Seth Green sounded like...


quite a smug little jerk when asked about the death of Amanda Peterson.

"Funny--I hadn't spoken to her in over twenty years. It's hard for me to have, like, any realistic opinion about it."

That guy's always struck me as a mouthy little turd, and a talentless troll. I'm glad in this movie his character was just a prop for all the funniest scenes ie getting farted on and passing out from the smell and then getting make up stuffed in his face by Cindy. One of the funniest scenes is when both his parents say "shut up, Chuck!". I'd bet anything the guy was the same character in real life, just an annoying little Sh!t.

Death by stereo

Yes. This.

It's just a shame to me, because he knows damned well how well-loved this movie and Amanda's character are to millions, and he so nonchalantly shrugged off what happened. I guess if nothing else, I have to kind of appreciate his candor. He could have tried ingratiating himself to the film's fans, but he showed a (brutally) honest side of himself. So, props, I guess?

Yeah, there's a word for people who are like that - a$$hole.

He was my C.O. in Nam. CIA listed him as MIA but the V.A. ID'd his M.O. and put out an APB.

Amen.

What the hell is a realistic opinion about somebody's death? All he had to say was what any normal human being would say. How it's tragic and all that

reply

It is obvious they never kept in touch after the film. I don't see anything wrong with his answer. If you are not close with someone, why have an opinion?

reply

I don't think anybody was asking for a 10 thousand word monologue documenting her entire life story and history of their friendship. What does anybody say when somebody is asked about somebody passing? you simply say you're sorry. It's not that complex.

Apparently none of you listened to the video. He said it was hard for him to have any realistic opinions about her health problems because he hadn't spoken to her in over 20 years. "Other than being sad she died obviously" was the next statement. Maybe it wasn't the most heartfelt response but it wasn't the way this thread framed it.
