shows or at a party. I don't know the man and have no interest in his life or in hearing him promote his projects. But I have seen a good sampling of his films.

Yeah, he's a pretty face, and often dull in many movies. But I don't think he's talentless. IMO, he was good in Breach and Flags of Our Fathers, which are his last two major films prior to the one just out, Stop Loss, which I have heard good things about.

So maybe he's getting better with experience.

Guess he just rubs Gemini Cricket the wrong way. Pretty boys sometimes do that to me, too (but in my case, it's usually just envy).

Leonardo DiCaprio is often craptastic, but also has some good performances under his belt. I don't think it's right to dismiss some of these people simply because they are not good in everything or, more likely, because one feels their fame is undeserving and based more on teen-fan sex appeal than talent.
