All I keep on reading about is "congratulations to Russell Crowe" or "what a great job Russell Crowe is doing....". Russell Crowe doesn't need to hear more people sucking up to him. He KNOWS that he is an outstanding actor and that he does a great job. Why? Because he knows who he is and what he expects from himself. He doesnt need anyone to remind him of it. If you know what you are doing and you are satisfied with the work that you have done (and are presently doing), who cares what others think. To hell with criticism, even if it is constructive!

What a strange thing to say.Everybody needs to hear nice comments on the work they do, particularly people who give so much of themselves to entertain and give other people a good time. If nobody said anything they would soon feel insecure, they need positive response to what they do, no matter how famous and gifted they are. Actually I think appreciation and applause are two very important factors in an artist's life, also for Russell Crowe. I do not at all think that he is so blasi that he doesn't like praise and admiration.

I agree that Russell has done a good job and that people should be told when they do good, but the fact remains that the media does enough of that. The people speak and let him know that he is a great actor when the proof is in the awards that he receives. In the statement that I made earlyer I might of not phrased it well enough for others to understand......in a plane and simple term, the man doesn't need any ass kissing going on. Now that he is famous, he gets plenty of that. There is no need to constantly be reading about it.....it can give you cavities.

As a matter of fact I know a few artists myself, not actors, but musicians. And believe it or not, the more gifted the artists are, the more they need to hear that they did a good performance.But I agree with you that an Oscar Award is confirmation enough, and maybe Russell doesn't care about what other people think of his acting/music, but seriously I think he cares.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion just like the media. Focusing on Russell, when the media chooses to speak or write about him, it always tends to be at first very, very negative; then the man wins an oscar which was long time deserved and suddenly, the media is his new best friend and so are much of the hypocritical "fans" out their who probably never heard of him before that. The fact is, that not only happens with Russell but with many other celebrities also. I guess that is the price that you pay when you choose to live your life in front of the world... it comes with the career. To end this part, why cant people use equilibrium when they choose to write or to speak? Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing (going both ways). Last but not least, is the film still shooting?

What is the point of writing these messages? Who reads them anyways? Just the fans? Or does the actors, directors, or producers read them also? Anyways, don't think that I am always negative about things but I think that this is just a waste of time. Nobody ever really posts a message with the intent for "just" the fans to read. I think that in our hearts we really want the people who we are writing about to read them also. Lets face it...that will never happen. They don't have the time that we do to sit down and read about themselves and respond to other's opinions.

Just for the record, I think that we are all wasting our time posting memos that will never be heard nor remembered the way that we intended them to be.

That brings me to the real question, do actual actors, producers, directors, etc., read these posts???

Who cares if the actors, producers or directors read what people say about them here. This is a way for fans or critics to take their turn expressing their feelings & comments.
I love Russell & now that we have that ugly episode that happened between him & "that man" last year. He is a great actor & I do not mind saying so.

In reply to ckcswhffan, even though you say that every ordinary person writes just to be a critic or have their own tern in say, I really don't believe that is true 100%. There might be as little as a 1% that while you are writing, hopefully the person whom you are writing about will read the post. If you just want to really talk about a celebrity without them reading it, just because you want your moment to be a critic, you just might as well go in a chat room or instant message anybody, if that was really the case. Don't think that I am a negative individual, because I'm not. I'm just realistic.
And to reply to vampshadoe, so they might of read a couple, but did they get to reply? Even if it was just a comment, did they get a chance to say Thank You? You say that they got to read a couple of good questions, but what about the bad ones? i.e. "boxers or briefs?" People ask because they want to be heard. I'm not here criticize anybody, I'm just posting to "voice my opinion".

I think that the stars and director either occasionally read or have one of their assistants read through the internet info on themselves. One of Russell Crowe's(who I have been a fan of since "The Quick and the Dead")people specifically asked some fans which websites they were using so that they could check them out.

Ana replied to my message, I will reply to that. I live in the United States of America. We have such a thing as free speech in this country. Why can't regular people comment or give their views? They do it on TV here on news programs ALL DAY LONG!! I will exercise my rights & comments when I want to comment!!

As a comeback to ckcswhffan in self-defense, you totally missed the point to my original reply to you. In no way was I talking about the freedom of speech. Of course WE ALL have it...that is why I'm writing this. If you read my reply maybe one more time, you might get the point.

Ana seems to have a problem if others speak their mind. I live in the United States & we have a Constitution that says we are entitled to free speech. And, after 9-11-01 all of us here in the US understand how great it is here that we can speak freely & think our own thoughts. Maybe you should open your mind for once & if "that man" reads what I wrote, I say "who cares & fix your appearance."

Is ckcswhffan reading right???? It seems that you are responding to something that might have offended you and it must involve me. As long as you are trying to trash me, will you at least have the decency to let me know the reason why it is you are being down right nasty? ( Right back at you.) If you are going to respond to a message, it is better if you at least know what you are talking about. You might just want to pretend. Not everyone knows what you are thinking. For future reference, I am an american also, and you have no right bringing into any conversation what happened on Sept. 11 just to make your point. You are using it in vain, and in my book, that is lack of judgement.

Sorry but how cum all you ppl have animals as icons?

The media seems to be swelling around Crowe. I think that although people need to be encouraged and supported in their job, if they are overly supported they will become big-headed and up-nosed. He knows his abilitys are, and so does everyone else, but do we need to rub it in?
