Now take a look at an actor like Depp. Sure you can recognize him, but you could watch a whole movie without actually really noticing that he's in there.

No, no. That's Gary Oldman. Depp is still too flashy to blend seamlessly into his roles. The closest he came was ironically his flashiest role: Cap'n Jack Sparrow...and he was aided by copious accouterments and make-up to pull it off.

Unfortunately, these researchers don't seem to understand that videogame studies are only going to draw attention if they blame video games for something horrible. "Video Games Help Soldiers Cope With Pain"? That won't do at all!

Hmmm...

Parents are being warned about the desensitizing effects of a new video game that one observer described as "a snowball massacre from hell." Chillingly, the game is already popular among trained killers.

There we go. Much better!

On the contrary. Star Trek I to VI were at least glorified fan flicks from insiders, from then on they tried to appeal to a more general public: Now they even lost that bit of appeal.

IV was pretty accessible on general principles, and VI was accessible to anyone who wasn't in a coma during the entirely of the Cold War.

But otherwise, I get your point.
