Actors wouldn't be actors if they didn't care about the artform they were producing. Most of them go crazy not when they land the blockbuster, but when they land the small artsy film that really lets them show their true colors. I bet Johnny Depp's favorite movie to make wasn't Pirates, it was probably Fear and Loathing, or Blow, or something like that.
I think too some people have this image of a sweet little girl who has no clue about the way of the world being bullied into this by some money-hungry parents, and I don't see that at all. I lost my virginity at 12, so I can tell you from experience there are a lot of preteens out there that have a shockingly good idea of what it takes in order to be with another person. I have a feeling she knows EXACTLY what she was getting herself into, hell I was 7 when I developed my most rudimentary concepts of sex.
And not all movies are about entertainment. Watch Schindler's List and tell me you're entertained. Tell me you enjoy it. I hate that movie, it makes me feel sick to my stomach and whenever I see it, and I can't sleep that night. It's not entertaining in the slightest, yet its the best movie ever made.
Moooo
