Movie synopsis sound so much more interesting when they just use the actor’s name.

It's even better when you use the actors' other parts. "A lost astronaut fights his way back home to save the hidden princess of Genovia from Batman."

We all know Matt Damon's greatest role was that dude who sang "Scotty Doesn't Know" in Eurotrip.

It’s much more entertaining when read from the perspective of the early-mid 00s. Today, these are all mature, respected actors, but ~~25~~ 20 years ago this headline would’ve sounded much more goofy.

25 years ago we would have been like 'who the hell is Robert Pattinson?'

Oops, I guess I overshot with that one. I guess I meant about 20 years ago. I fixed it.
