  Re: How talentless IS...?
 
(...) 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 (...)

  Re: How talentless IS...?
 
(...) You left out Producer and Director... (...) Hey now. The Postman wasn't *dreadful*. 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. (...)

  Re: How talentless IS...?
 
(...) You also think the top less scene with Erika Eleniak was that movies greatest part huh? ,) Steven Segal, yes. Quite bad. But at least I saw the movies to the end, I don't know how many Jean Claude Van Dam movies I've turned off though... (...) (23 years ago, 23-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: How talentless IS...?
 
(...) I refuse to allow myself to think of Costner in those terms. (...) 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 (...)

  Re: How talentless IS...?
 
(...) The only good thing about Under Siege is Tommy Lee Jones. I should note that Segal is at least a better actor than the bimbo in that movie (damned with faint praise <g>). I liked Segal in Executive Decision - I got to cheer when he died! (...) (...) (23 years ago, 23-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Jones is always a treat. I don't think Ms. Eleniak did too badly, considering that the part was only written with two things in mind. 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)
 
  Re: How talentless IS...?
 
(...) I never saw the film but when it came out and it was on the movie review shows I remember really liking the fact that they killed him off right at the start of the movie :-) Steve (23 years ago, 23-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: How talentless IS...?
 
(...) I like the Postman, although it is quite different from the book and an awful load of parts are omitted. 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)
