Sandra Bullock: What am I missing?

I recently joined a very small theater company where I do improv once a week. They sent an email out offering a class on the Meisner technique and their advertising for it went as follows:

Meisner technique revolutionized American Theater and it is the technique utilized by such theater greats as: Robert Duval, David Mamet, Sandra Bullock, Kim Basinger, and Joanne Woodword.


SANDRA BULLOCK? WHAT THE FUCK??? Did I miss some incredible acting in Speed or Miss Congeniality (or the sequel)? Good god! I thought the Eddie Griffin pitch was off but this is as bad as it gets.

"Learn to act as well as Sandra Bullock and Kim Basinger."
"Learn to play piano like Helen Keller."
"Learn to see like Stevie Wonder."
"Learn to be small like Drew."
"Learn to be hairless/clothed like Aaron Mandel."

I mean seriously.
