Thank You Jiles

Nothing better can be added to what you have already stated.

As you said – some people clearly have way too much time on their hands!

O for crying out sideways, for once somebody writes something nice about the guy and you haters just can’t even leave THAT alone. Now you’re even tearing apart what is written about the man for God’s sake. Too bad you wasted so much time writing such a long piece when clearly Fraser doesn’t give a rat’s a** what you think. Man, I hate it when the media reports on other media. Talk about self-aggrandizement .

I have no opinion about Brendan Fraser, but the writing in this piece is gagworthy. Did Collis actually write “he buckled his swash?” That is just . . . skeevey.

Plus, he helped a person with a broken leg into a car? There’s some timing. Did he rescue a puppy and put out a trash fire on the way to hail a cab, too?

I also think it’s funny that he pairs Fraser’s “legendary” congeniality with his uncanny ability to act with CGI characters. So he’s nice to green screens? Way to go.

Those “golden rules” are a scoop, too. Very profound.

Alas, I have a strange fondness for Brendan Fraser. Not enough to have seen any of the Mummy movies or Monkeybone, but I have seen George of the Jungle and can’t keep myself away from Bedazzled if I happen across it on cable. Yes, I know there is something seriously wrong with me.

(His work on “Scrubs” is amongst my favorite of his – he may not be a fantastic actor, but he is, for the most part, very natural and believable in the work that I have seen him in. That goes a long way with me, which is why I will watch his acting over Keanu’s any day of the week.)

Even I say this article is, as you say, just one big print blow job. Not always a bad thing in itself, but don’t try to pass it of as an investigative article.

I just hope Collis cleaned up after he was done – public blow jobs are the messiest of all.

(So I’ve heard.)

I don’t mind Brendan Fraser as much as you do. Granted, I was pretty young when I saw movies like The Mummy, The Mummy+scorpion monster, and Blast from the Past, but I did enjoy them (I can imagine that Blast from the Past may have been an awful movie, but I back then I adored Alicia Silverstone too much to care). I actually find he comes across as fun and affable, and that does seem to fit the roles he plays in these big blockbusters.
That said, you’re right to comment on the fluffy fluffness of this article. I haven’t seen anything he was in… well, since Crash – mostly because he’s been in movies that looked incredibly generic and, for lack of a better word, lame. And to suddenly consider him a prestige actor? Based on Gods and Monsters, and Crash? The article doesn’t just forget to justify its claims… I think it makes claims that are actually unjustifiable.
