Do you get star Struck?
« on: April 06, 2009, 02:15:28 PM »
I honestly don't get the big deal about celebrities.  People go fucking apeshit when they come within a mile of them.  I just don't get it.  They are people that act for a living. Big fucking deal.  You act, that's it.  No contribution to society then fucking acting.  It really makes me laugh when people camp out of wait in line for hours for a signature.  Someone taking a sharpie and writing their name.  That's it.  nothing else.  What's wrong with this world.

What kills me the most is that they have 20 award shows that celebrate themselves.  The vanity is unreal.  They are disgusting humans.

The story told by the author is his/her signature.  having them write inside "HI Chimps" with a sharpie is dumb. They don't know or care about you.  All they care about is pushing the book because their publisher that paid them to write forced them.

LOL! ;D

i will say though.. having a valid work of art like an album signed by the writer/musicians or book by it's writer does have some value...
however standing in line to have an actor sign a piece of paper is silly

Sometimes. The signature can add, sometimes significantly, to a book's value. Get a book signed by Nora Roberts, not so much. Get 1st ed. signed by Cormac McCarthy and you've probably got a $1,000 book. Someone like Thomas Pynchon , $100,000. JD Salinger's valuation would be up to Sotheby's.  

/and i just get a simple signature.

ask that question to only me keith....

He's the only person that wasn't a Hollywood actor like Tom Cruise, etc to meet so many famous people

Keith even sat next to Jonsey from police academy at a charity event.

so it would be wise to PM Keith and ask him about his perspective about this

the only part of them you get to know from media is the vain and artificial side of their lives.

You are right MOS, I actually made a thread last month on how I would be more star struck if I met a Getbig celeb than an actual celeb.  I just don't care.  Sure I admit I have a cople athletes autographs, but no I am not the star struck type.

i have seen about two relativley famous people in my life and both times i was star struck. If there was something i wanted badly i would travel a pretty far distance to obtain it but i probaly would not que in a line for hours for the simple fact that i have social anxiety

You're talking about vanity after some of the stories you've given us on here? How ironic.

I'm only vain to you guys.  not all the time on TV :-)

What kills me is when someone thinks they're special when they meet a celeb.  This one fag at my work has this blown up 4X4 foot photo of him and Celine Dionne.  Who cares, but he does because he's a schmoe who's highlight of his life was being at the same place as her and having a photo taken.  probably thinks he's special.

I was no George W. Bush fan but I worked at the Army/Navy football game and he walked about 10ft from me and I thought it was the coolest thing I ever saw.
