Why did the Empire State Building quit acting?


It was a towering performance in Empire, so why did it quit?

Well with all its fame it got too much pressure from fans and eventually started a continous life of drugs and alcohol.

I think the Empire State Building really overacted in this film. Not subtle at all. It was a laughable performance, really. I can't believe all the praise exists. He never let the other actors in the scene. He chewed the scenery and became the focus of every scene.

Stupid theorists, ESB is a sensible, soulful building, it'd never hurt any of it's kind, anyone who buys into the theory should be whacked hard.

I was lucky to interview it for a student paper once, it wasn't too long a conversation, but it came across as a kind building, warm-insulated.

Signa...? No, we use Chip and PIN now.

I thought ESB could have easily played a better Neo than Keanu Reeves in the The Matrix.
