Edda and Margot - Poor Robert Redford. I hope he never visits this site.  Honestly, I do agree though. I used to be soooo in love with him when I was a kid. I can handle that actors get older just like the rest of us, but they do need to "act" their age.

Margot,
I feel sad when a see an animal put to sleep on Animal Vets, too. There was one story about a Siamese cat that I couldn't bear to watch. My favorite cat was a Siamese and it made me think of her. I also can't watch Animal Cops. I can't look at the horrible conditions some of those animals live in. We have had discussions about "cat hoarding" on the Siamese site I visit. It is just horrible.

Sorry, but I don't agree. I've never acted my age, and probably never will. I think one should act the age one feels, not some arbitrary age related behavior pattern dictated by the society in which one lives. If the casting is inappropriate, that is the casting director's fault, not the fault of the actor.

Well Bart you're right. People should be able to act whatever age they want to act. What I meant was that I agreed with Margot that the movie wasn't as good as the book because the part he played was meant for a much younger man. He has the right to play a part for a much younger man and I have the right to be turned off by it. :p lol

I think dry sence of humour means kind of quick and saying things with a stright face as though they don't matter. that kind of fits me.
People constantly find things i say funny even though they were not neccearly ment to be funny, more of an insane analogy of the situation.
I'm not very good an making jokes if i intend to, some things just come out.
There have been hundreds of indidents where I was kind of being serious and resulted in people getting a great laugh.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by kirk: [QB] I think dry sence of humour means kind of quick and saying things with a stright face as though they don't matter. that kind of fits me. Kirk...This brings to mind my senior year in high school--I was shocked to find out that I was up for "Wittiest Girl" for Senior Superlatives. I didn't win the title in the end, but,remember feeling honored that out of over 400 seniors, it was just me and one other girl nominated. I've always had a knack for blurting out the right thing at just the right time! On a side note, my brother had won "Best Looking" 2 years before and ALL the girls wanted to be my friend--luckily I was able to see right through them!

Linda,
I perceived "act your age" the same way.

Ditto what Edda said, Linda.
