bdwyguy...no argument with you there. I, too, know of straight actors who can't pull off straight. And I don't think much of them either.
The only question I have regarding the posting of the headshot is do you have permission from Mr. Machota to do so? I know I would be very upset if someone posted my headshot without my permission, no matter if only the nicest things in the world were being said.
"I'm so looking forward to a time when all the Reagan Democrats are dead."
well, then I guess we had better check to make sure each headshot in the who's Who section has been signed off on by that actor before it is added.
This gripe very liitle tod o with a headshot or Joe and more to do witn the facrt that certain individuals from another board who do not like me and made it clear there that they didn't want me there, now come here where i have been since the beginning, and make it clear that they want me to vacte her as well. they are like the creep kid in school that goes up to the kid in the chair and screws with him until he moves because they want that seat.
So very not true...at least for me. There is a huge difference between the Who's Who and posting the pic they way you did. The Who's Who is a professional summation of one's career. You have used this actor's headshot, which is one very important way to represent himself and his professional career, as a point of objectification. Perhaps Mr. Machota has no problem with that. Then great. I'm just saying that you need to be careful because someday someone might not appreciate the attention or the way their professional calling card is used to objectify them instead of getting them work.
Just cause I don't necessarily serve it with a spoonful of sugar doesn't mean it's not good advice.
"I'm so looking forward to a time when all the Reagan Democrats are dead."
And all I'm saying is that my posts do not have to be approved by you.
People's headshots are used as professional tools tyes. but I know for a FACT that people objectify actors through their headshots all the time as well. That is just how it is. I guess next time you look at an actor's headshot you had better not comment on their appearance unless you are casting them. That is what you are telling me to do.
take the emty spoon full of sugar and shove it. I am sick of some people on this board who do nothing but act an ass toward certain members.... and it has only started since some peoplemigrated here when the other board tanked and it has started to pread to people here= as well.
Guys, we're averaging about 350 posts a day and many, many new threads... If there's something you don't like, skip it. Take the personal back and forth stuff to PM if you want and yell back and forth all day... Let's just try to keep the board focused on theater.
But I do think it is important to note that if someone posts an actor's headshot without their permission in the way it was done, then there may be repricussions.
That's it. I'm done. I would have said the same thing to my best friend or my worst enemy.

Anyone is this biz (I don't care who..please don't tell me someone is a saint ..you can't be in the biz) has an ego the size of Russia and wouldn’t care where the hell you post their picture... up to and including the local pissoir...
So yes, someone, or someones, is busting your chops...
I'll tell you what I do, when someone dislikes me, I become even MORE obnoxious and unlikable until the said person damn near implodes...or more important:
Goes the hell away...
I don't get ulcers, I give em...
Suggest you do the same, buddy...and remember, this is a message board where some people would rather use a picture of ricotta cheese to identify themselves than their own photo..
See BG2, THIS is why you are so reviled. Even when someone goes out of their way to TRY and explain things to you in a civilized and decent manner, you spew filth and nonsense at them like a defensive 15 year old lacking in social skills would. Thank you for being so predictable. You are NOT a Joe Machota representative of ANY kind. it is not your place to get him publicity. Deal with it. Can't you just admit it when you're wrong?
