When Does A Celebrity Go Too Far??

HereNorThere · 12-08-2010 06:04AM #1

I was just wondering if anyone else here is (or was I should say was :rolleyes:) a Pierce Brosnan fan?

And how you felt when he did the movie Ghostwriter by convicted child rapist Director Roman Polanski??

I totally lost all respect for Brosnan and threw out all my videos of his.

I totally take the act of raping a child seriously. It really disturbed me.

The film is already out in video rental here in the states. Guess alot of people here felt the same way. Or maybe it was just not that great a movie. Will never know cause I never plan to see it.

Anyone else here feel the same way?

It's just a job to him though,a job is a job like.

Dunno if it's ever happened to me but a favourite drummer of mine died a while ago and I still think he faked his death,seems like something he would do anyway.:pac:

Which drummer was that? And did you know the same thing happened to Andy Kaufman?

Oh The Rev from Avenged Sevenfold,I know they're classed as a bit of a scene kid band but they were one of my gateway bands to metal so..
He faked his own death or ?

Just trying to think of any celebs I used to like but now hate..Adam Sandler,he used to be alright.
The guys from Superbad,Knocked up etc,they were alright at the start,hate them now,especially Seth Rogan.

Because they're just annoying as feck now,popping up in every film,playing pretty much the same character.
Seth Rogan - Funny Stoner
Michael Cera - Awkward teenager

Seth Rogen is hilarious

he doesn't always play the stoner....

in "Funny People" he essentially plays himself and hes starring in the new Green Hornet movie. Which I doubt he'll be smoking weed in.....

Old days.....

He's a stoner in Knocked up though.;)
But I did like that film.

Funny People on the other hand...

summerskin · 12-08-2010 08:57AM

Well you missed out on a hell of a good movie. People have different parts to their selves. We can still enjoy the fruit of Polanski's talent even if he's done bad things in the past.

I thought that film was awful.
He did basically stick to his normal awkward teen role, just with a slight twist.
Just think the guy is a terrible actor.
He is.

Check him out in Freaks and Geeks.
It's a tv show that had one season from 99-00 and also stars James Franco and Jason Segel.

Still don't really like the guy as an actor, but he plays a different kind of role in Freaks and Geeks, in that he isn't fishing for laughs.

I can't imagine you being able to find anybody who isn't in someway connected to a criminal. You're going to be left with no movies at all.

cosmic · 12-08-2010 12:11PM

Polanski is awesome. Deal with it.

ejmaztec · 12-08-2010 12:23PM

Pierce Brosnan only went too far when he took part in the sh1tefest that is Mamma Mia.

Or when he put that hamster/gerbil/kitten/chihuahua up his bum

Lorrs33 · 12-08-2010 12:44PM

I do believe Roman Polanski should return to the US and face his punishment (which will be a slap on the wrist, him being a celebrity and all), but the man lived through the holocaust and had his wife and unborn child mutilated by the Manson family. That would send anyone over the edge.

Jaxxy · 12-08-2010 12:44PM

To be totally honest with you OP I couldn't give a flying fanny fart what celebrities do in their private lives. If I enjoy them/their work I'll continue to do so. I mean how many people thought Michael Jackson was a crazy kiddy fiddling bastardo but yet mourned his death and ran out to buy his Best Of when he snuffed it?

I'm more likely to look at actors differently if they play a role that bothers me, for example when Laurence Fishburne played Ike Turner or when Jeremy Irons played that weird gynecologist twin in Dead Ringers. For ages when I saw them on screen I automatically crossed my legs, but I still love The Matrix and Die Hard With A Vengeance.
