- Jolie is an affirmative choice.
- Pitt is an affirmative choice based on becoming perhaps the world’s most famous actor, while Moneyball and the intervening run remain alternatives.
- Twenty-first-century celebrity culture receives agreement.
- Fighting spy couples receives a tentative yes, but assassins or hit men more broadly do not.
- Vaughn is rejected and The Bourne Identity is preferred for Liman.
- Brody receives an emphatic yes because this film coincided with his O.C. fame, recalling hopes he could become the next Tom Hanks.
- Marriage-counseling movies receives a no without a clear alternative.
- On-set romances is disputed: Taylor and Burton are preferred overall, while Pitt and Jolie are defended at least for the twenty-first century.
