Why do people like ask A/H/W(age/height/weight) to start a conversation? I don't think the former two are privacies but the last one is - I am not a kid any longer.
Oh yeah, a friend told me she always get those at chatroulette, it is very ridiculous to ask something like that. Why would you have to know someone's age or height to be friends and indeed weight is the stupist one of them all. Just ignore, stupid people.

Thank you both for responding,how did i miss this thread earlier. I expect so, Roxy, because I have done alot silly stuff unintentionally like that, I rely on people's good virtue sometimes,but just feel a little tired of it. My friends wouldnt AHW me, Eva,they are my relatives, teachers and friends of my family, or the elder generation i mean. IIRC, I told someone that I was 138 cm and my weight was 250 jin(2 jin is equal to 1 kg),I thought she got the point because most Chinese people hate these two figures, and guess what? She asked me if I was 183, and 125 in weight, it was a bit much to expect her to get my age right
Oh sorry Tues I didn't ment friends do that to you sorry if I made it sound like that! But I know what you mean. Oh yeah, that is indeed pretty stupid of her that she didn't got that! but I think AHW is just something stupid in general

I agree. I do get a bit offended when people ask, how old I am... What does that matter?
I just watched one of the "movie news" shows in german. They had also reviews of the newest movies. And, of couse, GR-SOV was on. And, they gave a really bad review! They say, that the first one was bad, and the second one is worse, but the action is kind of ok. (in their opinion). They say, that he makes those bad movies, because he needs that money to repay his depts (bla, bla, bla). And, that GR is also a bad movie. (Of course, everyone here knows, that this isn`t true). And, they also showed, how his hairdoes changed over the years. Wtf, does they always make such a fuzz of his hair? They really don`t get it! Why does they always say such stupid things about him! I really thought, they would make a positive review of that movie! At first, I was really happy, because I thought, this would be good, but I got disapointed! I hate those Nic-haters!

Me too, Lady R! It is upsetting, and I don't really hate them, just feel they are missing out by not being open to the experience. I think many people are so used to being told what to think that they have lost the art of making up their own mind. Sheep, baa-baa.
I don't read or watch reviews of any movies much anymore before the fact, because I have found it may colour my experience too much; and afterwards I don't want anyone raining on my parade!
As for critics, what did Nic say in one of his recent interviews, they just don't get it, or something like that. Too bad for them.
Lady R and Lady T, you are sooooo right on, regarding this issue. They just don't get it. Better yet, I think they just don't want to 'get it'.
But, as i've said before, most moviegoers could care less about what critics say. The critics panned the Twilight movies, but yet and still, the movies made millions at the box office. And most didn't like either Ghost Rider, but the first was profitable, which brought us the 2nd Ghost Rider, and this one will also be very profitable, which will hopefully spawn a 3rd GH, with Nic Cage in the driver's seat as well.
Oh I agree they are just (sorry to say it) but just stupid! There is no need to make fuss about his hair, it is great in every movie and it makes him unique, he at least isn't such a typical person that always looks the same, but people seem to unlike everything that is difrent than theirselves, it is just pathetic how they talk about him. Ghost rider is totaly great I even don't have to see it to know that!

I totally agree with you all! Maybe, the job description for movie-critics seems to include the "rule": Make as much bad reviews as possible! lol And, yes, indeed eva, he is really unique! :)

He is the most unique and wonderfull actor ever bin, there are people who like other actors wich is completely normal, and it is normal that you might not like him so much, but it is undenieable that he is a good in what he does, but clearly only the people who felt his magic know that, the people who say he can't might never know what they miss.

It sucks...There is no such junk on my telly because Nic is marvellously loved by SARFT of China and CCTV lol. Anyway, being a Cagiac is a noble thing, so I don't hate those naysayers who only have eyes for critics(as what I learned from an old interview yesterday) you just have nothing to do with Nic detractors, since we even don't have a clue about when did they land on our planet, but there is no law against the existence of them. In my opinion, Nic has gone from huge-success-to-titanic-success in his three decades movie career, it turns out that Nic's prodigious performance has been striking a chord with both the terrans and extraterretrials. Lo and behold, I do think Nic is a complete knockout and honeypot in any hairstyles he have chosen. There are many money-hungers in this world, but it holds no ground that Nic is among them. If I recall correctly, Nic haters even say Nic want to get lots of publicity from doing humanitarian work
Thank you, Tues, for sharing your opinion of that sad issue! I agree with you! And, of course, he do this great humanitarian work, because, he really cares, and not, because of publicity! The publicity helps, of course, to raise awareness, but, I think, that it isn`t the only reason, why he does that!
