I looked at the video. Maybe she was on something; but since she made no sense, she might fit right into a political career.
Hard to imagine she could lower today's standards.
I saw it - thought she had a few loose marbles, or maybe a few too many glasses of bubbly...
I found a link, but I guess it was ~ 3.5 minutes of the total, but even at that, I don't get what there is to make a fuss of. I get tired of celebrities going on and on like their life is any more important than Joe/Jane down the street.
I'm not a big movie person, but "The King's Speech" was getting a lot of press, thought I might go see it. A friend who saw it summarized it for me:
"A royal, with almost unlimited resources faces a challenge. He overcomes it (with the help of almost unlimited resources). Many ordinary people face challenges, and they overcome them with limited resources. Ho Hum."
So I guess that's how I feel about any 'challenge' or 'situation' Ms Foster finds herself in. Deal with it, like so many others who don't have a soapbox to proclaim it to the world.
I've seen her in several movies, I really can't comment on if she is good, great, or merely competent. One actor that impressed me recently was Jamie Foxx, in "Ray". There was so much hype about his portrayal, and what I found is that one minute into the movie, I totally forgot about all I heard of his prep for the roll, learning the walk, mannerisms and such - and I just was immersed in the story. I think that is what an actor is supposed to do - get out of the way, and let the story come through. If you notice them, then maybe they aren't doing it right? It's almost an oxymoron. And I think it probably takes great skill to attain that.
Some people like sports, hunting, travel, theater, movies, music, beverages, forms of meds
, etc. No need to rain on others who enjoy something you don't, imho. What was that mom used to say about if you can't say something nice....
Well, it seems to me if someone starts a thread in a
discussion forum, they should expect discussion. It should be no surprise that some people will see things differently. Life would be very boring otherwise.
Should we start an "Agree with Me" sub-forum? I've always felt one could start a blog for that and disable comments, or talk to a mirror.
