(I apologize if this seems more suited to the Anon meme, but, well, anon, and I feel like getting notified of responses)

So for the umpteenth time, i've seen "I'm annoyed that people want to see this movie just because this actor/actress is in it" - is this a real concern people have? As long as they are not rude in the stadium or theater, is it really that big a problem?

[toku_mei]

I don't get why it'd annoy anyone that people do it - I mean, expensive big name actors are cast in films for this exact purpose.

I honestly don't share the sentiment of actor fandom, though. There are actors I like, and some are fun to watch. But it kind of throws me out of a movie to see the same face that I associate with other roles. I start thinking of person as the actor rather than the character. Generally speaking, I'd just as soon watch actors who I've never seen in anything before.

Plus, I don't see how watching an actor you like could significantly impact your enjoyment of the film, but I guess that's true for some people.

[kaijinscendre]

Is your icon a digimon?

[toku_mei]

The best Digimon!

[kaijinscendre]

I was only vaguely into digimon as I kid. Like we watched it but not super closely. I remember the movie. Which one is that? I know the dinosaur one.

[toku_mei]

My icon has Gatomon. I only watched season 1 and 2 as a kid, but she was featured in both of those seasons. :D

[kaijinscendre]

This one was my fav.



I feel like I played a digimon game...

[toku_mei]

Yeah, Garurumon! I loved all the season 1 Digimon, though next to Gatomon, Gomamon was my fave hands down. He was the seal with the red mohawk lol

I know there were a couple of Digimon games, though I never played them. I had the little Digivice game, which was like a Tamagotchi (however you spell that?).

[abharding]

I can see when that is ALL the person wants to talk about - how great the actor - how much better the movie/show would be if it was all that one actor all the time...

[kaijinscendre]

Those are probably the same people that are all, "Well, I knew about _______ before it was popular."

[(Anonymous)]

Don't those people realize that big-name actors get butts in seats? I have seen many movies on the basis of the cast alone. This is a crime now?

Hell, put a bunch of no-names in the places of Robert Duvall, RDJ, and David Krumholtz in "The Judge," and there would be crickets. As it sits, it'll probably do pretty well.

[elaminator]

Lmao, what...

That's how Hollywood works! (If you're popular of course you're going to be given better and/or more roles. And if you like a certain actress or actor why wouldn't that sway you decision to see a film?)

Now I get not being the least bit interested in certain movies despite the actors involved, but if a movie seems only so-so and I'm on the fence about it, I am way more likely to see it if someone I like is involved. It's that way with most people, I think.

[riddian]

Huh, I see a lot of "I'll go see X movie because Y actor/actress is in it" but never people complaining about that. I can see how it would be annoying, because personally I'm baffled by people who will see movies solely for the lead actor/actress, but at long as they're enjoying themselves and not insisting other people need to go for their personal reasons, I don't see a need to complain.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. It's a thing that annoys me on a "Why would anyone think that, how can you think that whose name is on the poster is the most important thing about a movie, stop liking things for different reasons than me" level, but it's really not worth complaining about.
