Add to that the fact that Bullock's movies, while bad, are forgettable and her "likability." With all of that you get America's BFF Sandy and a career that will continue to until Hollywood finds Bullock 2.0.

Since it's based on bad script choices, I'm looking forward to your next installment of "Why Is Will Ferrell Still a Star?", "Why Is Vince Vaughn Still a Star?" and of course "Why Is Angelina Jolie Still a Star?"

Several high-profile producers decided to greenlight anything she wants because killing her is more trouble than it's worth.
And she's the only one that knows because she's the one who buried the hooker in the first place!*
*This is my Occam's Razor explanation.

I'm going to watch The Blind Side, simply because it's based on the Michael Lewis book, but yeah, when you know Sandra Bullock is in it you just know it's gonna be self-consciously "heartwarming."
The commenter who equated her with Sally Field is right, only Sandra would never have slept with Johnny Carson. Well, not sober. I only wish she'd had the chance to play opposite an age-appropriate Jimmy Stewart, because that would have been perfect.
She's not become the new Kate Hepburn of screwball comedy in LARGE part because nobody's writing screwball comedies that are that good anymore, duh.
Also, she hasn't reached her sell-by-date yet in Hollywood terms because she's got the best surgeon in the known universe (after a disastrous interlude when she was dating Heath Ledger and had her face stretched so much she looked like the Joker herself).

Her screen chemistry with Hugh Grant is phenomenal when (I'm sorry) the fabled Julia Roberts/Hugh Grant chemistry in Notting Hill was DOA. She's just an excellent, excellent costar who never steals a scene without permission.
And actually YES, Sandy, if you're reading this, I have a script for you. It's not mine, so I can't be accused of self-interest. But it's a drama that'll shut up the critics once and for all.
Babe, message me on my Gawker Page. It'll give Denton a thrill.

Maybe if it were an instructional video. (Is it?)

Here's a refresher on Inslaw from Wired.
[www.wired.com]
This article came out in 1993 in their second issue on the stands and ...The Net was released in 1995.
There was other software in development, but this was the only one that had mysterious deaths, intel and corporate intrigue attached to it.

People like her and are willing to go to even badly-reviewed movies starring her because there's always an element of taste involved (that is even at 20%, that's 20% of reviewers who found the film in question to their taste).
I like a lot of her not-considered-so-great movies (Practical Magic is an all-time favorite), and she has done some really good ones, too.

I also liked "The Net," including Jeremy Northam's performance -- people hated him for some reason.
And who doesn't like "While You Were Sleeping"? Her character's a little wimpy, but she brought her trademark charm.
Even if she's doing all those movies just to make money, who cares? Bullock is not the reason they're bad. As a female actor, her career is likely to be far shorter than that of a comparable male actor. Why shouldn't she salt it away?
With that kind of dough maybe one day she'll be able to direct or produce a movie of which Mr. Rushfield approves.

She can read the phone book on camera for all we care. Now ease up on Sandy and do away with that Megan Fox trollop, please.

What is not to love about this woman?

I know many women who hate Julia Roberts, Jennifer Anniston and Katherine Hegel, but I have never known a woman who cannot stand Sandra Bullock.

I'm old, but I'd compare her likability and screen presence to Sally Field.

PS: And I almost, almost liked 28 Days--her AA flick. It's probably her best ever. Maybe because it was directed by a female filmmaker?

@snugbug: Yes, I saw The Net a couple months ago and yes, the infancy of the internet and all it's early hiccups and variations of DOS is pretty hilarious, especially while also taking note of Sandra's high-waisted, lady-pouch jeans. Ah, the nineties...computer crimes and a bare-chested (Marky) Mark Wahlberg.

I love Sally Field, but Sandra Bullock has always seemed sexier to me. She's the smart, pretty, sexy girl-next-door if you lived on a very exceptional block.

This is how I feel about Meg Ryan in certain roles.
11/19/09
I mean, she's clearly a mediocre actress--prone to flipping her hair out of face and crossing her arms with alarming frequency, as if she has no idea what to do with her hands during a talky scene. Her face looks a little.. odd at this point, too. But she occasionally achieved a measure of emotional depth in that film. Enough to make me sympathize with her character. Oh, and I'm fully aware the Women remake was universally panned when it came out. I dunno. I liked it. Bottom line: Meg Ryan trumps Sandra Bullock in my book.
