Lost Chlollie friends, please say Hello and allow me to RANT

[lurkingchicken]

Late as usual, wanted to make sure I can keep in touch with my lost Chlollie friends, banned from K-site. Please tweet me, post here, anything and let me know how and where we can stay in touch. Just a shame.

I am here, DFN and @lurkingtweeter

Rant, which as you know, will not be quick.

I think TPTB over there did not expect the explosive and positive

I just joined K-site 6-& months ago after a lot of lurking ;-) .. but one of the things I had read was that it was a "Chloe friendly" place. That turned out to be ... not so correct, as everyone I've met has said that it's never been like that. Barely Chlark tolerable for a short while.

It is SAD. It's a fan site and they should welcome all real fans (ban the haters and trolls, sure).

As to "attacks" on actors.. it can get ugly. Which is why I try to stay out of those mud fights. But at the same time, I do NOT think I am bashing when I say that I don't find .. IDK... Jennifer Aniston all that pretty. Better looking than I certainly, but I've never been WOWED by her looks (or acting). YMMV.

I really take exception to being called a basher or a hater when I talk about an actor's performance. I can have opinions, damnit! I mean .. Johnny Depp MADE Capt. Jack Sparrow such a great character and the reverse is true; a lesser actor giving a weak performance can make a character, show and story suck even worse.. Zod anyone? *eyeroll*

I am on Twitter, see you there.

Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker, I'm looking at you... :-)

WORD! I watched every episode of the crappy Bionic Woman remake (#dontjudgeme the snark on the webs was hilar!) and I can't say that it would have lasted longer with a different lead actress, but still.. yikes.

I know mileage may vary, that's the point. But if enough people praise or dislike a certain performance, just stop with the bashing and name calling like those opinions are invalid... only because you don't agree with them.

For the record, I like different opinions. There's a reviewer somewhere who hates Chloe, often sees the show the opposite of me.. yet I enjoy reading his recaps. Different strokes!

Just live, learn.. move on. I don't go into other threads, mix it up where I know "negative" opinions are unwelcome. I keep my dislike for characters and performances in check, don't go after folks.. so don't come after me trying to change my mind, or put down the opinions I am entitled to have and share.

It was crap like this that drove me off the boards years ago, along with not having the time/interest. Sorry for another rant. (I blame Chlollie! ;-)

Personally, Yoda was the best actor in those prequels.

Here, here. YODA man! Lucas didn't try or care about acting IMO, all about the tech. So give the folks at ILM a raise! FWIW .. I think the same of the vocal performances in say, Transformers and Avatar, best parts in those movies.

Aw crap, now I have to ban us both for going off topic.

[gwen589]

I guess you gotta bring on the BAN-HAMMER.

[lurkingchicken]

Na.. I'll let us both slip by with a stern warning ;-)
