Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 Perhaps she's not a good actress, but c'mon, it's a fuckin' slasher flick. I don't ever recall there being anything above average acting in any slasher flick I've ever seen. You all act like she walked right in on the middle of To Kill A Mocking Bird or something with good actors in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 You know...maybe I overstated when I said she was terrible. She was terrible at delivering dialogue... BUT I never sat there and thought "Hey...there's the girl from Destiny's Child" and then got hung up on it. I kind of bought her as her character...which is hard to do when you are well known. ahh...I didn't go to Freddy vs. Jason for the acting and everyone knows that.

Guest Crucifixio Jones Report post Posted August 16, 2003 I'm with Bruiser. (surprise, surprise) We're talking the same crowd who prolly adores Troma movies and they have the nerve to bust on someone for their acting...was there someone here who prolly deserved an Oscar but was held back by Kelly Rowland? Didn't think so. Inside, subconsiously you're just looking for something to pick on because she was in it. What you need to do instead of talking about how the "black girl" can't act, is go find a movie that's actually worth seeing and spending money on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted August 16, 2003 Oh...and if Justin Timberlake or Britney Spears were in a horror movie I'd wager that the bloodlust would go up tenfold...so I doubt this has ANYTHING to do with skin color. It has everything to do with "You don't belong in this movie. Die" I agree. It's not an issue of skin color, but rather who the person is. Remember the backlash from fans when people found out that N'Sync (or was it the Backstreet Boys) were going to be in Episode II? In that case, the backlash was actually worse. As for Freddy vs. Jason, I enjoyed it and have no complaints about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 The theater I was at wasn't into the movie at all either. If I had seen the movie with surroundings like some of you other guys saw it in, I might've gotten tricked into liking it too. The few people that were there around me all seemed pretty bored. There were two reactions, when Freddy jumped out in the dream "the old pop out of nowhere cheap scare", that made everybody jump, and then the goalie line. That was it. The rest of the time everybody just sat there with quite a few of them talking through it. As soon as it ended, I was the only one who didn't immediately jump up and walk out. I at least stayed through the cast list. Everybody else left like the place was on fire. Nothing worse than a dead crowd. Plus the theater didn't turn the lights off for the movie. I would have been pissed if that happened. That kind of ruins the experience / atmosphere. Now...the LL one I agree that he should have died...I mean he was shot in the HEAD. But... Spoiler (Highlight to Read): the bullet only GRAZED his head Busta should have lived though...he was the only good thing in that movie. As much as I hated that movie, I have to disagree about that. The man is a horrible actor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 How is Busta a horrible actor? He's not great, but he did a damn fine job in his role in Narc, so what exactly is about him that makes him such a horrible actor? Please explain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 I thought he was hilarious in that movie. He was making a Halloween movie over twenty+ years after that meant anything to anyone...and he just looked like he was having a ball with it. Picture someone who wasn't that into the job playing that part. It could have been so boring and made the movie even worse. Instead he was entertaining in a very important role that made me laugh a bunch of times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Report post Posted August 17, 2003 Let's sum it up. Cut the woman some slack. This was her FIRST acting role. She is an R & B Artist, she is not an Actress. Granted, other Hip Hop Artists have done well in movies. Seriously, this is a horror film. Do you really think that the material she or any of the other Actors (Minus Robert Englund) was given would be worthy of any Oscar ? Example: Lori: "Hey Freddy, go to Hell" Wow... Oscar material ? Also, admit... she had one of the better scenes with Freddy, in terms of Comedy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if the acting was that bad, the one guy was doing a pretty good Jason Mewes impression. Holy Shit, you guys noticed that too ? Also, maybe it was just my Theatre, but The Texas Chainsaw Massacre(SP), The Rundown, & House Of The Dead Trailers were all accepted by the crowd. Especially T.T.C.M. , the Trailer actually spooked a couple of people. Edited August 17, 2003 by NaturalBornThriller4:20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted August 17, 2003 Well it was typical slasher film acting. Honestly, the acting didn't bother me. If I expected good acting from a slasher I'd be a class A idiot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TSA09 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2003 I had T.T.C.M., The Rundown, Underworld, Scary Movie 3...and a few others that I don't remember.
