@ZODIAC_MF@DA_WooGo A lot of my generation really internalized that “you need a certificate” mindset, as though starring in a major motion picture, and working a TV show with famed actor Patrick Stewart doesn’t count as “equivalent work experience” on the old CV.
Steven Seagal says Tom Cruise was one of the worst casting choices in The Last Samurai.
“They have a 5-foot-2-inch little guy, whether he was straight or gay, I don’t know. He had never been to Japan. He doesn’t speak Japanese. He has never held a sword. They make him the Last Samurai.”
“I was raised in Japan. I was schooled in martial arts. I was given the title of master. We got 450,000 phone calls from everybody in the world saying, ‘That role was perfect for you. How did that happen?”
“Most of the people I know didn’t like the film and didn’t go see it. It’s just a classic example of Hollywood and the politics.”
@JasonKPargin I don’t plan on doing anything horrific, but think the good things anyone could do that are newsworthy are vanishingly small and outside my skill level.
@VanLathan Seems like you understand perfectly. “We’re powerless to enact the things our voters want, but you owe us your vote because the Republicans can and will do whatever they want” has been a hell of an electoral strategy.
