When did everyone become a star?

When I was a kid in the 50s and 60s, movies had stars. They were the leading name actors and actresses of their times. They earned their billings from years of admired performances in many other films. They were often why you went to see a film. The others in the cast were supporting players or bit players or the bottom of the barrel extras. At an awards show you would never refer to a supporting player as someone "starring" in the film. That sure has changed. It seems if you even had a single line in Harry Potter Meets Indiana Jones, you were said to be "one of the stars of this blockbuster film." Of it you had the lead in a single movie that made money, you received the same kind of accolades as if you had a proven track record. Ridiculous. That's another thing. Back then a film was a blockbuster if it was hugely popular and made tons of money. It didn't even have to be a big film. Now it's a blockbuster just for being big. Films are heralded as blockbusters before they even open. Even if they're miserable failures, they're blockbusters. Ridiculous. That's another thing, back then a film became a classic with time. Citizen Kane or Casablanca did not open as classic films. They earned that designation through time and by appealing to new generations. Today the ever-deceptive Disney studios announce the release of every animated bit of fluff as a "new classic." All the same nonsense applies to television. The week before the new Hawaii Five-O premiered, it was heralded as "America's most popular new show." I guess most people are comfortable with this kind of dishonest exaggeration and willling to accept that The Princess and the Frog is as much as classic as Bambi. I'm not. Nor do I consider supporting players stars. I'm sure that even a super-talened professional like Timothy Spall would never claim he starred in The King's Speech, though I am sure he is constantly introduced as one of the stars of that popular film. Oh, well. That's how it is today. So might as well get used to it, and expect to hear that a blockbuster new classic will be coming out this fall. I wonder who will star it in it.
