She sounds kind of bitchy

You hit it on the head King. I thought she was real good in the Ginger Snaps movies and Freddy Vs Jason (although I hate girls like the one she played), but badmouthing opportunities that come your way isn't the best career move.
And I never said she was American. I was commenting on the statement, "and you dont think those skanky american actresses arnt bitchy?" I know she's from Canada.
She should be more grateful that she's getting jobs. There are thousands of actors out there who don't even get a shot. And comparing being on TV to working at McDonalds is stretching it a bit. TV isn't a minimum wage job. She probably gets paid pretty good for it.
Charlie did it. You do believe me don't you daddy? -

I think the point of her statements is that acting is not the dream job people think it is and that it's not as glamorous as people think it is. She's not being bitchy she's just talking about what acting is really like.

I've only seen part of it a couple of times
This was evident when you said:
Smallville is for little kids and middle school girls.
Look, I apologize if I'm being over-defensive, but this attitude really pisses me off. Please do not bash what you know nothing about. I know all the hardcore Superman purists love to bash "Smallville" just because it's on the WB, and it's more dramatic, and whatever, but if you actually watched the show to any great extent, you might realize that it's an excellent, well-written show, with great acting, great storylines, interesting takes on the characters, and if I may be frank, much less cheese than your typical superhero story. Hey, I love the original Superman as much as anyone, but the whole cheesy costumes and cheesier banter ("And now to use my heat vision!" No really? We couldn't tell by looking!) just gets kinda silly, and it's nice to see a more mature take on it.
And I'm not a little kid, a middle school girl, or even a teenager. I'm a 26 year old male who appreciates great, well-written television. And I know a large variety of people (y5b4oung and old) who watch and love the show, so for you to stereotype the viewers (not to mention making childish remarks about their physical appearance), and to make disparaging comments after seeing only part of one episode makes you look ignorant, foolish, and more than a little bit like an ass. You are of course entitled to your opinion, but if you want to come here and debate something, you'd better be able to back your beep up.
And once again, regarding the original thread topic, no one here is trying to say that Katharine is a bad person, or anything. We are merely saying that she comes off a bit arrogant, and that she could perhaps use a little perspective. That is all. It was one remark. Who knows, she may now regret saying it, and realize it didn't make her look so good. For her sake, I hope so. But nonetheless, you still have to be held accountable for the things you say. That's just the way it is. -

Ok, you really need to stop talking. You're just embarrassing yourself. Did you even read what I said? Stop being so defensive, and either make some effort to participate in the discussion like an intelligent person, or just stop this. There is no reason for you to behave like his, or to resort to personal attacks. I stated very clearly that no one is trying to put her down, or say that she's a bad person. You could very clearly have figured that out from my previous post, had you applied any type of reading comprehension skills. You have not understood a single word that anyone in this thread has said.
And if a trivial discussion like this is really ruining your life, then I am certainly not the one who needs to get one. I am a 26 year old college graduate with a job and a steady girlfriend, so I can assure you that this discussion ranks low in what is important in my life. And speaking of this discussion, I think it ran its course a long time ago, so unless you want to further prove that you have the reading comprehension skills of a 4-year-old, then I would like to insist that you just let this thread die. Everyone's said all that needs to be said, so if you still don't understand, then just let it go. Just be assured that things are not as bad as you seem to think they are, and don't allow that life of yours to be "ruined" any further. -

Actually, I'd be really interested to hear what she had to say on this subject. It'd be nice to hear her explanation of those comments, and to give further insight to us. Yeah, we don't know her, but then neither do you, so obviously this is getting us nowhere. So unless she one day reads this, and shows up to defend herself, I think we're about done here.
easy there buddy, i didnt write that lol my friend did soo cool the jets
No worries.

where she makes her movies has nothing to do with it, its cheaper to shoot up here in canada there are countless movies with huge stars filmed in van every year.
And as for her bitchiness, who cares, you either like her acting or you dont, sure i'd love to see her naked but at least shes not doing nude scenes to try and make a name for herself. -

she SHOULD show more grace as far as hving to "cra7ecppy" TV roles.
her agent is to blame for that, plus if she has a no nudity clause in her contract then trying to get her nekkid should be considered a violation of that clause. personally she one of those girls who prob looks better naked in your mind..actually seeing it and running the risk of seeing shes not as hot as u imagined? lol
Remeber Jamie leigh Curtis kept her boobs covered until she made it big so it is possible for a girl to go places without showing skin. and honestly is showing skin really as big a thing now as it used to be? only the very low budget stuff relies on sex scenes any more
She doesnt sound bitchy just disillusioned.. she may have to accept her future will be doing the convention circuits
though she may still get lucky and land a hot tv role.. i bet the stars of LOST are making more money and more regular money than if they only did the occasional movie shes a jobbing actress many of us have an affection for due to her accesible looks and appearance in a couple of cult movies -

I was just about to say the same thing but then I saw this post.
Don't get me wrongI like herI really do. But her attitudeehh..
There's a saying that a lot of good actors say "Television will make you rich. Movies will make you famous. Theater will make you good."
If she hates those shows so much she shouldn't do them. If she's so great then she wouldn't have to rely on those beep tv epsiodes to pay bills. No offense. I know she's popular with some peopleWhy else would be here? But she really hasn't made a big name for herselfyet..
I'm sorryshe does need to get over herself. -

bellabeaton — 20 years ago(September 01, 2005 01:45 AM)With regard to her comment about Canadian indie films versus tv shows, I think you're wrong to call her arrogant. It's probably partially a Canadian thing, but there's a general desire to see a more flourishing independent cinema up here. Sure, we make great films, but the audience for Canadian independent film is too small to support actresses, and the government doesn't make it lucrative enough (although they do give grants, certainly). I agree it sounds arrogant, but it's probably political.

I don't find what she said arrogant at all, just real. It's like striving hard to get promoted at work, only to find once you start climbing the ladder to where you want to be, finding yourself being demoted instead. Wouldn't you be annoyed by it.
An actor's got to work, and it must be tough when you find yourself actually making a name for yourself then having to take a step back. Try to put it in perspective before your judge. -
