After seeing the review on AINTITCOOL for OUT OF REACH, I understood what the reviewer was saying. The fact of the matter might be, that OUT OF REACH is a lousy movie (god forbid) but you know what...(and this might come as a shock to some people here)...STEVEN SEAGAL is a human being (gasp)
I know most of the lady-folk on this site, adore him. And he is a awesome aikido (amongst other arts) master. I personally think OUT FOR JUSTICE is one of my favourite (if not, the greatest) movies ever.
But i think that VERN made his points clear, and do you know what?....STEVEN is larger than he was years ago. And something else, he has (shock horror) made some bad pictures. And maybe the shoddiness of this picture (OUT OF REACH) is funny enough, to be considered laughable.
What's wrong with someone taking the p*ss out of STEVEN SEAGAL (he's actually a fan, as well!) STEVEN SEAGAL is big enough (no pun intended!) to take criticism. Rich enough, not to be bothered. And (as we all know) more than capable of fighting for himself.
I have been on this site (and the official site) for over 4 years now (or so) and i've never shyed away, from telling people (who genuinly hate SEAGAL) where to go. But i think it's time, that some, grew up, and stopped worshipping SEAGAL, for something he is not. Look beyond, what you didn't like about VERN's review, and see that he's a fan, who is not adverse to telling it like it is. Let's face it STEVEN SEAGAL movies are not high-art. Just enjoyable action movies, featuring someone (who as far as i'm concerned) is STILL the top in his field. But i too, can (and could) easily rip into the many faults of a typical STEVEN SEAGAL movie. But then, i'd have to be stupid, to have posted here 4+ years, and bought all of his movies, in every available format. Lampooning someone, doesn't mean you hate that someone. But pretty soon, posts here, will start to read "i like steven seagal"....followed by..."me too" I've read on other sites, that this site is populated by angry rednecks, who won't have a bad word said about SEAGAL. Now i know that isn't true. But have you ever thought that vern's review about the movie and SEAGAL's appearence, might be correct.
Surely it's time, to not settle for second best were STEVEN SEAGAL is concerned (i mean, if he makes bad films, let him know, before he makes others) and don't knock others for having opinions. Everyone on this site has a least favourite SEAGAL movie (mines the dreadful OUT FOR A KILL) but i'm sure some people like THAT movie.
I welcome you, VERN to this site (say what you want about STEVEN SEAGAL)
i've never seen another reviewer from another site, visit this one before and what does that tell you?
peace (oh, by the way, what i have written, is aimed at those who took VERN's comments the wrong way. If you didn't, then this matter does not concern/or is aimed at you)
