Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.
Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

It's not just a job though.
I don't think any 'writer' who doesn't read is writing anything worth reading. Same thing here.
Better actors (and directors) learn from others and it's hard to do that when you're not even interested in watching movies.
Winona herself is a movie nerd.

~~How is it not a job? They aren't acting for fun. They aren't amateurs.~~
I misread, you said not "just" a job. The rest of my response still applies.
In every job there are people who are passionate about it and take the work back home - but they don't consider it work because it was their hobby / passion to begin with. There are teachers who will go continue going to conferences, get certificates, take additional courses, stay up to date on the latest pedagogic research, and so on. Same for midwives, engineers, wood-workers, bricklayers, and so on.
For many, the vast majority I'd say, a job is a job. You go in, do the work, get paid, get out, and move on to another activity after work.
