Do you, as a viewer, feel more excited or curious to see films, pics, ads of star kid compared to a rank newcomer or outsider?
I root for outsiders and get curious about them, but will treat star kids and outsiders the same if they are good actors. And I normally get excited for the story line and not the actors, but there are some actors with great acting that I’d enjoy watching even though the writing is sh*tty.
Do you prefer to watch familiar stars, films, content or are you open to watching new kind or content, new or less known actors?
Watching the same old bunch gets old, so I love discovering new people and content.
Do you warm up to new faces easily?
Yaas!
Or do you feel disconnect and loss of interest in films or TV if familiar faces are not around?
Nope.
Do you prefer old formula or are you open to new formats of story telling and concepts?
Love new and fresh storylines or even a new take on same ol’ tropes.
If you are fan of a star or filmmaker, do you consider it your duty to support their kin also, to show loyalty to your fav idol? You feel obligated to support their relatives or judge them less harshly?
No. I sometimes wish some roles were given to actual actors with acting chops, especially if I am watching something with Bollywood’s nepo gang or people like Akshay Kumar who get roles on a platter.
I am loyal but I criticise performance of my favs too, and I’ll drop them from my fav list like a hot potato if they are found out to be sh*tty people😂
Do you compare and judge star kids to their parents or older relatives in more lenient way or harshly?
Harshly, they are privileged and should be critically viewed.
Do you support and watch films of your idol at any age or you slowly quit on them if you do not like their older self or their work in older age and prefer to revisit their old work?
Age doesn't stop me from appreciating an actor, but I’ll drop them like a hot potato if I started to dislike them at any age or time, but will appreciate their good work I enjoyed before my dislike🌚...like SRK and Kimura Takuya, I don't like SRK's current work and like Kimura's current work even though they are both aging horribly/melting.😂
