As I've already written this long post (almost an essay) about Mia on the Crimson Peak board, I wanted to share it here

Amen brother. What astounds me is how she gets so much work when she is so dreadful an actress?
You went out of your way to post this spiel on two different threads.
I don't care if you're not a fan yet it sounds like you've got some issues.
You four-eyed psycho. -

I never would say to anyone that they can't write their reply or comment under mine, or anyone else's, negative or positive - if I ever did, I was wrong.
You already did today in regard to jjparish by trying to attack him on the Crimson Peak board, so where is here the freedom of speech? As you are already familiar with, ImdB is a movie board, where people discuss acting skills, movies and their depths, so why do you always take the position of being Mia's lawyer, when people are expressing their opinions considering her "acting"?
Another behavior I totally think of immature is the immediate reaction to negative sensations that it is led by jealousy or worse, having another actor/actress in mind that could be seen as a competitor for her. This is exactly the moment when a discussion, or rather an argument loses its reliability and validity, because the person who discusses is not able anymore to find any arguments against the thesis of the other, so reproaches the other person with jealousy or sth similar. It is at first important to realize that there can be more reasons for someone's opinion, as I try to underline, not to be pigeonholed!
Apart from that, as I've already stated in my first post here, I really think that you should be aware for the future that not every praise or compliment is really meant, because you have to contemplate, whether this particular person normally compliments everyone, or is it an exception? As much as there are people out there who like to compliment to give the impression of being polite and nice, like "Hey, you look ravishing today" (That's a sentence by Hiddleston who loves to use it when he runs across sb), there are also people, like co-stars who do the same by praising acting skills or appearances to come out as a gentle person, especially in that moment when the other one, who is being complimented does usually get low criticism or no attention at all. I think I can give you that example: You are bad at math at school, but you are not a troublemaker. You are a calm lad who doesn't do naughty things, so your math teacher wants you to improve and become better, as he/she is also aware of you being an introvert and not having much friends. It is a kind of compassionate reaction. He/she often comes to you and praises very little correctly calculation methods. In this connection, the wrong assumption of that person would be to feel superior to the other ones in class who are all actually better in math and that actually, he isn't able to understand the intention of the special care by the teacher. That's how I consider the situation with Mia.
As I can recall from your youtube account, your age must be 23,so you are in a young, but productive age that shouldn't be conducted by a narrow-minded perception of human thoughts and speeches, as there could always be a variety of other things meant by assertions.
Moreover, I really think that you should consider your own life to be precious enough not to be targeted at playing Mia's lawyer on the internet, as you seem to spend your whole day thinking about her and commenting everywhere on the social media about her, as there is a difference between passion and obsession. -

First of all. Gothic_Maniac, I'm not 23 - far from it (LOL). Since you seem to be investigating me personally (something I avoid doing with others) you might want to know (I probably shouldn't go there, but I will) - I have two sons that share accounts with me, both in their 20's. If I'm guilty of immaturity, as you say, it can't be blamed on my chronological years. You're point about me sounding like an attorney may have some validity - it's something my wife has leveled at me when we're arguing a point, although we seldom are disrespectful of each other (personal again), but we've achieved that over a long marriage. As opposed to being an actual attorney, however, I'm a musician and lover of the arts. You seem to also have a passion for Mia, but of a negative nature. I would say that Mia has become a real muse for me, a source of inspiration, through her talent, her integrity, and the quality of her films - I feel she's unique and embodies truth and beauty, which are what I find most inspirational in life, and also in art.

I feel pity for your wife and your fami5b4ly then that you spend your whole day commenting on the social media about her, instead of spending time with them
How doesn't she get jealous?
You really don't sound like a mature man, or rather a father of a family, at all, and this shouldn't be read as an insult, by no means, just a remark that you maybe want to know!
Calling my trenchant critcisim about her a "passion"well, it's probably not that strong, but I better don't elaborate on that, however, it makes me upset to watch those movies that I'm interested in and she doesn't do well in them, as I've a very strict notion in regard to what a good actor should master - showing different emotions with facial expressions and their voice, accents and vividness.
Anyways, thank you for being so open about your personal life, I didn't want to be intimidating, but I really got creepy feelings about your behavior here, especially when I'd read your comment about Mia's surname, that you thought of it as poetic
I must say that you give me quite a turn!
My life equally consists of literature, art, theater and movies. The reason why I analyze human beings in regard to speeches, appearances and writing style(as I did with you) is that I studied psychology, before I'd studied English literatu111cre and now work as a lecturer of English studies. The human psychology is an interesting thing, as one's foibles can determine inspirations for what one craves.
Have a good day! -

HA. Actually, my wife is also a big Mia fan, ever since "Jane Eyre", which we both thought was absolutely brilliant (she's not jealous, at all). Last night we watched the "Crimson Peak" blu-ray together - and LOVED it.
I suppose I should be grateful that you've made the effort to research and "analyze" me, and free of charge at that - not that I think THAT'S creepy. I also have a degree in psychology, by the way (actually not kidding), but I find I have enough to handle with looking at myself these days - trying to figure out how other people should live and what they should do with their time, is something I now stay away from - ESPECIALLY on the internet, LOL. But you know passion is a word that describes strong feelings - it can be positive or negative, it works both ways.
My wife also loves "Tracks" - such a beautiful and poetic film - and a great performance from M.W.
