I have no particular problem with that. I don't want crappy movies to succeed, regardless of who is in them.

However, so far this looks good to me. Don't know if it's a theater film or rental for me yet, but I'm leaning towards buying a ticket.

Do you really think Summer is a better actress than Natalie?

Yes, I DO think that Summer is a better actress than Natalie. Silly question!

Yes, I think we should do whatever we can to support Summer. She's a brilliant actor and deserves our support. I mean, yes, crap movies are crap movies, but if the actors in them aren't crap, we should at least go to the theater (if your town's theater hasn't shut down... )and watch it.

I wholeheartedly disagree with that. I think Hollywood has long since been dragged into the muck because of people going to the theater for and actor or actress rather than the overall quality of a film. Slap one big name star on a piece of trash and you're guaranteed X number of dollars. IMO that's exactly the wrong way to go about voting with your dollars. I'd rather send the message that Hollywood has to produce an all around quality film if they want any of my money.

You're a wonderful idealist!

The rest of us just surrender our elitist standards and give in to vulgarity if we're going to the movies. Or we could stay home and watch True Blood to keep our standards low.

Money, money, and money are the top 3 priorities in Hollywood. Famous Actors comes in fourth. Let's pick a random movie like Black Swan (2010) to analyze how Hollywood cast actors. Well, not really random because FOX distributed it, the same corp that killed Firefly.

Nobody can play better than Summer Glau the deranged ballerina in Black Swan. Summer does the best crazy. Yet, Natalie Portman, who can't dance worth a damn, was cast. Portman is a manufactured product of Hollywood's Liz Taylor Child Actors School. Its graduates are famous for being famous. Summer Glau is NOT a graduate. The other ballerina in Black Swan, Mila Kunis, is another of those Liz Taylor graduates, which is why she was picked.

I think those casting decisions worked very well for FOX. Giving all credit to famous Portman and Kunis, Black Swan made $327,803,731 www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=blackswan.htm If we could magically replace Portman with Summer Glau, it would be a better movie that made less money.

Most important for the vulgarity that sells Hollywood movies, Portman made sure that the entire world knows the daddy for her illegitimate child is the choreographer of Black Swan. “Would it be too crazy to think you might name your baby Oscar?” a reporter asked backstage in the pressroom at Hollywood’s biggest night, when Portman won for Black Swan. Those Hollywood marketeers are geniuses!

You think the dancing was the focus of Black Swan? I don't think the dancing was very important at all. It was just the backdrop for the story. She was basically living out the role of the black swan. Her emotional roller coaster was the important part of the film to me. Kunis didn't really have much actual dancing anyway. Plus her whole thing was that she wasn't very technically sound at dancing.

Anyway I thought it sucked. I was glad I didn't see it in the theater otherwise I couldn't have gotten up to do other stuff.

Portman got the Oscar for doing 5% of her dancing and 100% of her acting/histrionics. It looked like she had learned nothing since she did The Professional when she was 12. It's recycled acting from the 1990s. Summer could do 100% and 100%, but no Oscar because she's unknown. It would not have mattered if Summer performed better than Portman.

Compare the Badassdom trailer to the horror/comedy Blubberella (2011) trailer www.imdb.com/title/tt1756427/

My loyalty is to Summer Glau, but if I were also a fan of Lindsay Hollister, who plays the title character in Blubberella, I would watch her movie just as I will watch Summer in Badassdom. Quality is immaterial; blind loyalty and fanatical fandomism are more important.

Blubberella is director Uwe Boll's Schindler's List. Uwe was reaching for a best director Oscar. No, not really.

Uwe shot Blubberella and Bloodrayne: The Third Reich simultaneously and just keep swapping out fashion model Natassia Malthe for plus size model Lindsay Hollister. He got to make both a movie and the tongue-in-cheek parody. And Uwe got to play Hitler, the ultimate role for a director.

I will never be blindly loyal to anything. That type of thinking has led to some of the greatest atrocities in human history. Our minds and our ability to make decisions define who we are. Turning them over to someone/something else is as good as erasing our own existence.

So strong, Zeek. You are going to change the world! Could you start by getting Summer Glau's agent to find better future projects than Badassdom? I'm embarrassed that I have to buy a ticket, but I can't help myself for I am weak. I'd hate it if her next movie project, whatever it is, is a 3rd horror/comedy. She's done Mastodon. Two horrors are enough.
