Is it like the crazy/beautiful one on HIMYM?
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I have the suspicion that "famous" correlates with "crazy" more than "artistic" does.

Celebrities have more narcissistic personality traits than the general population, and people with narcissistic tendencies seem to be attracted to the entertainment industry rather than the industry creating narcissists, according to a groundbreaking study

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Where would you put your UPS guy? Margaret Thatcher? Your high school math teacher?
+5, +5, +1 -- in my head "more artistic" is on the left side of the page. Not sure why. I do love my UPS guy. And my favorite hs math teacher was more artistic than you might think.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The problem with Michael Bay movies overall, for me, is that he appears intent on positing the human species as too dumb to live.
Please, feel free to make my points for me. Not an artist.
Now, now. I'm sure we can think up "real artists" that would meet your torturation criteria who also posit the human species as too dumb to live. Why, that's kind of the raison d'etre for certain flavors of literature, no?

I have the suspicion that any study on the entertainment industry done by someone that calls themselves Dr. Drew is highly suspect.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sounds like the study has some narcissisticism of its own.

In my unscientific work with not very successful theatre people, I have tended to work with a 75/25 split of narcissistic asshole/normal person. I found the normal people to be more talented, or at least so much easier to work with that it outweighs the slight increase in talent.

I would insert rant here, if I wasn't leaving work in 4 minutes. Something about insecurity leading to monstrous behaviour. But, in short, I will agree with Sophia, but say that I've often wondered if the crazy/bitchy/normal/nice spectrum of behaviour doesn't affect one's outlook on that person's performance.
My psychiatrist friend has mentioned a definite correlation between creative types and mental illness. But who's to say if the mental illness helps or hinders the creative process.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

My experience was 50/25/25 narcissistic asshole/unbalanced or lacking-common-sense genius/normal person. The geniuses could either be jackasses or like unto sweet, dumb puppies that needed to be herded. The assholes may or may not have been talented. But something I noticed, even with the "normal" theater people, was a lot of passion - enough that it was outside the norm of the general populace. However, I was living in a place renowned for the stoicism of the inhabitants. I don't know how much to correct for that.
