What is it with Hollywood these days? It's not enough that they've got to churn out sequels, prequels and remakes on an epic level but now they're doing it with people who should by all rights be somewhere warm - I hear Florida is where the elderly are sent to be neglected in the Americas. First Rocky Balboa - where the already incomprehensible Sly Stallone pushed himself to be even more unintelligble and has his character take a break from drawing a pension to go off and almost beat the world heavy weight championship... pretty realistic stuff.

Now, we have Bruce Willis - also taking a break from drawing his pension - looking to save Washington D.C. Is this supposed to be some kind of empowerment for OAPs? Or is it just that there was some deal signed that said that these people had to be included in any further films and get their requisite X million dollars? By the time Arnold makes Terminator 4, he really might have to have parts of his body replaced with a metal endoskeleton... mainly his cybernetic hips and walking aid! And LORDY, can you imagine what Harrison Ford is going to look like by the time George Fatass and Spielberg get around to making Indiana Jones 4: Indiana Meets The Ewoks? He's probably going to make the dessicated Nazis the films favour look practically youthful.

Naturally, this won't be happening for any women. Once a woman in Hollywood gets past the stage of being forty for about ten or so years, her career is over. Mainly because Dame Judie Dench has got pretty much all the old woman roles sewn up - especially if they're English. I suspect that this is because after a while, their looks can't be sustained with anything but full body immersion in botox... and for the vast majority of Hollywood actresses, once their looks go, they aren't even a one trick pony.
