Lee Siegel, The Method and Its Madness:

“In the past few years, however, the Method blew itself out. Perhaps magnified by all the other self-centric trends in the culture — emoting, expressing, outpouring selves everywhere — the Method’s intense focus on personality has created a backlash. You see it in all the nasty commentary on celebrated actors. You see it in clowns of Dostoevskian self-disgust such as Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler. But most of all, you see it in the displacement of the star by the character actor.”

TMN: “For celebrities like Mel Gibson and Hugh Grant, it can be hard to tell the difference between their on-screen and off-screen lives. In his show, “The Real Tinsel,” Dwayne Moser has created backdrops of infamous scenes involving celebrities. Built by backdrop artists from photos Moser takes of the sites, these paintings ask whether public figures have private lives anymore, or are even their most personal moments up for grabs?”
