: I just made a post. Then 2 or 3 uppity fucks decided to throw a few nasty comments my way. It only got nasty after the team to Nitram and Kiss it decided to make a few jabs. It only lends itself to the theory that you cannot have any sort of discussion in here that doesnt turn into someone calling someone else a stupid fuck.
You "just made a post" that has been made a hundred times before you. The reason it pisses people off is the same reason people used to get so pissed when someone would ask "When's Clerks 2: Hardly Clerkin'" coming out? It's not because you have a different opinion, it's that your opinion had been said many times before you said it, and you brought nothing new to the table. And by the way, I just took a quick glance at the board and saw plenty of discussions that didn't turn into someone calling someone else a stupid fuck.
: If thats the way it has to be, so be it. And also, your logic is faulty. Especially since i stated in the original post that i based my decision on ALL HER PREVIOUS WORK. And what else can i base my opinion on? Ive seen a lot of her films, i didnt care for her, so i look at her casting as a question mark. Does that statement really infuriate anyone to the point of anger?
Yes, and nobody else looked at her previous body of work. Do you think Jason Biggs was doing Shakespeare before American Pie? Hell, Shannon Elizabeth's first role was on Arli$$ as a Russian tennis player that halfway through gave Arliss a handjob/blowjob. Up until JASBSB, I wasn't a fan of anything the American Pie kids had done (save for James van der Beek in ANGUS). Kevin Smith has a talent for giving good parts to people that either don't get good parts, or aren't even actors.
Jason Lee- Former skater
Jason Mewes- The studio wanted someone else to play Jay in MALLRATS because they didn't think he could pull it off
Ben Affleck- Asshole from Dazed & Confused
Matt Damon- Dogma was his first actual comedy
Jeff Anderson- Former AT&T operator
And I bet you loved every single one of these people's performances. And it would be something totally different if you didn't have the absurd notion that you think your post is any different from every single other Anti-Lopez post.
