Is "SALT" A Condiment Or A Spice For ACTION ?!

uh-oh. I like aggressive women in H.S. and please don't ask me how I get the attention of the girls I like LOL!

@AerinBlue In my defense, they were pretty mean with their nerdy comments about me and such. I usually just playfully punched them or stole their school items or something cute. The only time I went a little overboard was when one guy said I couldn't pick him up and trashcan him. That challenge was more a matter of pride. ;)

@woopak_the_thrill: LOL! Now you've got me all curious!!

LOL! Yes, he did want someone to ask. Now, we are all ears, or in this case eyes, waiting for the answer. ;)

Yeah, their comments really stung...I used to come home crying practically everyday because of one guy named Shawn, lol! My mom would always tell me to read that "Men Are From Mars, Women are from Venus book." 

The trash can incident came about because I really can't stand people, especially guys, who say a girl can't do something. So, I just had to do it. It was really funny/cute. I wasn't being mean, per say, I just wanted him to know I could do it.

Imagine my surprise to find myself in a relationship with one of these same guys from high school!! It's mind-boggling how age makes us wise. ;)

Your examples sound pretty normal. I bet the guy who got pushed into the stream of water didn't like getting wet, lol! I'm sure they deserved it too. I'm pretty sure you are not the type to lash out unless you have a very good reason. I consider myself the same way. :)

I was a bitch-on-wheels in high school - I was very tiny and got tired of the jokes so I would smack 'em in mouth. They stopped...ha!! Boys can be so cruel and it sounds like they deserve to be thrown in the water and trashcans and all that good stuff!! LOL

Nice! You go, Brenda! :)

Aerin you're a hoot! LOL You're bad self would have made me a perfect sidekick!! I went to school with some mean kids I'll tell ya. The wedgie part would have been perfect - Ha!! Now that I'm older and wiser, I don't use violence anymore; instead I use my "Evil Eye" look - it's pretty scary.......

PS - I wonder if Woo will condemn us in the future from reading his movie reviews?!?!? Ha

never....the power of toe-sies compells you!! LMAO

I bet Aerin and Brenda would have made awesome high school heroes. I can see the comic book now... "Bad Self and Shorty, lol." I'm sure William is enjoying all this debacle as much as me. :)

It's nice to find something to laugh about, lol. :)

(wiggling my toes) :)

I think she likes being typecast - she's one of those who loves the attention, but I agree with you she is the type to do those type of roles and she's good at it - I suppose I just am not that into those kinds of roles, regardless if they're men or women. Thanks Woo!!

I didn't see the Changeling yet, but I'm sure I would have liked her in that kind of movie better. I did like her with Denzel Washington in The Bone Collector; she was a little tough in that movie, in an intelligent way instead of physical ways, yet she had realistic fears also. And you the typical male liking to see a women all tough and all that! LOL

I love women with toughness...it's like "I wanna be with you but don't need to be with you" type of deal. I was just telling my friend the other day that most of my ex'es are the types who don't care to get some dirt in their fingers and plays no games.

Ah yes, the "bitch" woman stereotype - those are the women that can intrigue a man with their "You will play no mind games with me..period" and ones that don't act prissy, yet are tender at the same time. I can describe that perfectly because I am one of those...LOL...but, there is a difference between strong-minded personality and beating the crap out of you..no?? LOL

that is true. I guess I just admire one with a strong personality but quite gentle. One thing's for sure, if you want me to lose interest--play games with me LOL! I guess being beat to crap by a woman is no fun--but it is fun in movies LOL!

Yeah I can see that a man would love to watch someone like Jolie in the movies -- it's called Fantasizing LOL -- bless your heart!! But you are right also about the strong personalities -- weak ones lose the interest of a man quickly, and there's nothing more fun than a strong feisty woman playing around with a man (in a joking way only) and his mind to create a little bit of fun friction between the 2 of them -- a woman should never be predictable.

Thanks Aerin -- I have been wanting to see that one, but never got around to it, but you have definitely sparked my interest!! Thanks Aerin...

I like women with spunk and sassiness...I don't immature ones who act like they're in High school...."gee, he's so into me that I can ignore him.." and then when the guy loses interest, their egos can't take it. It's funny how folks are so different, makes the world more interesting.

I couldn't agree with you more!! Spunk and sassiness are wonderful qualities!! And speaking of Jolie, I know that she and Johnny Depp were making a movie together (I don't know the name of it or if it's still going to be made) but I read where Jolie got very irritated and felt humiliated with my man Depp because "he just wasn't that into her" - kind of reminds me of what you said about the high school-type girl!!

I guess that is why I am still single again...a woman has to be a little crazy to like me, they're a rare breed LOL!

Aerin - OK The Tourist - I couldn't remember, and you're right, there is a hot love scene in the movie; in fact, my man Depp's partner Vanessa did not want him to do the movie at all because of Jolie - with the rep of being a man stealer and all that, but I guess he did it anyway. The fact that she got upset cause he wasn't into her just shows how much of a show off she is (I hate women like that) - poor Jolie - she's so used to getting what she wants LOL Woo - don't worry about being single again - at least you're not boring and predictable!!

Brenda and Aerin, Depp probably did the scene because he is in control and besides, no matter what anyone says, a man has a choice--if they want to cheat they'll cheat.

...as for being single again, I am actually enjoying it. :)

Aerin and Woo: Oh I know -- I agree with the both of you!! I was just stating what I had heard because we were on the subject of Jolie.....Depp has the reputation for being faithful to his women and he is obviously committed to his partner and since Jolie was upset that he wasn't that into her proves that!! Yes, a man does have his own choice and I was actually glad he did the movie anyway -- so he could prove to his lady that she had nothing to worry about.

Just remember something guys... sometimes when directors and producers cast they're not looking for an "actor" they're looking for a "character."   That's what it means to typecast.  When Hollywood needs a wise old man in a film, they call up Morgan Freeman.  When they need a guy to kick ass they get Jason Statham.  Because sometimes they're just looking for someone who can do what they want them to do.  Not someone to act in a particular role.  Directors like--sometimes NEED--that in some people. 

So the, "I don't like because they play the same role..." type stuff, I'm confused by because it's something that the industry actually kind of sort of needs.  And if you're GOOD at playing that kind of role... then it makes casting for a director easier.  And let's be honest, sometimes we like a character when they're cast in some of the same roles.  How do we know?  Go to the forums of the imdb.  For every person who might post that an actor is playing the same role there are a multitude of post from people saying how they LOVE that.  How if you need a wise old man, you should get Morgan Freeman (Morgan Freeman has almost NEVER branched out into something different, even in those Batman movies he's the same old guy).  Or if you want someone to play a badass you get Samuel L. Jackson.

It's rather nice for Directors to be able to do that. And while it makes us appreciate the acting styles of someone such as Johnny Depp (even he gets typecast... people get Depp because they want someone eccentric and strange most times--Edward Scissorhands, Willy Wonka, the Mad Hatter... it's why Tim Burton likes him, and why he made the cast and crew of Pirates of the Caribbean so nervous) or other actors who seem to be able to do almost anything (Kevin Spacey) it also means that we're not appreciating sheer entertainment value.  So I don't mind when actors are cast in the same particular role.  There are more "characters" out there than actual "actors".  As long as they're not trying to something they can't, I don't really care. 

But I learned about it in a film class.  You have "Character Actors" (who play the same "character" over and over again) and you have "Actor Stars" (who have range and can do anything).  Most times you're going to find "Character Actors."  They're the easiest to come by and it means that certain people be themselves.

Thanks Aerin - I agree with you completely. Sean, I agree with you on the Character Actor stuff; the only thing is, what kind of character does each individual really like to see? I personally don't like any too-tough character types, male or female, but everyone likes something different. It is true that my man Depp is typecast (I just adore him) into quirky characters, but on the other hand, he can play any kind of role that he wants to play by putting in his own mind-set. There were many movies he played in where he wasn't quirky; Blow and some others for example. The reason everyone got nervous about Pirates was because he played the role his own way, not the Charlton Heston type they wanted him to play, which says to me he is an Actor Star. He likes playing those roles for reasons of his own, not just because he is "cast" in those roles. John Travolta is good example of an Actor Star that you mentioned; he can play good guy, bad guy, anything he wants and is very convincing at any role he plays. Robert DeNiro can also play comedy, drama, whatever. While I agree with you on lots of things you said, some people just prefer actors that can broaden their horizons, and Jolie is not one of them, but only in my opinion. If one likes that type of character, I would say she's great at these roles, but she can also play other roles good as well; I heard the Changeling was good, (haven't seen that one yet!) and I saw her in The Bone Collector with Denzel Washington as a different type of character, and she was good, so I believe she could broaden herself if she wanted; as you said, it means certain people are being themselves.
