Fantastic in Abigail


I went and saw Abigail today. The enchanting and lovely Alisha Weir is fantastic and delightful in the film. She is a real star and I could hardly take my eyes off her. I hope she does more horror films in the future.

Yikes.

FFS.

You didn't like her performance?

reply

FFS.

reply

Good talk. Way to communicate and explain your position. You have sure convinced me!

reply

I'm not talking about her performance and you know it.

reply

You don't think she seems like a delightful and lovely person?

reply

I don't think about little girls' personalities.

reply

That's fine for you. She is an actor playing a role, not just a little girl.

reply

She is still a little girl underneath the part of her that likes to pretend to be other people that don't really exist.

reply

She is a teenage girl, which is irrelevant to my comments about her performance. She has star power, charm and charisma and is a good actor. I think it is fine to comment on any actor's performance or acting abilities.

reply

Her acting isn't her personality.

reply

I know that, but she seems like she has a nice personality, which makes her a likeable person.

reply

You think a lot more.

reply

Yes, she did a great job in both of the films I have seen her in.

reply

And you think she's pretty.

reply

I'm obviously not going to date either one. Saying someone is pretty doesn't mean you want to date them. Ryan Gosling is a handsome, charming man and a fine actor, but I don't want to date him.

reply

Who said anything about dating?

reply

Daft_Munks did. He edited his post after I replied.

He admitted he edited and then deleted his post. Something fishy going on here and it's not you, BNP.

reply

It sounded dumb so I deleted it.
But yes it's true I deleted the post.

reply

Oh c'mon, BNP said nothing untoward. This looks like a gang-up on a perfectly innocent post about an actress. One guy even edited his post after BNP replied to make it look shady. That's creepy.

What is the point of MovieChat pages for child actors if every response is going to be labeled as inappropriate due to age?

I hate kids. But if they're acting, their careers are open to scrutiny, positive or negative.

reply

What if a person commenting comments on a lot of underage girls profiles and seems a bit obsessed with them?

reply

"She is such a beautiful young lady. I bet she is going to be a gorgeous teen and adult as she grows up."

Here is one of his tame posts but was still called out on the replies for his post history.

reply

There is nothing wrong with commenting on their performances. It's when people start commenting on their looks that it gets negative feedback.

BNP has a history of commenting on underage actresses and whilst his post here maybe doesn't cross your threshold of inappropriateness, his history means any untoward comment will cause a backlash. He has had several posts over the years that cross the line for many and when taken with all the other posts that are veering towards inappropriateness he doesn't get much leeway from many users on here.

Many people on this site like him and his posts in general but I think pretty much everyone wishes he would stop talking about young girls in such a manner. Calling a 14 year old lovely and saying you can't take your eyes of her is enough to raise the eyebrows of most.

The enchanting and lovely Alisha Weir is fantastic and delightful in the film. She is a real star and I could hardly take my eyes off her.

reply

dead on point here. this guy needs repaired.

reply

how much flack do you need for you to finally realize how fucked up this is? Pages and pages and pages from a large variety of people basically saying SEEK HELP. When are you going to get the point?

We're telling you DEAD POINT STRAIGHT ON that it's wrong and all you do is keep trying to justify it over and over and OVER. "I'm not doing anything wrong..." We are telling you that you are. Plain, simple, direct.
And we never change our tune.

Pointing it out in public is you asking for help. It's quite obvious. Otherwise you'd shut up and enjoy "liking" all the pretty young things that are free all over instagram, facebook, etc where you don't have to point it out to others.

It's WRONG. Seek help.

reply

Unfortunately we've had this issue rear it's head over and over again for over a year now.

I think it's his sheer stubbornness and defence of himself in the face of what must be 10+ users on here telling him what he's saying is inappropriate that baffles everyone. I'm not sure if and when he'll accept that a grown man shouldn't be commenting on young girls in the manner that he does.

I do wonder if he freely talks like this about young actresses to his friends and family in real life. Something makes me think he doesn't because surely if he spoke like this in real life someone at some point would have had a heated discussion with him.

He must know that it's not socially acceptable to talk like this and that makes you ask why he keeps on doing it on this site.

I've tried turn a blind eye to his posts like this because it's not worth getting worked up about and the moderators seem to see no issue so what can you do?

I'm not sure it's a cry for help so much as some sort of compulsion where he feels a strong desire to comment on how cute he finds them.

reply

this guy doesn't grasp how internet functions.... IP addresses, switches, tracking, ISP legal obligations....

reply

I understood how the internet functions, considering I work in tech support. I'm not doing or condoning doing anything illegal online so ISP legal obligations are completely irrelevant. Saying a pretty teen movie star is pretty is not illegal.

reply

At this point dont you think he's just doing it to rile people up?

reply

Probably, but hey it keeps me amused.

reply

That is the only sane reason.
This is the same guy that had to make a new account after the last beat down he got about this.

reply

What I don't understand is why delete the account and continue to do all that nonsense.

reply

"Some men just want to watch the world burn."

[IE just crazy]

reply

Or boredom.

reply

Well that shoots my theory down. If he was trying to rile people up he wouldnt have deleted his account.

reply

She was very good in the movie.

She did well at taming her Irish accent, that's something that's difficult for many actors and especially for children who aren't as experienced.

reply

She did a great job. She reminded me a bit of Kirsten Dunst's performance in "Interview With A Vampire".

reply

Yes - a natural actor. Let's hope growing up doesn't take that away from her. Reminds me of Natalie Portman in The Professional.
