That's not what I said. I like boobies in movies. I just think that if seeing boobs in movies is that important to you, they make movies specifically for that purpose.

No matter what you think of him, you clearly accused him of being sexist, only seeing women as items or any other similarly horrible thing, there's no point in denying it:

Because that was a ridiculous answer that was completely at odds with the subject.

That was Jason Segel, not Seth Rogan.

Just so you know. :wink:

I'd be terrified if I ever saw Seth Rogan's junk. I bet he's got a little mini afro down there too. :lol:

I didn't ask a question so there's no "because". You accused him. Period.

He was not even talking with you, he was replying to Hatta comment of "Why is nudity important in film and why does it matter if it goes away?".

You mean Chris Evans wasn't actually that skinny small guy, and didn't get taller and buff and chisled for the role?

FUCK YOU HOLLYWOOD, YOU CHEATED ME!
*sigh* Remember when movies stars would actually lose/gain weight for their roles?

I didn't accuse him of being sexist. Period. Please learn to read. Also, you might want to educate yourself on the usage of the word "because", especially as it pertains to beginning a sentence. It doesn't require a question to be asked in order to use it. When you have to resort to trying to correct someone else's usage of English, it really diminishes whatever point you were trying to make.

Perhaps you shouldn't try again.

I'm not the only one who read that so perhaps the issue is not on my reading but on your writing.

You clearly attacked Luke by saying he is sexist or holds women as objects or holds any equally ridiculous double standard about women, as made clear in the part I quote

1) The "don't use because" is figurative.
2) Irony much?

Oh man, you are totally right. And to think he's starring in the new Muppets movie :)

But "what's his name" got it right. It's about fulfilling your contract and not backing out of obligations you are getting paid to do, not about not seeing boobs.

And settle down for crying out loud in here. No need for personal attacks just because you don't agree.
