Re: Maybe you should try posting more than one-liners I'm crushed! I hope you didn't let someone else form your opinion for you. Sorry Slick, I guess I totally missed the hidden meaning behind "You let other people form your opinions? Wow." I'll know next time I see one of your one-liners...

You do realize that the above is complete horseshit don’t you? Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t, there are a bunch of factors and reviews are one of them. (1) The reviews for EP2 were mixed - try reading more than just one review. It seemed that people either loved it or thought it...

It may not have been the direct cause of the cancellation, I'm willing to bet there were more than a few reasons. But I'd have a hard time believing that the during the discussion on whether to continue or kill it the movie's failure did not come up at least once. And had the movie been...

There was a low budget flick called Alligator and its sequel Alligator II. But this was a horror flick and they seem to churn out sequels in this genre regardless of the success of the original. BTW one of the previews they showed before Resident Evil was Jason X. This time he's a cyborg 500 yrs...

Well first of all, it’s unsurprisingly and disappear. That aside, I’m not expecting anything from anyone. Quarto and the others at least carried on the debate using examples and opinions (I respect them for their opinions even if I don’t agree). You just seem to come here to post childish little...

You just did reply :). I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

With an facial expression that says nothing yet wastes a lot of room in the thread? Why am I not surprised?

Hey, how about an actor working in one type of role exclusively before trying different ones? That’s the generally accepted most popular reason. He/she gets known for one type of role, ie typecast. Most actors are very careful to avoid this today. However, I just can’t help but think that your...

Is this an example of an actor's typecast creating a (negative) preconcieved opinion of a movie? :) Blade Runner/Unsuccessful *not due to* typecast therefore ALL movies that are unsuccessful *not a result of* typecast. Kind of overreaching isn't it? I completely disagree with "no noticeable...

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Did I say that actors enjoy being typecast? Did I say that typecast actors couldn't do other things brilliantly? No & No. I believe that I did refer to Robin Williams didn't I? And I'll say it again, getting audiences to accept a typecast actor, outside his genre...

Not risky? You lost any credibility with that remark. There are very few things in life that are risk-free my friend. You need to go to Hollywood so you can tell them how "proper auditioning" will eliminate risk. See you at the Oscars! Nope, my interest is based on a target audience. How many...

IT'S RISKY! You should know that typecast actors very often have difficulty breaking into new genres. There must be hundreds of actors that could never break out of their stereotypes and so could not find work. Why do you think this is? The TV/Movie studios maybe? Do you think they had a reason...

Dudes! I just robbed a jewlrey store and I'm having trouble pawning the rocks. Can anyone help me fence this stuff? That's might be how the admins here will take your post. I suggest you look on ebay or spend some time at stores that sell used games (EBX is one example). I believe it was PC...

My point was that the casting of sterotyped teen flick actors was a mistake. I don't actually have a problem with Prinze at all. My problem was with the selection of stereotyped "teenie flick" actors for a non-teenie sci-fi movie, unless that was the intent which I doubt seriously. Star Wars...

Oh sure, make ME do all the work. This was cut from Hamill's film biography on Yahoo: He made his screen debut in Star Wars (1977) and became such a big hit that he had trouble getting other types of roles. Hamill appeared in films such as Corvette Summer (1978), The Big Red One (1980), and...

You're exactly right but you totally missed the point didn't you? Hamill's and Prinze's acting in SW/WC aren't that dissimilar -> so what's the difference? Hamill wasn't typecast at the time was he? He was an unknown. Prinze's name, whatever his ability now or in the future, brings with it *teen...

I'm glad you did miss the logic because there was none. I was being facetious. How old was Hamill when he did Star Wars? Did Star Wars have the same *teenie* feel to it as WC? I don't think so. The problem with Prinze/Lillard is that they are already stereotyped as teen flick actors. I'll bet...

Why of course not! Being in a popular movie makes actors GREAT! Thespians even! For example, look at the phenomenal acting ability of Shannon Elizabeth of the very popular Amer. Pie I/II. Whoops, sorry, I was confusing her physical attributes with her acting abilities. ;) They didn't really...

Or equally stupid reasons to like it. Like "Oh, it's got WC on it! It HAS to be GOOD!" How about this for stupid reasons? Weak plot and juvenile (Scream/I know what you did last summer) actors? I rarely pay much attention to the critics unless they universally pan a movie (WC Movie's case) -...
