About firefighters in Az. I was an extra and there was a lull where he was chatting with us and I mentioned how I liked the preview for "Bleed For This." "Thanks, man." Ah, well, kind of neat.
sharelucky of you, he looks a very nice guy, contray to what some have been whispering...
shareVery serious and probably a bit full of himself (I would be too if I were working with Jeff Bridges and Josh Brolin like in this film), but friendly enough for a brief chat. Glad I had the nerve to do it!
shareI'm really glad you created this thread ... nice to see some positive objectivity.
Because of so many comments (many other threads) about how ugly this guy is (a ridiculous premise for hating someone, but there you are) and how pretentious and 'full of himself' Teller is, I watched about half of one live interview and personally - this young man is simply a confident person who had the good fortune of a good upbringing.
These are character assets millions of young people can no longer understand or remotely identify with.
So when a young man such as Teller can realistically articulate his view of himself, it translates to conceit for most of those in his age group...
Pretty sad that so many people can only really
identify with self-deprecation & low self-esteem so they expect everyone to display those traits - except when they can anonymously, such as on Imdb, put-down a confident young person's personal acheivments by condemning him - apparently to make themselves feel better.
If Teller got 15 minutes of fame on some U-Tube video doing somethin' cool, or completely assinine while drunk - well, everyone would be down with that . . .
But they see a guy who is answering interview questions with lucid, reasoned answers so He must be a 'pretentious douche' . . . and because he got a good fame-break even tho he looks like a regular guy . . .
Some of the kids here (and other public forums) gotta figure out how to gotta grow up, read some books, see the world, and gain some learnin' on the differences between true & false confidence, true & false humility, and most importantly, such an education would bring the ultimate gain: to stop condemning others.
There's so much more interesting things to see, do, and read here about movies & actor's than negative thread after thread, & negative comment after comment full of these dumb kids erroneous opinions of one guys 'looks' & the alleged personality of someone they have never even met much less spent enough time with to really know as a person . . .
(Edited to correct a few spelling errors - I guess that makes me prententious too 😄
I like his work and liked Whiplash, in particular. However, I don't believe anyone can gain any insight into someone from film roles or interviews. Many people who actually know one another don't really know each other when push comes to shove -so how could they possibly know a stranger? Thinking one has insight into a film star is just projection (what we want them to be based on our own values) and ego ("I am such a great judge of character and so wise I can tell from an interview whether someone is nice or rotten.") I'm not picking on you - the entire film and tv industry is based on audiences attributing characteristics to actors - I just don't believe there is any litmus test for determining whether someone is naughty or nice based on a film role or a brief, one-time exchange.
shareYep,that's so true.
shareHey miles mom!
shareLOL!! Doc! ?
(Not his mom, but I am a mom)
Mike, exactly right!
Yea doc a common abbreviation for doctor you dumb kunt!
shareThe question mark was a typo.
The name calling was completely uncalled for . . . since you're obviously a person of very little education - you should remove Doc from your name.
Meanwhile, ridiculous comments like yours are part of the reason this board is being taken down . . .
