(Sorry mod, it's the closest I could come to a good, non-cussing subject!)

So this guy, who's a TV critic for the Star-Ledger of eastern New Jersey....oooohhh.....wrote a critique of Nurse Jackie starring Edie Falco.

(Disclaimer- I haven't seen the show- big deal.)

In his column he wrote this:

Back when he was starring in Fox's short-lived "Fastlane," I noticed that Peter Facinelli not only looks a little like young Tom Cruise, but sounds exactly like him, and it's one of those things you can't un-learn. So I unfortunately spent a lot of his screen time here noticing that he's picked up on some other Cruise mannerisms over the years, like the way he flares his nostrils. I don't think it's intentional, and this is certainly preferable to, say Brad Rowe (a guy who had a career for a few years in the late '90s because he was a dead ringer for Brad Pitt, even though he couldn't act a lick), but I don't think I'm ever going to not be distracted by this.


Um...excuse me?

Number 1- Brad's career is certainly more than 'a few years in the late '90's'

Number 2- He's better looking than Brad Pitt.

Number 3- He's a much better actor than you give him credit for.

and Number 4- Fuck you.


Here is the link to the article...at the bottom is a place to put your comments. I already commented, linking him to Brad's IMDB page and mentioned the GLAAD award that Shelter just won.

Please go to his page and tell him just what you think about his uncalled for comments. If he wants to rag on someone *actually* in the show he's reviewing that's one thing, it's completely another to bring someone not even involved in the show into it to blast him.

Do you agree?

It did seem like a very mean-spirited, out-of-fucking-nowhere attack, didn't it? And, I agree w/[livejournal.com profile] girloftheburbs: he really must have missed Shelter, because that alone would have shut him up about your favorite guy.

I hate it when innocent people get picked on for no reason.

*helps you with calm breathing*

LOL i know! he wasn't great in that episode, i was kind of disappointed (i may have just been disappointed that he wasn't shawn and he wasn't with zach haha!), but that doesn't make him an all around bad actor. jerk!

He's obviously got some beef with Brad; why else bring him up out of context like that? Odd AND annoying....
