Apart from Brokeback - which one, Nancy?


Thinking back, I have seen more than 2.  In addition to Brokeback, I've seen Brothers, Jarhead, Love & Other Drugs and the spider one.  None of them struck me as special, although the spider one was very interesting and made a viewer think. 

I'm definitely not star-struck by any actor or celebrity, and would certainly never spend time or money to see a movie just because a certain person was in it.  To me, they're just somebody doing their job and if it seems worthwhile, I'll check out what they've done. 

I honestly think the worship that is heaped on celebrities is ridiculous, and how fans feel so involved in their lives is silly.  Who cares if they're happy?  I only care about people that matter to me, and stars don't matter to me.

ok, ready for fall-out...

Bye, Felicia

I don't think there would be fall-out.  I think a lot of people feel that way about celebs.  To be honest, I don't think that as many people worry about that type of thing as we think.  My own opinion, I think the excitement of projects celebs do gets misrepresented into that type of feeling.

Right now, I'm very excited about the new Madonna album that is coming out in June, but I'm not worried if Madonna is 'happy' or 'proud' of her work.

that's exactly it, Chuck.  You're excited about the album being released...her work, not her happiness.

Enemy!  :-*  Jake was amazing in that one!

Well... there's nothing we can do about their personal happiness, is there? But I like to think they are happy with / about the work they're doing.

And me - although Jake's piece, written by Nick Payne, is partly about the loss of a father, and that's quite a touchy subject for me at the moment, so...  :(   But I've read Jake's great in it.

This must be very difficult to you, subjectwise, right now.

Hugs!
