Adam Pascal Quote in NYTimes: Ew, Ew, Ew! — Page 3

I repeat: Clueless, unintelligent, boring, conforming, idiotic.....haven't you got it by now?? Don't EVEN try me...I can go on for days and you'll still be wrong. Don't just start threads like this because you have nothing better to do than pick your nose all day and try to prove the truth wrong.

Thank you. *bow*

Don't even try you? Ooooh. Anonymous theater freak is making me nervous!

(Shivering)

Which movie did he turn down?

Look, I don't care how you spin it "luvtheEmcee".
That's your interpretation of his statements.
Others have a different interpretation.
We don't have to buy your "spin" of what he told the NYTimes.

Yes, thank you Emcee.

Didn't everyone freak out about a quote from Heather Headley that was supposedly insulting Broadway a few years ago? And it turns out that everyone's "spin" on that statement was wrong.

Maybe she gave the verbal diarrhea to Adam.

I'm not telling you have to buy it. You want to throw stones at the actor, do so, because if you want your negative spin, it'll be there, right in your face. Fake. Invented. Just like you insinuate that mine is. But don't throw them at me. The Times didn't interview me.

Nia's right. He turned down what may have been a very large movie role because he wanted Cabaret so badly because he wanted a role he could really sink his teeth into. That's not someone who hates thatre. I think the movie was called "Shooting Livien."

Wait a sec... Ok maybe there is some crap on Broadway right now but I don't think anyone should be criticized for liking certain shows. What one considers crap may not be another's opinion and at least Broadway is being supported. I see your point 442 about some of the shows, but as theatre lovers shouldn't we still be supportive? Please don't attack me for this.

and where is Heather Headley now???

times are tough, it is beyond stupid to badmouth Broadway
be thankful to have a job and the opportunities

I'm glad some people have the luxury to turn down a job for artistic reasons. Unfortunately, I don't. I'm not an actor. With the current economy, I'm thankful for any job. And that is Real World 101 kiddies.

I don't doubt that Pascal was making a statement about theatre, but I hardly think he's striving for greater theatre these days considering his choice to do a Disney-fied opera with music written by Elton John that sounded like...well the rest of Elton John's music. HARDLY something new and innovative or "great" theatre. I'm sure there is plenty of theatre on THAT level coming out these days.

It makes me laugh that he thinks he can even SAY that he can just go wander off into the land of film thinking he's going to getting anything much better than he will be in theatre when his name in movies means nothing.

Is it possible? Of course it is. But the ratio of bad films being made to bad theatre is probably equal--if not in favor of theatre.

Of course, if he wanted some real good material, he might look in the direction of some straight plays on or Off-Broadway, but of course, as I previously mentioned he can't act, and he's not--nor will he ever be--GETTING offers for some of the better theatre comiing out.

If you ask me, at this point, almost anything original he CAN do will be taken by the two men with similar style but far superior talents to his--Norbert Leo Butz and Raul Esparza.

But orangeskittles, who defines what crap is? I love DRS but others might consider that crap so I'm not sure what is being defined as crappy theatre. Maybe I'm missing the point?

Well said BroadwayGirl.

I can't believe all these Adam fans pissing on Broadway.
Acting like film is SO MUCH BETTER.

Give me a break. As I said before. Plenty of crap to go around - movies and Broadway.
