I've never understood the Julia Roberts phenomenon. IMO, she's an
ordinary looking woman with acting skills that are mediocre, at best.
Exactly.
It boggles my mind that the industry deems her worthy of tens of
millions of dollars per film. I don't get it.
Neither do I. I think she's simply an excellent example of the
blank-slate phenomenon--she's so mediocre and her acting so flat that
people can project anything they want to. Apart from that I have never
seen anything that I would call talent in her.
