Strickland on the Boards — Page 2

I agree with Josh. What if someone started saying that your performance in blank show sucked so bad. I mean it's not very fair to the actors or the shows to be bashing them all the time. Their is a differnece between stating your opinion and being obnoxious. If you don't like something state it and move on don't rampage about it on every board that it comes up on.

"I agree with Josh. What if someone started saying that your performance in blank show sucked so bad."

It wouldn't be the first time. Frankly, I think we're a walk in the park compared to the tongue lashing that Brantley and other reviewers across the country frequently give out. Criticism goes with the territory, and if it's something that shakes you or offends you as a performer then you just DON'T READ IT.

Assumptions on why they missed a show, why they didn't come out the stage door, what a producer was thinking, etc. are abundant on these boards. If you're going to post something publically in regards to their personal character that may hurt their reputation think twice about how much of the story you are basing your opinion on. Getting personally attacked by people who don't know me or a situation would bother me too.

Say all you want about a show (if you have some tact, all the better) but I think it's the personal attacks by people who don't know anything about a situation is what he's mostly commenting about.

I'm reminded of the History of the World Part 1 quote

"And of course, with the birth of the artist came the inevitable afterbirth - the critic"

Don't even call Brantly a reviewer. He liked Melanie Griffith in Chicago!

Yup...and BWW and ATC are what actors are "weary of." I am fairly certain he is including this one.

You guys say bad thingd about him all the time and he comes back with some bad things to say at you. He's giving you a taste of your own medicine.

Also Josh is a really nice guy. I've met him before and he's super sweet. If you read the whole Q and A you wouldn't car so much about that one comment. I love Josh Strickland and will contineue to love him.

We never said he wasn't nice. And I really haven't seen anyone say that he was even bad in the show. Many people have said the show is bad but not him.

I agree...I agree that people should just give it up: Tarzan is not going anywhere! Quit bashing it and deal with it, seriously, it's not gonna hurt you, just don't see it or pay attention to it.

I can see how it is harmful to have threads about how bad an actor is, when they have worked tremendously hard on their part, etc. ("I hate so and so..") But constructive criticism is another story. It is judging solely on their performance, and what their faults were. Nothing wrong with that.

Sorry Josh, but you need to learn to accept some negative reviews. A person has the right to judge a show, and their experience with it. If a person looks into what people are saying about a show they can determine if the particular show is their taste and to their liking. That is what message boards are for.
