Your ego is obviously bigger than your brain...
Why are you letting his career feed your ego?
(Or not feed it as the case may be now, since you are so hoplessly worried about his looks)
Honestly, you sound like a pitiful wanna be to me...
Frankly, it's just sickening...
I guess you need to find another pastime, because face it, he is the way he is...
He is a big (and might I say very yummy) man...
And if you don't like him, don't watch him, that would solve the problem, eh?
Go chop off your own foot...
Maybe then you would feel a little something about the human condition and become a little more understanding, and you would quit running around calling someone you supposedly admire a fat slug...
Sorry if I sound like a whiney little girl, but I think what you said was disgusting...
And Steven, if you read this, I love you, baby!
You are great!
TDWoj said:It sounds to me as if dscpotts feels only one person's opinion counts, and that is his own. Heaven forfend anyone should disagree with him... doing so means we're blind and stupid.
While I appreciate that you (dscpotts) are sincere in your desire for Steven to go back to doing what he was 13 years ago, it ain't going to happen. Steven looks old because he *is* old, dearie, and nothing is going to change that. And if he's doing less action and more acting in his films, I'm sure he's not doing so because his objective is to personally annoy you (although that is a possibility).
I've given my opinion elsewhere and at great length about the why's and why not's of Steven's martial arts work, so I won't take up space by writing it down here yet again. I, along with many others, am simply grateful that Steven is making any movies at all; and while I might want more of him making the moves, I'm perfectly happy seeing him in roles that don't require him to do so.
And a word to the wise, Pottsy: there's something to remember when engaging in discussion with others, and one disagrees with another's opinion. And that is, it's okay to disagree - goodness knows, I'm sure many here disagree with me, and I with them, but that doesn't stop any of us from sharing our thoughts and having some lively discussions thereby - but never - NEVER - launch a personal attack on the individual with whom you disagree. Being unhappy about Steven's fitness is one thing. Being nasty to the individual who defended her hero (and mine too, incidentally) and her right to disagree with you is something else. It isn't done. Not here. Not with our eagle-eyed moderators. Not if you want to stay and play with the rest of us.

MMCK2 said:Come on guys, don't lay into DcSpotts just because he asserted that Steven Seagal could do with losing weight before making "Under Siege 3". Ok, I admitt in some of his subsequent posts he was a bit tactless but I have to admitt, I can sympathise with him in regard to his views on Seagal's latest films -: you go in expecting to see some decent aikido/ass kicking, but instead you watch an overweight guy slap and weeze his way through badly edited, sped up fights which just pale in comparison to most of the stuff he made throughout the 1990's. I was impressed with "Exit Wounds"(2001), when he made an effort and got himself down to fighting size, but who here could list a single decent fight in "Ticker"(2001), "Half Past Dead"(2002) or "The Foreigner"(2003), for I know I could'nt.
Also, to whoever said that some people expect Seagal to always be like what he was at 39, this is'nt the case. I am taking into account he is a middle aged man and is therefore not as fit as he was when he was in his late thirties/early forties...BUT...why can Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Norris & Arnold Schwarzenegger still keep in shape and do a lot of their own fights when they are OLDER than Seagal (Norris is over 60!) Hell look also at Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin, Charlton Heston at that age, they could all keep in reasonably good shape. I have nothing against people putting weight on, but I do when I see an action star who I admire for his martial arts skills put on so much weight that he can't do his own fight scenes properly, your bloody right I will criticise it. I am being honest and am not being malicious.
What does wind me up are some of the females on this board who get their panties in a bunch when you make this honest observation about his weight. Your simply expected to hush this up and basically kiss up and say how great he is in most of your posts. Maybe this is because the ladies like him in a different way and for different reasons than the guys on the board but if i ever don't agree with something about him or his movies you better get used to the fact that i will bring it up.
I am sorry but that is my opinion and its doubtful you'll sway me from it in the the same way I can't sway the ladies from their love of him.
Peace.

Really? sarcasm you say...hmmSleeping Fox said:You might note that Nassau Mike was using sarcasm.
Amen to that. Even i am tiring of hearing about the weight issue. I would dearly like to see him much lighter for similair reasons to MMCK but if he stays the same, he does. I reckon 99% will still watch his stuff.Nassau Mike said:One things for certain: For a fat slug he can still kick all of our asses.
