Actors Fail to Distract Audience from Prop Newspaper Headlines

View Comments

  • Among the reasons -- they want to be able to re-create scenes from day to day, or month to month, and they want access to the same newspaper, without it going yellow with age. They also wouldn't want an actor to turn a page and suddenly reveal a story on a recognizable current event, which might go against the setting the script has established.

  • I honestly think it's because of "pause-button-friendly" shows like The Simpsons. People are now trained to assume there's an easter egg in every piece of print that passes the screen.
