No more bashing of ORANGATUANG or any other member.
Everyone on this site is entitled to their opinion, but we won't tolerate personal attacks so cut it out.

Speaking as someone who got to meet him last summer, reading all of this makes me feel so glad the two people who REALLY cared and REALLY do like Steven were the ones chosen to meet him. I know there are other fans like myself that were just as deserving of the opportunity.

Bottom line is, guys...this is a FREE COUNTRY. You are not in a "relationship" with Steven Seagal...so you don't have to give him some weird "ultimatums" to adhere to or "lose you forever"

Just like in a relationship, either accept him how he is, like I and many others on here do, or move on already.

Wow. You're arrogance astounds me. Maybe you don't realise this but you come across as so very arrogant in you're post. So are you saying that you and you're friend are the only ones who care about Seagal? Are you saying that the rest of us don't care about Seagal? We all write these posts about Seagal and how he can help and improve his career because we don't care? Is that what you're really saying? I know you say there are other fans that were deserving of meeting Seagal but you say they should be like you! That just seems to say that only opinions like yours are valid. How incredibly offensive. I'm not sure if you realise but that's not really how a forum works. It's because I care about Seagal that I take my time to write these posts because I want things to be better.

On the topic of meeting Seagal I think it's a real shame that fans with more balanced views were not chosen to meet him instead of people who clearly think he can do no wrong. I know if I had met him I would have told him how great his early films were but also told him exactly what I think of his recent films and the way his career is currently going. In fact that's exactly what my ex-girlfriend did when she met him and be wasn't at all offended in fact he just laughed about it.

You're right, none of us are in a relationship with Seagal it is a free country. However in a way he does need us as fans and will struggle if he doesn't have us. After all if no one buys his films then they won't get made anymore that's the bottom line. So us trying to tell him that what he's being giving us up to now isn't acceptable is a natural part of that. None of us want to waste out money on something inferior from him when we know he can do better. After all you don't keep going back to an award winning restaurant if they keep serving you horrible food that makes you sick now do you? Instead you tell the restaurant what the problem is so they can fix it. And if they don't then you find a new restaurant to go to. It's pretty simple.

If I was in a relationship with someone like Seagal who is capable of greatness but who never lives up to that, who never seems to listen to advice or want to change then that relationship would be over.

Oh and by the way BarbaraAnn101, you've not got the authority to tell me to move on so I will be sticking around for a long while yet.

None of this dosent really matter now. Seagal hasent made any good movies in years since he got fat. Atleast now we can save our money :D

That's very true Boyd. It's been a long time since Seagal's last decent film and he shows no signs of changing any time soon. In these financially hard times not buying a Seagal film is a lot easier decision to make now.

Haven't checked in here for a while but sad to see the change in tone. I appreciate the opinions, and I can see how people might have come to the conclusion to stop supporting Seagal's work, but I think a call for a 'boycott' undermines the many great films that he has shared previous.

I will agree without any reservations regarding the decrease in quality of output over the last 10 years or so, the unnecessary body doubles, voice dubbing and so on, but I'll stop well before a comment like "fat belly", because that is what used to separate a place like this for constructive discussion from sub forums of other actors or film franchises.

If this is how the tone of forum is going to be, why bother? Just shut the forum down.

I agree ben85. I agree.

My response was in regards to this notion of a "boycott". I have never said nor claimed that Steven Seagal could "do no wrong"....I have been on this forum going off about voice overs and shaky camera migraine/seizure inducing camera shots...just to name a couple of things.

If I come across as arrogant, that was not my intention.

I cringe at the thought that some of the members of this forum would speak to Steven in person in the same manner that they speak on this forum.

THAT is where you find the arrogance and disrespect.

You are the one who needs to accept that alot of people here has a different opinion than you, and if you cant accept that people have a different opinion than you, then you might as well move on. Becouse we are not gonna change our opinion becouse of you.

Also there is a reason Seagal's numbers have gone down alot the last 10 -12 years, and thats becouse he stopped caring about his fans and only caring about his fat wallet and belly instead.

I think we can conclude after all these post that we agree to disagree.

Now let's stop pointing fingers at each other.

We all want to keep on enjoying Seagal movies. We may differ in what we find acceptable to enjoy.

But nobody can deny that if Seagal gets a bit more in shape and wouldn't be so negative about fellow actors, like he was in that interview recently, he would have more change at parts like in Machete.

Or even a leading role in a bigger budget (perhaps even cinematic) movie.

Peace

Hello ghuys & gals, long time no see....

Um, following up to these 2 posts that I'm replying to.... um, has anyone checked out our beloved SS's wikipedia page? you know... the part where it lists upcoming movie projects?

Maybe it's my imagination, but I could SWEAR that the latest movie project says: "2015 Under Siege 3 - Plane Danger" :D

I think the bashing against S/S is sad, especially on his site. You few morons have the nerve to state "your" opinions. I like S/S's movies, and don't think he's too heavy at all. I was just thinking how good he looked since he's married his Asian wife, and how she must be taking good care of him. It's nice your egos are so big that you think you matter in the scheme of things, but unfortunately you are not the gold standard of the world. And gay men have a much "thinner" standard of men than women do. I do not like men who are bone skinny. But then I don't judge people by their outter appearance to that extent either. I think if you're that shallow you yourselves have some work to do on your brains, and yourselves. There is a lot more in life than superficial lust. I am sad that I haven't been here forever and come and see such shallow crap. Grow up.
