Well, yes.....mostly......kind of..... it’s complicated.   

There’s a reason why there are chemistry auditions.   Half the reason why Kylo Ren was such a hit with the audience is his chemistry with Rey.  Adam Driver is a very good actor but it was his scene partner Daisy Ridley that made him especially memorable. People still talk about Leonardo diCaprio and Kate Winslet’s performance on Titanic 20 years later because their chemistry rose above the cheesy dialogue and soundtrack.  Leonardo had many beautiful scene partners but he doesn’t have chemistry with most of them, so I tend to forget that the actresses worked in DiCaprio’s movies.

The Awful Truth, 1937

The Awful Truth is a 1937 American screwball comedy film directed by Leo McCarey and starring Irene Dunne and Cary Grant.

The Awful Truth was the first of three film pairings co-starring Cary Grant and Irene Dunne, followed by My Favorite Wife (1940) and Penny Serenade (1941).

Gross box office receipts for The Awful Truth were more than $3 million ($57 million in 2021 dollars). The film made a profit of $500,000 ($9.4 million in 2021 dollars) in a year when Columbia Pictures' studio-wide profit margin was just $1.3 million ($24.5 million in 2021 dollars)

Sci Fi genre is where the money currently is at instead of residuals, which is quickly disappearing thanks to New Media and traditional studios always finding creative ways to undercut salaries.  Jensen has made enough money for 3 lifetimes, so he doesn't need the money but men needs to work in order to feel valued.  Part of being a good husband is accept the responsibility of finding and if possible keeping a decent job.  Men cannot give birth and husbands are usually not chosen for their looks, marriages are happier if the men are working.

The best SciFi books and movies are drama, not actioners. This shouldn't surprise because if you think about it, drama is really much better suited for "space" exploration.  People tend to forget that it's not just about outer space but very much also about inner space.  It's way more interesting to see how changes in science and technology can impact individuals and society and this is not something you can really show off through explosions and high speed chases.  This may be in part why Hollywood warm up to SciFi dramas in the past ten years like The Arrival,  Moon, Her, Another Earth, and Melancholia.
