I am getting sick of the lack of grit in modern Hollywood. I mean it's not just here it is in everything and it takes me right out of the story because I can't relate to these people. Not matter what the setting is or how average or poor the characters are supposed to be the leads now always have perfect teeth and hair, wear designer clothes, have a huge house, they are always in perfect shape even if the character is supposed to work 24/7 and do nothing but eat out, and their houses are always perfectly clean and there is never so much as a dirty dish to be seen anywhere. it doesn't matter if the character is shipwreck, a cop in a bad neighborhood, or from a future where the world has fallen apart all of these things hold true.

Maybe I am alone in this but I miss the 70s when movies and tv had realistic grit to them and they cast people who didn't look perfect and they had people leading realistic lifestyles, whatever happened to that. I mean what happened to our heroes being people like Jim Rockford or Marry Taylor Moore, people who had to make do and live in something that resembled the real world and we could relate to. I am sorry this turned into such a long rant but in the past decade or some I am finding it harder and harder to relate to characters or the worlds they live in when it comes to Hollywood movies and TV shows. Am I alone in this?
