| Alec Baldwin's Hanging it Up in 2012...Really, He Means It... |
| 2009-12-01 |
| U.S. actor Alec Baldwin says he has lost interest in acting and considers his film career a failure. Sounds like someone needs a hug.... Did he say something that an objective person would find to be incorrect? "I don't have any interest in acting anymore," Baldwin, 51, told Men's Journal in an interview for its December issue. Baldwin, best-known for his Baldwin began a television acting career in the 1980s and has filmed scores of movies, including the 1988 cult classic "Beetlejuice". He was? I remember Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder and Geena Davis being in that flick...what role did he have? Not a very memorable performance there, pal. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in the 2003 film "The Cooler" and stars in the upcoming movie "It's Complicated" with Meryl Streep and his Oscar co-host Steve Martin. Men's Journal quoted Baldwin as saying it was "pretty much it for him" after "30 Rock", "in a couple of years or so". He told Playboy Magazine this year he was "done" with his career in 2012 and would retire at "30 Rock"'s wrap party. "I consider my entire movie career a complete failure," he told Men's Journal. "The goal of movie-making is to star in a film where your performance drives the film, and the film is either a soaring critical or commercial success, and I never had that." Baldwin said the 1990 action film "The Hunt for Red October", in which he starred and which made more than $200 million worldwide, was successful because it was based on a popular Tom Clancy novel. "And now, the movies I've been in, I never give them a moment's thought. Every movie I've ever been in, I just avoid," he said. Hmm. Sounds like some of the regulars here on the 'Burg. Baldwin has expressed interest in politics in the past but did not say in the interview what he intended to do should he quit acting. Maybe he'll finally move to France? |

| #2 Wehell, IMO * KOREAN WAR Generation > had the "MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE". * VIETNAM GENERATION > had "EASY RIDER" + "ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN". * 9-11 GENERATIONS > have "PEARL HARBOR", aka the Left's DECLARATION OF WAR = "FINAL STRUGGLE". |
