Oh boy, "Girls."

So I'm flipping through the Entertainment Weekly TV Fall Preview issue. In the writeup on the new, Sherman-Palladinoless season of Gilmore Girls, they describe Lauren Graham deleting lines and generally being more "collaborative" and "a more active participant in the process" than was apparently the norm in the past.

Well, great. Graham is a talented, commanding, sexy and funny actress...but I have yet to read a single interview with her that suggests she should be getting anywhere near that creative process.

But then, most actors shouldn't. Occasionally you find one who's capable of looking at "the big picture," but they're rare as un-plastic surgery-ed faces in Hollywood. For the most part, actors creative decisions are based on who they like (I want to make out with him, not him!) or what they think will make people like them (this won't make me look unsympathetic, will it?)
