Do you want to be an A-lister, Natty? Not me. I'm too damned lazy to jump through those hoops. Hell I'm too damned lazy to tour, period. But I bet you have been dreaming about it all your life, huh? Coming from a showbiz family, and all that. What is an A-lister, anyway? According to Google, an A-lister is... wait a minute! Google doesn't have a definition for A-lister! Anyway, according to Merriam-Webster, an A-lister is "an individual of the highest level of society, excellence or eminence." What I see as being an A-lister is one of the highest paid movie stars. Like Scarlett Johansson. But since the pandemic, nobody goes to the movies much anymore, certainly not movies as profitable as "Avengers: Endgame". It doesn't look like the Covid is going to go away anytime soon, so how Biblical (or Qur'anic) that the highest grossing movie of all time was released right before the pestilence. So the movie studios are going straight to streaming, thus the recent lawsuit between Scarlett and Disney. However, streaming is an Internet presence. Right? So does that mean that an A-lister nowadays is someone with the most powerful Internet presence? Movies aren't like what they used to be. Because of the sheer glut of movies available nowadays. I don't even care if they're free or not anymore.
