Wanna Be a Foster wrote "Sorry, but you lost me after Pretty Woman, as that film features one of her most universally praised performances (she earned her second Oscar nomination for it) and deservedly so. Anything you said following that has no credibility whatsoever. "

Then you're an idiot. Watch that performance and tell me what's so special about it. This is a woman who willingly works with a director like Garry Marshall.

the mind of ben brantley is a petri dish where very strange thoughts grow. i have been in the same theater on many nights and apparently we have seen vastly different shows. i don't think there's anything to be gained status-wise by dive bombing julia roberts. don't people expect her to be just a little bit of all right?

All I have to say is that we should give the girl some credit. She's making her debut- she has no real reason to do this- and it shows that she's willing to take a risk and some chances when she could just sit in her house and count the millions of dollars in her bank account.

Personally I hope she does well, why hope for the worst. And I've been to shows where people have broken character before (well past previews)- people are so judgemental here. Also, it's not my experience that broadway actors are any more professional and talented than people who have careers in film- I've seen some poorly trained lazy musical theater actors in my life. People are so scared that bringing in "stars" to broadway is going to ruin it or something- like it's a club for all the people who were picked on in high school. Personally I think it's great- people won't be able to afford it anymore- and then they'll start seeing more off and off-off broadway.

Hey guys, I just want to add that I don't see the appeal of Julia Roberts either. To me she's attractive, good enough actress, but she doesn't have "it" for me. Now throw tomatoes and hate me, but that's my honest opinion.

Jane2, you are DEAD to me! *spits*

Next you'll say Carol Channing's got more talent in her little finger than Julia has in her entire being!

Glad I had to go to work right after I made that post, lol! Let me add this to fire-I think Julia's brother Eric is a much better actor than she is. And he used to be hot in the day. (what the hell does that mean?)

I like her, but I don't think I idolize her (especially since I haven't seen all of her movies including, "Erin Brockovich"). One of her first films, "Mystic Pizza" is one of my favorites.

Oh please, Skittles. It was what, the SECOND PREVIEW? Yes, those things are often glossed over when it's that early in previews. We always say oh give them time or oh it's early in previews, etc. I'm sure I can find specific examples of this if I searched.

Even after previews, it's not always glossed over, but sometimes is. Depending on the situation, sometimes we find characters breaks funny and laugh at them as opposed to lamenting it. It really depends on the actor, show, part of the show, etc.

But to be making such a big deal out of the mistake early in previews, you're playing into the treating-Julia-different card as much as anyone.

I never said I had an issue with her making a mistake. I said I had an issue with the way the media reacted to the mistake. Maybe instead of composing lengthy posts where you babble on about nothing, you should try reading and comprehending what others have said before you try attacking them.

I understood what you said. My point wasn't that you had a problem with her making a mistake, but that the media/fans aren't reacting much differently than they do for anyone making a mistake, and to accuse them of doing so is feeding into it.

And attacking character is a fallacy of arguing, bringing up irrelevant points that have nothing to do with the issue at hand, and trying to "win" the argument my breaking the other person down...like bringing up the way one posts in other threads. I didn't do that.
