A Galaxy of Stars Burning Out

"Tenderness," Lionsgate, 2009
As a country, our appetite for stars -- for gossip and photos and red carpet footage -- is greater than ever, but our willingness to shell out to see those stars in the movies for which they're supposedly known seems to have faded a bit. Take "Tenderness," a Russell Crowe thriller that got dumped into a single screen in New York last Friday by a studio who clearly didn't expect legions of Crowe fans to make any kind of larger release worthwhile.
This week on the IFC News podcast, we talk about the changing nature of stardom, and whether having an A-lister in your film makes nearly as much business sense as it used to.
