Well, the shit like Ashton Kutcher is definitely lame, but I am following David Lynch, James Gunn, Lloyd Kaufman, and a few other people of interest. They have interesting things to say and I respect their works...why wouldn't I want to follow them? The problem with people that follow Ashton Kutcher is not the issue of following a "celebrity", the problem is the fact that they like Ashton Kutcher enough to follow him.
If I weren't following David Lynch, I probably wouldn't know about his "Interview Project" that he has going on, which is really interesting. Likewise, James Gunn does all kinds of "worst remakes ever", "favorite gore flick" type stuff that is fun to do.
Again, I ask...how is that any different than some of the games you guys play in this forum? It's all "time killer" shit at the end of the day. What you don't get about it doesn't make it lame, it just means you have other things of interest to kill your time.
There are, unfortunately, a lot of people that MAKE it lame....but it is what you make of it. Follow people you actually have interest in and I guarantee you will find it more interesting.
