-It is all these sequels, see- Natalie, are you even listening? All these sequels and long-running franchises, huge tentpole productions with enormous production budgets. All it does is feed into the fame of those stars who are already established. It doesn't give a chance to any new entrants, really authentic and talented younger performers. Artists like me! They should really just let those old films die! And also, I think it is because I am just too attractive. Look, Natalie, look at this- (Annabel swipes at her phone) someone made this chart that analyses cinema releases and proves how sex in all these mainstream film productions has declined. Sex just doesn't cross borders well, foreign markets are really conservative, the demographic wants different things. Hence all the big budget tentpole sequel films with the endless explosions and mindless computer generated graphics, instead of true human acting talent. Like me. But isn't that the point of films? To make other people like us, aspire to be the same as us? It's so unfair! Sometimes, I really wish there could be like a treatment, a fitness regimen or like a pill or something I could just take and become famous; just like a pill that makes you into a star and see all my hard work and effort deservingly rewarded. Natalie! What do you think? Are you even listening? Natalie!
