 | | How talentless IS Steven Segal —Steve Lane
|
| | | With all this anti - Micheal Crichton bile going around I can't help thinking that we should fix Steven Segal's wagon first. Is their a martial artist with less acting talent and a worse on-screen persona than him? I wouldn't like to see their films (...) (23 years ago, 22-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

| | | | | (...) Possibly. I am not sure who, though. Remember it's much easier to name someone the "best so far" because the best tend to rise to be visible, but the worst fortunately (in most cases anyway) stay obscure. (...) I have, unfortunately, seen some (...) (23 years ago, 22-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

The part that I like most is "these stupid things occurred while filming" part that at the end of most of his films. Do you see the one with a very big (...)

| | | | | (...) Steve, I think you posted to the wrong group. This group is for debates--NOT undeniable truths! Segal is so unbelievably awful that the best thing you can say about him is that Under Seige didn't suck quite as bad as his other films, but Segal (...)

It could have been a LOT better, mind you, as anyone who read the book would attest, but it wasn't as bad a mangle of a good book as Starship Troopers was. (...)

Costner fails more spectacularly than Segal is allowed to because Costner presumes more spectacularly than Segal is allowed to. I understand that On Deadly Ground (what was (...)

Actually I generally like the plots like "hey people, lets unite and save the world" kind. Do you remember the old TV series Visitors (I (...) (23 years ago, 24-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Anyway, it's not like the role (or the film) allowed deep character development. (...) I couldn't remember (...) (23 years ago, 23-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
