The 2013 TIME 100 List is out and again the world of cinema is represented quite well. While I may not agree with ALL of the selections, but they are worth the notice nonetheless; where appropriate, I labeled the category of where they were slotted, otherwise they were identified as Artists. Here are some of the honorees:
Daniel Day-Lewis, Actor, 55 (in the “Icons” section)
Jennifer Lawrence, Actor, 22
Steven Spielberg, Director, 66
Mindy Kaling, Comedian, 33
Bryan Cranston, Actor, 57
Aamir Khan, Actor/Activist, 48
Lena Dunham, Actor, 26 (in the “Icons” section)
Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Actress, 34 (in the “Icons” section)

‘Time’ magazine is attempting to seek relevance again?
Steven Spielberg an “Icon”? Maybe twenty years ago. More of a “mogul” today.
Bryan Cranston. Superb character actor. Best comedic work was in ‘Malcolm in the Middle’. Not an ‘Icon’.
Lena Dunham?… Seriously? A complete fabrication of the liberal left media machine. With bad skin art.
Didn’t recognize more than a half dozen names overall.
Which may be why I gave up on ‘Time’ magazine back in the 1970s.

April 21, 2013 at 11:53 amAs you see I left commentary up to my readers. There were more than a few that left me scratching my head. You pointed out just a few of them.
And not to age you or me for that matter but in my defense I couldn’t even read in the 1970s

April 22, 2013 at 10:16 amTrue. Lists are funny things. Glad to see cinema as art recognized but this is also a business – the business of selling covers for a dying concern.
The photos are pretty nice, though 😉
