This is why you people DON'T make movies.
: Kev, I hope you had her run a million lines before making that decision.
He casted her, didn't he? I'm sure he had her run as many lines as he wanted. Hell maybe he even made her act in character at a pizza party with Ben and the rest of them.
:Maybe she's a great actress
Maybe she's a great actress? Maybe...I guess you'll have to see the movie to find out, won't you?
:but let's face the fact that right now she's just a pair of tits,
Maybe, she's just a pair of tits to you because you can't seem to get past her breasts. Now I'm a guy, and I still actually paid attention to the things she said in that HORRIBLE American Pie and the FUNNY Scary Movie.
Let's just stop and consider that for a moment. I found Scary Movie hysterical, and irreverent if redundant send up of movies that were supposed to already be sending up a genre, but she handled that kind of broad based situational/jokey/slap sticky comedy very well in her turn on a Wayans movie.
So hey, maybe her acting 'chops' are perfect for the part. You act as if you wanted Meryl Streep to be in this movie, Kevin's basically said that it's not going to please anyone. He's making a comedy. The last two have been way too heavy, and he's not going to get any hatemail over Shannon Elizabeth except from women like you.
I honestly don't understand this. You bitched when women weren't allowed to act (Shakespeare), you bitched when they all acted like Donna Reid, you bitched when you didn't get paid as much, bitch, bitch, bitch! Hey there's a female and she's getting work and she's getting paid to do something most people only dream of. So fuck if she's only a pair of tits to you, that's why you have absolutely nothing to do with this production.
:which doesn't mean a damn thing to me.
I doubt that much means a damn thing to you. But what you should remember is that nothing in this world exists solely to please you, with the exception of the pocket rocket hidden behind your diary in the nightstand next to your bed. I've been reading your posts for awhile, and I think I can honestly say, I've not seen one worthwhile thing come out of any of them. Usually they're just crazy, offbeat, nonsensical rants, but this one. You say not to play the jealousy card, but you don't have to be Freud to come up with that diagnosis. It's either that or Shannon Elizabeth ran over your cat.
:I wonder who will screw her first Matt or Ben?
Now what makes you think she is the type of person who would mix business with pleasure, or that she isn't allready involved, or that she even finds Ben or Matt remotely attractive. Are you insinuating that she's just a common gutter whore or that she would put out for the "Golden Boys" solely to further her own career?
If it'll keep Ben occupied so he isn't sniffing up Brittney Spears'...well nothing since she doesn't wear clothes.
Again you're being solely judgemental on a person that happens to have looks, talent, and money. I'm sorry you work the third shift at a truck stop, but try not to turn too green. Damn.
As for being just another pair of tits, that's basically all Linda Fiorentino was when she was cast in Dogma, anybody remember JADE or LAST SEDUCTION at all. And she was a pair of small tits but she gave an admirable performance.
Have some fucking faith in the man, that's made you happy four times in a row. Shit.
