According to Guardian journalist Lucy Mangan, a documentary about global fashion and music superstar Victoria Beckham is extremely boring. It is three hours of platitudes. (Here A platitude is an obvious truth not worth saying in conversation.) Why does she not make sparkling quotes like Marilyn Monroe? She could say, “I always look moody because then people will never know when I’m actually moody.” I consider three solutions: (a) Earlier celebrities did not have sufficient evidence of the robustness of non-literary work, whereas now they do. (b) Any quotable lines would be credited to someone else – a Jan Narvesonlike problem. (c) It would cause a counter-reaction without quote misattribution.
