Orlando Bloom Wigs Out
Orlando Bloom shows off his shaggy new do in a grungy wig on the set of his new movie, Sympathy for Delicious, in Los Angeles on Wednesday (January 28).
The 32-year-old British actor also sported tattoos, black fingernail polish and suspenders.
The plot follows the life of a paralyzed DJ (Christopher Thorton) who realizes he cures the sick, but can’t help himself from pursuing his rock ‘n’ roll dreams. Bloom is taking over for James Franco, who was originally cast as the lead. Laura Linney will play the band’s manager. Christopher Thornton, who wrote the film, will star as the DJ and Mark Ruffalo will portray a priest.

First. He is a worst actor then Ben Affeck and not very manly.
I cant wait to see this movie!!! It has an awesome cast and Mark Rufalo is going to be directing it!!!!!
”who realizes he cure the sick” sounds so ghetto… oh and btw in the uk- suspenders are something completely different…
JARED, Orlando does NOT play the paraplegic; Christopher Thornton, who is paralyzed in ‘real life’ does. He also wrote the script. Orlando is a rock singer who befriends him.
in agreement with Gunn Fan:
yea seriously jared thats the second time, dude. lool
He looks gross. This is a bad move for him, the only thing he has going for him are his looks. His bad acting is going to stick out even worse with nothing pretty to look at.
James Franco would have made this role so much better! It sounds weird when you hear Orlando doing it, but if it was James I would be like this guy is so cool! :)
*sigh* One of these days Jared will learn to read and comprehend the text in front of him. No one outside this blog said he will play the DJ. Correct the mistakes already!
I think that he makes grunge look good!
I can’t wait to see this movie.
I also can’t wait to see Orlando shut the nay-sayers up. As far as I am concerned, if you haven’t seen him in Haven or Ned Kelly, you have no right to comment on his acting.
I think that he will blow his critics out of the water.
It’s quite possible that he does better, acting wise, when he’s not under the same pressures that big budget block busters and big name celebrity actors presence put him under. Smaller films may be better for him until his acting skills advance.
is he still a celebrity?
I completely agree with you. Most of the people commenting saying that his acting is ****, probably never have seen Ned Kelly and Haven. They should stick to their blockbusters. Its ridiculous how some people still think that just because its an indie movie that its automatically going to be low profile, and therefore if he’s doing one he MUST be low profile as well. People like that are retards.
this is just one of those overrated hollywood actors who can’t really act right? :)
James Franco should of totally done this movie!!!! I love james!
true james franco would of made that rocker style look cool and very sexy!!
Please make james take this role back.. i wanna see more james
They’re extensions, not a wig.
I’m in agreement ….. not because I am a fan …… because I’m not. I’m a writer …… and writers will most always make the best casting directors for a film or tv show …… if a writer is true to their story and their characters they will cast the character ….. Not Actors!
Orlando may have his chance to shine yet ….. If he fits the character ….. a lot of his directors have said ….. He is the “character”
Directors and writers want an actor who can relate well with a character ….. so well in fact ….. that most audiences will not be able to see the actor …. only the character they are playing ……
All the fan girls see Will Turner or Legolas or Bailan or Paris or Drew or even Joe Byrne ( Ned Kelly ) or Shy ( Haven ) , etc….
When I watched him in Ned Kelly and Haven I only saw the characters not him …. the other ones Orlando stood out too much ….. I had a difficult time seeing the character he was playing.
I’m not saying he’s not a great actor ….. Ned Kelly was his best so far in my opinion …. He does have the talent and it seems the desire to do the best job he can.
I think he will do a magnificent job on this one. And something tells me that the story is one I cannot wait to see come to life.
I can’t wait until the release date.
Whats up with all these disgrunteld James Franco fans posting? And James Franco has fans? Get over it!
HE LOOKS LIKE A DOUCHE AND THE MOVIE SOUNDS GAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go back to the UK you freak!
A movie about a paralyzed DJ, a rock band and a priest sounds gay?
My guess is that you are about 12-13? Go home to mama little boy.
James has twenty three fans. And they are taking turns posting the same BS over and over.
@20
With James out of the movie, it actually becomes LESS gay, if the rumors are true.
I actually like James. But if I had to chose between James, and Orlando as he looks in the role. Orlando wins, hands down.
Get your facts straight, Jared. Enough people told you on the other post that Orlando isn’t playing the DJ. It’s great that he’s finally working though.
He looks like a hobbit. How appropriate.
whats with the james hate?? and james is a way better actor than orlando will ever be
is mark ruffalo still gonna be in the movie?
A supposed to be big hollywood actor is degraded to a supporting role.. i guess that ’s what happen if you’re stupid enough to take the breaks for granted and bad karma for being a player.. lol
Orlando might have learned his lesson..
I completely agree with mickey! He totally looks like a hobbit! but he’s still cute! He hasn’t done anything recently so maybe this movie will bring him back!
# 10 here. Big name actors can and do take supporting roles. Some actors are better suited to supporting roles than others. I personally think OB was hyped too much and over exposed for a while. That can work against an actor. I also don’t think leading roles are right for him, for a variety of reasons that I won’t go into. What Orlando’s fans think compared to what the general movie going public thinks are often two different things. The general movie going public is made up of many groups of people, and not all of them see Bloom the way his fans do.
I don’t know if Bloom took his acting luck and good fortune and breaks for granted. He may have, considering so much was offered and given to him so early on in his career, and considering LOTR undoubtedly opened many acting opportunities and doors for him. If you don’t have to struggle to make it, as many actors do - often for quite a few years - before hitting the big time, it’s possible to take for granted one’s good fortune and to think the party’s going to last indefinitely. Two years without much acting work will hopefully have humbled him and given him some time to think and take some things more to heart.
He seems to have acquired a player rep. I don’t know if that is by choice and design or due to his actual behavior. It could be part of his image as it seems to fly in the face of the loving boyfriend image he had with Kate. It could be the rep he wants right now. Some men are major flirts but don’t do much more than flirt. They like to have their egos stroked. Some men are the shy quiet types, and you know what they say about those. If Orlando flits around with women left and right, then he’s not serious about genuine relationships with women, but is quite satisfied with casual superficial ones, which is fine by me. Not my problem. I’m not putting it down as a choice. But it contradicts much of what he said in the past about how he sees and treats women. The more he contradicts his past image, statements and behavior patterns, the more he stands to lose remaining credibility with his remaining fans. He’s already lost quite a few over the years. And I don’t think it’s a healthy or wise attitude for his remaining fans or his professional people to assume “good riddance to the lot of them” as a fan base is a market base and a kind of customer base. After all, what are singers and actors without the fans? It’s a two way street.
You got it right, he is still just a celebrity, the term actor combined with him is really pushing it though.
A celebrity with all the hype, yes he is. An actor?Hmmmm
Let’s just wish him well for his supposed to be comeback movie LOL
@ Carmen
Seriously, when exactly are you going to let the past rest? Are you going to continually turn everything he ever does always back to something he said or did 5+ years ago? He’s a player, a womanizer, a flirt, a party boy, etc, etc, etc. its like a broken record that must play over and over in your head. Oh, and cant forget to mention Kate either.
Your words would seem logic to the innocent bystander, but to those of us reading your words, and knowing your history from 7 years back, they are just as scary now as they were back then and at every point in between. Girlfriend really……..its time to get yourself a man and stop analyzing this poor boys every contrived move.
An almost has been actor who’s trying to be like leo by partying too hard and dating models but doesn’t have the strong acting credibility other than a pretty face or some luck maybe.. But surely, those two can’t make a lasting career for an actor. Way to go orlando.. date some more hot models!
Uhm, he has dated ONE, model, and he is not a big partier. Are you just making up stuff as you go?
=
And *ahem* Carmen *ahem*, he is not known as a “player”. He dated one girl for almost four years, and has dated his current girlfriend or over one year. A few RUMORED hook ups in between long term relationships, doesn’t say “player” to me at all. Reel your delusions back in, babe.
He doesn’t have to have a comeback. He never left.
I love the way he looks!
So hot!
I can’t wait to see him in action.
IMDB has his character listed first. It’s more than a supporting role, it’s a lead or co-lead.
Those bashing Orlando aren’t James Franco’s fans THEY ARE DELPHI freaks poor things their heads are allready exploing and there are no picture yet.It will be fun to see them get nastier when there are pictures of Orlando and Miranda on set at least the fraks are entertaining
I agree with some of the others, watch Ned Kelly or Haven and then comment on his acting ability. He is also far from being a heavy partier or a womanizer. Do you believe every rumor you read?
And those saying his career faded and this is his comeback? Don’t you realise he hasn’t been doing roles lately because he hasn’t wanted to? He’s been taking it easy, doing charity work and a play. It’s not like he can’t get roles.
I can`t wait to see this film with great actor Orlando Bloom!!!
@38 - apparently your ability to read and comprehend posts on delphi is is as poor as your ability to string a coherent sentence together. No one on there is ‘freaking out’ because Orlando is working, we’re actually happy about it, and no one has even mentioned James Franco because he’s not involved in the movie.
@37 - IMDb lists the cast by popularity until the official casting order comes out.
Stop making excuses to bring up Delphi all the time. You’re obsessed! You don’t look any smarter by coming here to comment about us after you took the time out of your day to read there. Sheesh, what a bunny boiler!
Finally. Bloom is going to try to do some decent acting again in the movie, not in the hair product commercial. He is not in the main role, it is proofed that he can not carry the whole movie himself. But he can do it correctly when it comes to the smaller roles, and when the leading actor is strong and powerful enough . Viggo and Johnny did it in the super popular trilogies LOTR and POTC. I personally did not like Blooms movies after that. He was , how to say it, “weak”. His acting convinced me in nothing. I am really waiting for this movie. He is no more angelic handsome like he was before. He is older. He must play now, he can not count only on his good looking . And somebody here said that he “can learn form good actors he is playing with”. To late, people. He is 32, if he does not know how to act till this age, he will never learn.
I was actually pleasantly surprised by my last visit to Delphi. I like to check out all sides to the Orlando Fandom, but often leave that site a bit quesy from the irrational venom being spewed. Almost as bad as the diabetic coma that is nearly induced every time I visit OLove.
My latest venture to Delphi showed that most posters were back to happy and encouraged. Just as they claimed that they would be when he started working. They still brought the girlfriend into many posts, even though she wasn’t being discussed, but were for the most part, very supportive. Notice I said ‘for the most part’. There were several posters who still weren’t happy, and they continued to be quite offensive. The kind of poster that just isn’t happy unless they are being critical, and in whose eyes, Orlando can do no right. These are the ones that give Delphi a bad name. The ones that cannot be reasoned with, and are only on that sight to make themselves feel better by hurling insults. These are the very type of people to come here to offend. So yes, saying that these negative posts are all Delphi is a generalization, but most likely not far from the truth. Until these types of posters are reigned in on your site, it will continue to have the reputation for being a site for “haters”, and not one for open discussion. You can’t blame people for thinking what they do about your site. It is mostly deserved. It is on your backs if you want to change that assumption, not ours.
Oh, and #42, that “bunny boiler” comment proved that you are from Delphi, and you’re not helping your case here.
I forgot to mention how excited I am about this new role for Orlando. It will give him a chance to push some boundaries, and surprise a lot of people.
He’ll have my 12 bucks when this one comes out.
LOL you have to include Delphi in there don’t you ……….
its good to see OB working again, though i’m not sure about the syrup!
@44 - I’m curious as to which posters you mean, because I haven’t really seen much in the way of some who aren’t happy no matter what he does.
that was the most in depth comment. :O i love that. its true. very well spoken ^o^ wow….you made me incredibly happy, because your not blindly hating him, or blindly loving him. your critiquing (sp?) with some actually reasoning involved. good form :D
thank you.
your compliment made me smile this morning. I needed that today. Rough morning so far. Wanted you to know your kind words are very much appreciated.
take care,
18
You’re kidding, right?
I’m not #44, but the ones who are STILL nagative, includes, but aren’t limited to:
GeorgiaLass
Mousey127
Alegria24
Victoriasw
Anywho
Icarus Malfoy
and CallieM3.
They have done nothing but criticize him from day one, and continue to do so.
So give me a break with the “I haven’t really seen much in the way of some who aren’t happy no matter what he does” garbage.
Ahat is that a hitlist? YouJustJared peeps are some freaks.
Worst actor than Ben Affleck made me giggle, not sure I agree but funny regardless!
Poor, poor Orlando can’t seem to win despite what he does these days.
No. Someone asked a question. I simply answered it.
Was that really necessary? I mean really. What is the point and why do you care what they have to say? There is a remedy for avoiding such posters you know. It’s called “don’t read at Delphi or OBD or ONTD or OL or CO or KB or OU”.
It is really rather simple. Don’t go to those places or scroll past the posts you don’t like. Really simple it is.
This from the same people who gripe about being “forced” to read about Miranda.
Hypocrites.
People like you think just because they bash Delphi and act like Orlando and his gf **** spun gold that they are some kind of super fan. People like you are just as extreme as those who hate him no matter what he does. The delusional label can be applied to either side. Believe it or not, there are people outside your tiny little universe who do not think he’s THE GREATEST AND THE RICHEST AND THE MOST POWERFUL ACTOR OF ALL TIME!!! That’s just life.
It’s one thing for people to have discussions on their respective boards with their peers who are of like mind. However, anyone coming here to post in no man’s land is pretty much looking for conflict, myself included. JJ has never been known to be a place to have intelligent discussion. Those who troll other communities and then come here to complain about their findings, stop playing yourselves. To take the time to read the “mindless drivel” they post on their boards and then come here to act like they’re above it all shows a certain level of pretentious. We all have trolled each other’s board’s at some point in time. Obviously no one is winning this battle (except JJ ), so if you’re going to take the time to come here and keep engaging each other in an argument, at least do it with a little integrity. Being fake like that just undermines your efforts to look high and mighty.
Finally Orlando is in the media for the right reason!!!
Who cares what Miranda Kerr is doing or Miranda for the matter she has her thread on Jared, if any fans of hers wants to tak about her,go to her thread, right now Orlando is filming a movie, after a long time of not working hes got a good gig and people want to talk about haters, shippers, james franco, delphi etc.
Who Cares, Orlando has a job and is working isnt that enough for some people here? I dont know about the people posting here but I am all for it that Orlando is now working and having fun. Forget everything else.
LOL, heh, im on the hit list. :D
I dont hate OB, but my opinions of him changed from all the things that happened within the last year. But I am really psyched about this new movie he is in. Lovin the boots too.
I made no mention of Kerr. See, I follow my own advice. I’m not interested in her, only him, so I avoid clicking on places where I know she is posted about and i avoid her threads here too. Simple really.
I’m not one of those that gripe about her. So let’s not put me in a group of people where I don’t belong. You don’t know me and I’m not a hypocrite.
Cheers!
#44 sounded pretty balanced to me. They were critical of both ends of the spectrum.
And if the Delphi girls bring their arguements over here, people are going to comment on them. Especially if they try to play the victim.
44 seemed to voice their thought in a logical manner, and they were only responding to #41’s post.
And #50 was responding to a direct question. Someone asked for names, they got ‘em. The “hitlist” comments are just ridiculous.
I guess that what I am trying to say is, don’t dish it out if you can’t take it.
LOL. oh Im having fun here. So who the phunk cares about “the names” that someone wanted, delphi is a bigger place than just a few people on that list. Geez, this place changed a lot since the last time I posted. “Dont dish it out if you can’t take it”,WTF, what lame shiz is that…
I’m one of the “Delphi Haters” I guess, but I really don’t care if people call me that. If im a hater im a hater. Before Delphi even started most of the Delphi Girls used to post around here on Ob’s threads back in spring, ahh I miss those times they were fun. I’m sure JustJared remembers the 1000+ comments we used to leave behind im sure he was happy about that.
Anyways At least a certain actor has a job now and he can have fun while the filming lasts. I really want to focus more on his work.
“I guess that what I am trying to say is, don’t dish it out if you can’t take it.”
I completely agree with this. I think you missed the point of my post though. Just Jared is nothing but one bitchfest. It’s useless for people to come here of all places and put on airs like they are so above the drama. Especially when they go to other boards and bring stuff back here. Of course everyone here is going to defend themselves when we are being criticized.
Everyone who reads here wants to catch up on the next round of drama. Those who post here want to be a part of it. Let’s just be real with ourselves. This kind of stuff satisfies a need on some sick level, and that’s why we keep going at each other. To pretend to not like the drama just because we all don’t agree with each other is just being phony. What is “logical” is simply a matter of perspective.
I’m happy for him, too.
I can’t wait to see this movie. I love the way he looks in grunge.
I for got to add, what is “logical” is simply a matter of perspective. To call someone crazy or jealous just because their logic doesn’t match yours is dismissive. This battle has been long fought and no one is winning. If you’re going to get down in the muck and the mire with all the “loons”, then accept that you belong there with them.
To what extent is it logical to create/join a board devoted to someone you hate?
Hey, don’t know about you guys but, i’m gonna keep on track here and enjoy Orlando’s thread while this all lasts. It’s only about a month long of filming. And about drama, we can leave that out and just talk about the topic here on this thread.
@64 I do like the way he looks grunge, at least he is getting into character. Him and Mark look like old pals together. I really hope this film works out for him and gets him better attention with the press and in the industry. Hopefully it will.
To what extent is it logical to read said board devoted to someone they hate?
Maybe because people who like him want to know what people who don’t say about him, like when you watch the news from a TV channel with a political stand you disagree with to form an informed opinion.
Your turn.
Since when is blind worship a good thing? Just because we question a lot of what we have seen doesn’t make us bad guys. If that’s our passion to talk about all the weirdness of things, then so be it. We all have free will. It’s our choice to post about about our likes and dislikes just like it’s your choice to take the time to read it. Just like it’s every poster’s choice to keep engaging each other here. Do you see a recurring theme?
Why do you keep going over there to read? Maybe you should stay where you live if it offends you so much. No one’s opinions are going to change just because you gripe about it here. Bottom line: if you you go looking for trouble, don’t be too surprised when you find it. There really is no need for me to further elaborate on this subject.
Orlando Bloom is one ugly, scrawny mofo, with or without the wig. I don’t know how he made it in Hollywood with a mug like his. James Franco is much better looking!
Oh, wow it is such an honor to be nominated in the “fat jellus, hater’ catagory, so tell me where do I pick up my gift bag?
Such irony that someone whom I have never met, has decided they have me pegged. They must have far too much time on their hands if they are over there reading so deeply that they can name, names. Sounds like they spend more time themselves there, that I do.
orlando’s ok but i would of wanted to see james franco in it instead ..he’s a much better actor
Just to clear stuff up here. We at Delphi (aka the Delphi Loons) do not hate Orlando in the slightest. People are rather thrilled to see him work again. The people slagging him off here are probably fat jealous haters with no life yeah? That’s apparently the law of the playground when you call someone you don’t like. If you (and you know who you are) could even be bothered to do your homework, you will see we have NOT done nothing but criticize him since day one. That has obviously come from someone who is not in the private section and maybe quite bitter about the fact they can’t see what is going on. If they did see, they would KNOW we do not criticize him all the time and we say lots of positive stuff about him. The image you give Delphi is a wrong one. I’m sure some people will take your word for it, maybe because they are too lazy to go look themselves or take even the slightest bit of negativity (i.e I dont like his shirt) as “hate”. We speak positive about him, we speak good about him so your opinion/info/whatever is wrong (or you are lying).
Oh, and the list you made, is that your “hit list”. How immature! Next you will be saying “stop talking sh!t about Orlando or I will hunt you down and kill you”. Now that would be a complete nutter talking but it certainly sounds familiar! I will not be posting here agian. I am not interested in having an arguement with you, just trying to set the record straight.
To #50, and also to Fake Rack on the other thread:
This is all pretty big talk from people who don’t have the courage to post their names along with their insults, isn’t it? Everyone here loves to throw bricks, and that’s pretty easy when you’re hiding behind a screen name.
We all have opinions, and lord knows mine have been pretty caustic, but if you’re going to talk sh!t at least grow a pair and take your lumps like the rest of us do.
You self-righteous b!tches really need to either pick on someone your own size and own your own words or shut the fcuk up.
Preach it, Wanda!
And to all the shippers who pretend to not read our blogs, I just want to say thanks for the hits. You clearly care more about us than we care about you. :)
I feel like I need to give an acceptance speech:
Thank you for naming me to the #1 spot on your Hit List! It is such an honor to be mentioned but to be at the top of the list is more than I could have hoped for. I would like to thank all of my fellow “Delphi Loons” for our regular conversations on many topics. And I would especially like to thank Orlando Bloom for being a mostly interesting topic of conversation and a person with both good and bad qualities to discuss with fellow fans in an objective manner. Thank you, Orlando, for going back to work. Please do more of that and less of other things.
LOL, we should get more people out here to JJ again, just like old times at least once. We can even let Eri come back and let blue person say the same old one liners, “haters get a life”, lol. Oh how can we ever forget that one. :p
Wanda, fake rack is my posting name. are you saying I should post my real name here? is wanda rizzuto your real name? hope you arent listed cause im no expert but that could cause some problems dont you think? i dont post anywhere else so sorry if you dont like it that I dont find the gunnedah hobag dingo **** funny anymore but I dont. it was funny the first week but you cant expect people to keep laughing after telling the same old joke over and onver and over again. i wasnt beiing insulting, or maybe i was if you want to take it that way, i dont like MK anymore that you do, or any of the girls at delphi, but im also not shy in telling someone when something is old and tired. take that how you want to. i dont read your blogs and hardly read any other boards, i just stumbled across jared last year and mostly read untill a littlle while ago. not going to shut it though if that was your intention. chill out and get some new jokes if you want to be interesting or something.
Fine if you don’t like it but others of us do laugh.
You can always ignore it if you don’t like it.
Wanda and friends keep the dingoese jokes coming.
sure i guess i could and these days i do. theres one who laughs anyone else?
So you keep the “positive” stuff private, and let the non stop bashing remain public, and you wonder why people think of your site the way they do?
Yeah, right.
For the record, I like the gunneduh hobag. She makes me laugh.
It’s great being named on that hit list. Wonderful. I don’t actually hate Orlando, I just don’t feel the need to kiss his **** every time he does something vaguely positive (like work). I’ve never been a fan of his acting and I prefer being honest, so I am going to wait and see how this movie turns out. I’ve said my fair share of positive remarks and negative ones and I’m not going to apologise for having an opinion that others disagree with.
No one on Delphi gives a toss, by the way. We find some of the idiots here hilarious.
“I’ve said my fair share of positive remarks and negative ones and I’m not going to apologise for having an opinion that others disagree with.”
That pretty much says it all and sums it up for many people, #84, aka Icarus. Constant flattery of an actor doesn’t prove loyalty.
I find it funny that all of the Delphites are rushing over here to try to defend theselves. Trying to make themselves sound rational. Too funny.
Go ahead. Keep trying to convince people that your site was not formed for the sole purpose of spouting venomous, irrational conspiracy theories without people disagreeing with you. Go ahead.
@86 - It’s so easy to bash when you’re an anonymous poster, isn’t it? Poor thing, you must feel terribly inadequate in certain areas of your life. I know its a difficult concept for you to understand, but some people do actually have different opinions and freely express them. You clearly have an inflated sense of your own importance if you think anyone at Delphi is getting upset over being ‘called out’. It’s created even more humour.
A follow up to my #87 post - no one on Delphi hates Orlando. Far from it.
So you bash Orlando and Miranda using your real name? No didn’t think so.
And sure, people have differing opinions, and should be allowed to express them. The problem is, your site doesn’t allow freedom to expess any opinion but your own. Any disent is shut down quickly, all the while you are condmning places like OLove for not allowing the same disent. You guys bear the label of Hypocrites for a reason.
So no one on your site calls Olando horrible names? Or insults his family? Or his chosen companion? If that isn’t hate, I wouldn’t like to see your version of it.
@89 - We have never told people who have different opinions that they can’t post at Delphi, the only reason that hasn’t happened is because the few ’shippers’ who have posted have only stirred **** and not wanted to have a proper discussion. Discussion is welcome at Delphi - going there just to attack us (which has happened everytime someone with a ‘different’ opinion has registered) is not a welcome approach.
No, we don’t insult Orlando’s family, they’re not celebrities and they’re not begging for attention. I didn’t come here to attack you (which is exactly what you’re doing), I’m just pointing out some facts about a board which you clearly have very little understanding of.
So what kind of “trouble” might someone find for criticizing Delphi? Please do elaborate.
Well, he certainly looks the part - now we’ll see if he can play the part. And I’m hoping he’s successful because won’t the critics be surprised!
You lie to yourself often, do ya?
The last time someone brought up legitimate, rational arguements to debate some of your theories, they were harrassed off the board pretty quickly. Sure there were one or two of you that answered them politely, actually interested in the debate. But most answered with proclamations that this person was either dumb or blind. Of course, along with the old, tired, “member of the family” bit. And the earlier S.T.F.U. is a classic Delphi move.
They have insulted Orlando’s mother. Insinuating that it was the conditions surrounding his birth, and that his mother was a loose woman, that are causing him “problems” now. She has also ben called a famehound on your site. I guess that can be considered a compliment in your eyes?
It all comes back to the fact that your site is no more “balanced” than OLove. And you need to stop pretending that it is.
“Trouble” as in fishing for comments from people that might be upsetting because you know don’t necessarily hold the same views as you. #69 had this to say:
“Maybe because people who like him want to know what people who don’t say about him, like when you watch the news from a TV channel with a political stand you disagree with to form an informed opinion”
Why go to a site to gauge a reaction from people who obviously have a different viewpoint than you if you’re going to constantly write it off as being hate? You are not being objective at all. Like I said in my earlier post, maybe you should stay where you live if what we write on our site offends others so much. It’s really not that hard. It all comes down to choice.
We would never threaten violence if that’s what you’re getting at. We’re evolved enough to not have to stoop to that level if there’s a disagreement. I wish I could say the same for everybody else.
“They have insulted Orlando’s mother. Insinuating that it was the conditions surrounding his birth, and that his mother was a loose woman, that are causing him “problems” now. She has also ben called a famehound on your site. I guess that can be considered a compliment in your eyes?”
I’m not #90, but I do recall this conversation taking place on. Even I have to say some of the comments surrounding his mother were a bit extreme for my taste, as I’m sure others felt that way too. Some things are better left unsaid.
To say we all feel that way when only a handful of people participated in that conversation is generalizing. There are a lot more registered members than the regulars who post there. I can guarantee some of them are probably members of your site of choice too. So are they Delphi loons too just because they come to our site to vent when they don’t agree with certain things you say on your site? Just because there aren’t as many arguments on our site as others doesn’t mean we all agree on everything. Sometimes some of us just choose not to participate in certain conversations. Maybe some of us like to pick our battles.There’s that word “choice” floating around again.
Then if you don’t control the vile comments, you can’t blame people for thinking of your site a certain way.
If you lie down with dogs….
Guilt by association…..
Be careful of the friends you keep….
Do any of these ring a bell?
Hey, please leave my mum out of this! Thanks.
First of all, it’s not my job to to put a muzzle on anyone. Unless a moderator steps in, we can pretty much can say what we want.
Second, all your little quips about association can be applied to you as well since you go over there and read what we say and then come back here to argue with us. Want that flea collar now, hon?
Btw, weren’t you just complaining about us pretending that our site is balanced? And now you want me to control the vile comments? You’re contradicting yourself here?
So you’re proud that your version of balance sometimes borders on the obscene? Proud that your “moderator” is one of the worst offenders?
You can have reasonable discussion without calling someone’s mother a w.h.o.r.e., can’t you?
As someone said, you are no more balanced than OLove. Trying to say otherwise is laughable.
If that’s the way you feel, then that’s fine. But like I have repeatedly said, reading there is a choice. If you choose to read there, then you choose to piss your own self off. It’s your fault that you’re mad, not mine. Take responsibility for your role in all this.
Oh, i’m not mad about the site. That’s your choice to make it the site that you want. What I find hilarious is the constant claim that Delphi is balanced, unlike the “shipper” sites. That is bull, and I, and others, will continue to call anyone that claims such, hypocrites. You are responsible for that, not me.
I, myself, have NEVER claimed that my site is balanced. What I am saying is every time there is a disagreement there, we don’t always take up arms against each other. People nowadays have this mentality that the sole purpose of a message boards is to argue with each other and cut each other down at every given opportunity. That’s just not true. Sometimes it’s okay to let your friends have their say without having to prove them wrong all the time. But in your eyes that makes me a bad guy for not speaking out every time someone says something I don’t like.
More than anything, I think it bothers you that our site is overwhelmingly populated with people who think that OB has made some bad choices in his career. Just like it bothers you that OL is overwhelmingly populated with people who think that he can do no wrong and you can’t (what’s that word you used? Oh yeah, ) CONTROL they way either site does business. So you come here to complain and make sweeping generalizations.
Only the moderators have say in how they want thing to go down on their site. Either we choose (there it is again) to play by their rules, or we leave. Simple as that.
PS. Since you want to complain about vile comments, I’d love for you to go hang out with the good folks over at D Listed. Then you can wow them with your reason and logic in a disagreement. I doubt a you would last a New York minute in a place such as that, crying the way you do. But don’t take my word for it. Go, I’ll be here when you get back.
Please go back and read my post again.
I AM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SITES, ONLY THE HYPOCRITES THAT CLAIM THAT THEY ARE “BALANCED”.
Got it now?
And you can have a discussion, without “proving” someone wrong. That’s what discussion is. For normal people, anyway.
I prefer The Return of the Frodo instead of The Return of the Dingho!
@104
Obviously you’re not one of those normal people you speak of. Your argument isn’t about balance or hypocrisy, it’s about the word you used earlier, “control”. Since you’re obviously a shipper, you want to control the negative speech against your idol. Shippers like you don’t ridicule places like OL because they are saying what YOU want to hear. Since that’s not happening over at Delphi, you feel it’s your duty to come here and call us out. Who is being the hypocrite now?
No one made you judge or jury, and going after us hypocrites makes you one as well because you clearly contradicted your balance rant with talk of control. If you want to see the membership at Delphi decline, then stop ranting and raving about us here. Look at all the free advertisement you girls have given us! All our new members are people who sign up to vent when people like you go all batshit crazy and try to control everything. Others just want to know what all the fuss is about. Our membership is growing everyday thanks to people like you.
OK, I’m done
You are obviously too stupid to understand.
Did I not also say that places like OLove weren’t balanced? Yet I don’t see their members coming here to claim otherwise. That is why I am not calling them hypocrites.
And if you want to talk membership. Talk about Ka-Bloom. They have over 5,000 members for a reason. Compare that to your pitiful count.
And we will stop “ranting and raving” about you, when you stop bringing your irrational theories over here. If you come here, you have to be ready for people to disagree with you. If you aren’t ready for that, stay on your site. That’s why you started the site anyway, isn’t it. So you wouildn’t have to defend your hairbrained ideas?
Yep, I’m done talking to morons.
Bye bye, now.
It’s stupid that people think on Delphi people say bad things about Orlando’s family. We don’t, I don’t want to make fun of his family, why, what have they done to anyone. I just talk about the man and his life not his family. I think from the way it looks of it, he has a very sweet looking family. His sister and his mom look like two smart women and his dad looks just like OB.
It’s not his family we want to talk about, it’s about Orlando. We do talk about him with different views, we don’t all think the same. We are not like OL at all, (good thing) we enjoy talking freely about what we think. I have no clue why you would randomly throw in OB’s mom and family into something like this.
It’s not bad choices in his career or I don’t like his shirt what makes people think that you hate him, it is rather -generally unfounded- personal attacks on him what leads people to think so. Also nobody says that you have to blindly worship him, but there is a line between liking without worshipping and constantly attacking him personally. There’s also a line between criticism and insults. Notice, I say this because some of you seemed to be pissed off when it was pointed out that you seem to hate him, all I’m saying is that there is a reason why people think so, that it’s very hard to think of you as fans and that it is difficult to understand why you made a board for him, NOT that you can’t say what you want.
I don’t know much about Dlisted, but while it definately looks like a place full of “people” that make vile comments about ALL celebrities, they don’t claim to be their fans, they use rather childish and dumb insults, and few analyze their lives to try to reach a personal level.
Wow, so now I’m stupid because we have differing views? You’re ready to throw in the towel because you don’t like what I have to say? I’ve been saying all along that coming here and going over there is a choice and anyone who comes here is looking for conflict. That’s why I am here with you discussing my opposing view point with you.
I knew if I talked to you long enough, I could get you to spill your inner most workings about why you hate Delphi so much. I’m actually a member of Ka-Bloom too, so see you there I guess? :)
So there you have it ladies of Dephi, it’s all about CONTROL.
ENOUGH ALREADY!!!
Even Without Coming On Here, Your Nasty Words and Insults at Each Other I Can’t Get Out Of My Head!
Like one of those Extremely Annoying Commercial Tunes!
I was hoping that someone might have something intelligent to share.
That is the only reason I came on here today.
But I guess I can give up on that ever happening.
Where is “Knights Into Dreams” or “Fro Fro” anyway?
I brought up D-Listed because a comment was made about vile comments. I never said it was a fan community. The point that I’m trying to make is that there are plenty of places on the web who far worse than us. Even some the “crazies” here are too emotional to survive that place. If places like that are offensive enough for one not to park there and read the crap spewed there day in and day out, then maybe the shippers ought to make the same resolve to do the same with Delphi.
You don’t understand anything, do you? We weren’t discussing the right to have differing views, we were discussing the claims of balance. You aren’t listening to my opinion, so why should I have any further discussion with you? The day that you respect other’s opinions on your site, is the day that you can claim balance. Until then, you will continue to be called a hypocrite.
Control? No. It is about true discussion. Something that isn’t possible on your site.
And the fact that you belong to Ka-Bloom, AND to Delphi, when Delphi is constantly insulting the owner and posters of Ka-Bloom, means that you are even a bigger hypocrite than I thought you were. You must be so proud.
Now I am really done with you. You aren’t worth any more of my time.
@108
Go back and read post #95
That’s one of your own admitting to the statements about Orlando’s family. You can’t deny that it happened. Or do you have a selective memory when it is convenient?
so why isn’t anyone picking on any of the sites with the most orlando related rules i’ve ever experienced….
its weird, you guys should think a discussion of where he’s at a is a good thing, yet i get the feeling that some of the ob sites where there are rule pages that make the constitution look short are being put up as an ideal….
seriously?????
i, for one, think Delphi at least provides an arena where you can post your viewpoint……. even if you get someone coming back at least it goes up there in the first place……
Oh, D-listed is just a place populated with people with a notorious and worrying lack of intelligence and maturity, poor things. How they manage to get an emotional reaction from anyone is a mystery to me.
But my intention wasn’t to compare you to them or to say that you are the worst site in the Internet, and you most definately don’t offend me, I just don’t understand why it comes as a surprise to you that people think that you hate him or what exactly you see in him to think he deserves a board and all that effort to get the latest news/pics about him and discuss them.
Mind you, I have hardly checked your site a couple of times to know what all the fuss was about like you say, and I don’t have the intention to ever post there or bother anyone there.
I think that you hit the nail on the head. How can any delphi member be surprised about their reputation on the web?
I check it out once in a while, and I admit that I haven’t seen every thread. But the threads that I did see, left no doubt in my mind what type of site it is.
That type of negativity is not something that I would want to be a part of.
Good for you!
I admitted that the conversation did in fact take place and I didn’t like it, so what are you talking about?
There is no constant insulting or talk of Ka-Bloom! I very rarely hear of Ka-Bloom. Is that why you’re here ranting like this? You’re fighting a battle for KaBloom? Are you one of the mods over there or something? Do you think you have a right to tell others how to run their shows? Yes, please be done with me. Now you just want a reason to fuss. Bye!
They directed that comment at “anywho”, who claimed that there haven’t been any offensive posts about Orlando’s family.
And I agree with 113, you seem to be purposely misreading the comments to suit your beliefs. You seem to be well suited to the delphi crowd. Believe what you want, and to hell with the facts.
Rant away, but you are just making yourself look worse.
@13 - Apparently reading comprehension isn’t something you’re particularly good at. It’s obvious that you can’t handle the fact that you’re ‘losing’ this argument, so you’re trying to back track and change your point. Poor thing.
@107 - KaBloom only has 720 members, and the most that has ever been online at one point 400 back in 2006 for Orlando’s birthday (as sad as that is). Stop trying to hype that place up to be more than it is. It’s not the be all end all of the Orlando fandom. I, too, am a member by the way, and its so bloody regimented and strict that I much prefer Delphi simply because I can actually have an opinion that differs from the mod and not be banned for it.
I don’t think that they were “backtracking” at all. It seems like they were just trying to keep to the topic, when little miss delphi kept twisting their words.
And as far as Ka-Bloom, 400 on line *at one time* is a lot better than Delphi with its “40 members active *today*” business, I would say. And at least ka-Bloom is honest about their site. They don’t claim to be anything that they are not, and they continue to be a very reliable site for real information. I’m not a member, because I don’t think that I could follow their rules, but there is no way that I will insult them for *having* those rules.
@122 - Delphi isn’t claiming to be anything other than what it is - an Orlando discussion board. What’s the problem with that?
It’s for venting, not discussion.
The word “discussion” is the problem. There is no honest discussion. There can’t be discussion if only one point of view is tolerated. Sure, they allow some lee way as to the degree of emotions. But if someone went there to discuss the good qualities of Miranda (charity work and her rep for being kind and gracious to her dressers and make up artists for example) they would be insulted, shouted down and abused. You can’t deny that.
@124 - There is plenty of discussion over there and the posters do disagree with each other without being shot down for it. Go over there and post how wonderful you think MK is then - just don’t expect to be treated nicely if you insult the board which is what the other MK lovers have done when posting over there. It works both ways, you know - if you’re nice to us then we’re nice to you. So far though, the shippers haven’t wanted to be nice.
Maybe you should go over to Delphi and pose those questions. I didn’t know Miranda did charity work, to be honest. DJ’s had something going last year but I didn’t know that Miranda was personally involved. What did she do?
Her rep for being kind and gracious changes depending on which dresser and make-up artist you speak too. Both sides of that issue have been addressed in earlier threads here on JJ by insiders vehement their point of view was right. Anything new to add? Any speicifics that Delphi could gnaw on? Go on over, you know you want to.
She has been involved in children’s charities for several years. Long before she met Mr. Bloom. And I think that I will believe posters who have to log in with their screen name over anons posting on this site. Several people posted on ONTD about how sweet she was. Also, photographers, on their own blogs (not mystery posters on JJ) say over and over again about what a joy she is to work with.
And about the invite to Delphi, no thank you. I don’t really enjoy being told that I am blind, or an ostrich, or to simply STF*. Thanks, but no thanks.
It is interesting that all of us who had the names we always post under displayed here for a very strange public came here and used the names we always post under to reply. The people who threw our names out there was anon., most of the people who like to call us haters are anon. Seems strange that the ones everyone calls horrible are the only ones that will own up to their words by using the same screen names.
Makes one think!
Oh, you know that plenty of Delphi people come here and say nasty things anonymously. So you can’t use that line of “reasoning”. One of the ones involved in ‘the arguement’ on this thread claimed to be a member of both Ka-Bloom and delphi, yet they were using a different screen name here. Which means that they were basically posting as just another anon. That, combined with your statement, does make one think, now doesn’t it.
@28 - I have no problem posting here with my screen name. I think its funny that someone actually listed the names of the delphi posters he/she doesn’t agree with - way to make yourself look even more ridiculous. Wouldn’t it just be easier not to read a board that you hate?
That’s not why that poster listed those names.
Someone made a comment on the continued negativity of that board, and somone else asked for examples, because they claimed to not know anyone who does that.
That is why those names were mentioned, not because they disagree with them.
@131 - I get that, I just think its stupid that some posters here seem to take offence just because we’re giving an opinion. Yes, I may say some negative things concerning Orlando but I’m still a fan; I just don’t blindly worship him like some do (and that doesn’t make them better fans). Referring to that poster back on the second page who thinks Orlando can ‘do no right’ with us - I think he looks okay, but the look he’s sporting for this movie isn’t my cup of tea. I’ve never been particularly fond of his acting, but I like watching him nonetheless - that isn’t being vicious/nasty, that’s just being honest and I’ve always said things like this in the Orlando fandom, but only now I’m being called out as a ‘nasty vicious delphi loon hater’. Funny that.
Say what you like about delphi, at least we can speak our minds there and not get attacked for it by the other posters.
exactly! i’m with you 100% - the last time i got really excited about OB’s acting was in LOTR - i still like him and follow his career and go see his movies, but i’m also still waiting for him to pull another performance like Legolas out of the hat - in my opinion he hasn’t done it since……
I have low respect for anyone that pulls their private life into the public arena as a means of getting or keeping their name out there, and for me thats exactly what OB has done more and more as his career has looked less rosy. And i’m not just talking about the latest bout here…
@128/Delphiers
The comments on your board are what they are: written by Delphi members and read by the public. Anon or not, people will “peg” you by your comments. Say what you want about anons and their opinions of Delphi, gloss over what is said there, but you can’t deny your own words posted by you on your own board.
Owning your words is not only attaching your name to them.
@132/Delphiers
Isn’t it equally stupid to take offense at opinions of opinions? All those posts that you’re taking exception to? They’re just opinions.
Why are you pretending you’re being called out for your opinion on his acting? Or, according to several disingenuous Delphiers, on his shirt and on bitterness for not being able to read your private section? You know what you have said about Bloom, his family, B/K, and their supporters. That’s what the “hater/loon” label is about.
“Say what you like about delphi, at least we can speak our minds there and not get attacked for it by the other posters.”
How is that different from OL or KB? Fans who prefer those boards do so for the same reason as yours. Delphi is neither special nor better. It’s just another board where a particular p.o.v. is followed.
You might consider taking your own advice. Don’t read the comments about Delphi. Don’t read the tab, pap and supportive comments about B/K.
@134 -
“How is that different from OL or KB?” - It’s different because if you don’t have anything positive to say on those boards then you get told off for it. It’s very rare that a slightly critical comment makes it past the mods on either of those boards. On Delphi you can say both the positive and the negative without being torn a new one - THAT is the difference. I never said delphi is anything special, just that you’re actually allowed to say what you want to say instead of being
“You might consider taking your own advice. Don’t read the comments about Delphi. Don’t read the tab, pap and supportive comments about B/K.” - I don’t hate any of the boards with the positive stuff, so why should I stop reading them? You can’t go anywhere in the Orlando fandom without having his girlfriend shoved down your throat, even if its just a sighting. If you have Orlando on google alert, any article about her always includes his name and so they always turn up in the alerts as well. For once, Orlando is actually on this site on his own and doing his own thing, so let’s keep the comments to him, yeah?
“You know what you have said about Bloom, his family, B/K, and their supporters. That’s what the “hater/loon” label is about.” - And I don’t see why having a different opinion makes one a ‘hater’. I’m not a hater, far from it - I like the guy, so yes, I do take a little offence at being labelled something I’m not.
“Slightly critical”? Calling him, his girlfriend and his family names that I wouldn’t call my worst enemy is “slightly critical”? OK
You may express your views in a more reasonable way (most of the times), but many of the posters on your site are absolutely hateful. You can’t deny what goes on at your site. The offensive names, the CONSTANT complaining, the irrational judgements on his mental status, the statements that he is on drugs. Even people finding fault with his charity work. And you can’t deny that there are some absolutely insane conspiracy theories that are treated as Gospel over there. It’s fine, if that’s what you want, but to ignore the reaction that the site gets on the web is just you hiding your head in the sand.
And I still don’t understand how people who visit Orlando centric sites on the web can be upst over Miranda “being shoved down” your throat. They are dating. Of course they will have pictures taken, of course they will have their names linked. It’s no different than any other celebrity couple. They get papped far less than most other couples. Be thankful that he didn’t hook up with Jennifer Aniston or Saint Angie. You would never get another pic of him alone if that was the case. Is he supposed to remain celibate to please you?
If it’s discussion you want, why not try IMDB. You can get both sides of the arguement over there, and since your site opened, they don’t have the reputation of being the most insane site on the web anymore. But that would mean that you would actually have a real discussion. You will have to back up your reasoning, and not just have ten posters blindly agree with you (as long as it was negative).
So get your head out of the sand, and recognize your site for what it truly is. A site formed for the purpose of slinging hate, without having to answer for it. Again, if that’s what you want, fine. But don’t pretend that it is anything that it is not.
As long as we have freedom of speech and press on the Web (with some restrictions when it comes to national security and libel or slander law suits), people can and will create all kinds of web sites. Some of those web sites will be devoted to actors, and within that group of web sites will be all kinds of views. Different people gravitate towards different web sites based on their own personal preferences. The issue of OB sites is really about personal preferences.
Orlando Bloom is, after all, a public figure, and he, his family, PR team and girlfriends have all put information out there, in some form or another, for public viewing, thought, discussion and consumption. People can think whatever wish to think and believe whatever they wish to believe. Neither ’side’ is better than the other, and no one web site is better than any other except in our own personal opinions and based on our own personal preferences.
I personally find it refreshing when people dare to question things. I prefer reading comments that go beyond how “hot, hot, hot” an actor is. I also agree that if one wishes to follow an actors career, one does not necessarily wish to follow his wife’s career, or his girlfriend’s career, or his kid’s careers, or his brother’s career, etc. The emphasis should be on the actor or actress himself or herself, and NOT on relatives or significant others. I’ve noticed in other fan groups that fans can and do get a bit ticked off if they believe that an actor or actress is being used or exploited by his or her significant other. They also don’t like it when they feel that the significant other is getting as much press as their ‘fave’, when that press seems to be the result of the relationship. This situation isn’t unique to Orlando.
I can also remember times when OB and KB were dating, and the sentiments and feelings expressed on some boards were actually quite to similar to OB and MK. Do I think there’s some jealousy out there? Sure, that’s a possibility and I won’t discount it. I also think that many OB fans would like to see less of the ‘current squeeze’ and just more of him. I personally think many of his fans would be quite happy if he found someone he seemed genuinely enthusiastic about and showed some feelings for - minus the Wire Image and pap photo ops and set ups. It’s a pity that some of the same things that happened with Kate have happened with Miranda. I don’t think it’s the result of Orlando’s fans not wanting him to find a good woman, but rather the result of him not having found one. And both KB and MK talked to the press about OB. Again, OB has said little or nothing. I find it very odd, but it’s also his life and his choice.
Every web site has its own flavor and its own rules. For less stress, I would suggest finding the site or sites you like, and stick to those. Ignore the rest. As long as ‘the rest’ are abiding by their own rules and the TOS of their service providers, then all is good. And as for Orlando and other actors and celebrities, they are partly responsible for what they and their PR teams and associates have put out there. I’m sure they can handle it.
@Icarus
Neither you nor anyone at your board owes any member of the public an apology for expressing your views, beliefs or opinions regarding Orlando and Miranda. If people want to go to your site to vent, that’s their choice, just as people can go to other OB sites to “drool.” Again, that’s a personal choice that should be respected, in my opinion. If such a site had been around during the OB/KB days, I’m sure you would have had plenty of members then who would have complained about Kate being “shoved down your throat, even if its just a sighting. If you have Orlando on google alert, any article about her always includes his name and so they always turn up in the alerts as well.”
To @@@
“Delphi is neither special nor better. It’s just another board where a particular p.o.v. is followed.” Precisely. And if people get upset over some opinions expressed at another board, that’s THEIR problem. No one is deliberately trying to upset other posters from other boards. People are just expressing their views and opinions. If poster X gets upset over poster Y’s point of view or opinion, that’s not poster Y’s problem - as long as we’re expressing opinions. If certain discussions take place at Delphi, but those discussions fall within the TOS of Delphi Forums, then Delphi members would be within their posting rights. That some members of Bloom’s fandom are uncomfortable with the nature of those discussions actually isn’t Delphi’s problem. If Mr. Bloom or his people had a problem with it, I’m sure they’d take the necessary steps.
So, it’s fans who have issues with other fans. The actor himself seems to be fine doing what he’s doing. And for now, he seems to be fine with Miranda, just as he seemed to be fine with Kate. And yes, if you want news on Bloom, you’ll have to get news on the GF. Just as it was with Kate.
Your attempt at being objective only made you look even more biased than what you already are.
“I also agree that if one wishes to follow an actors career, one does not necessarily wish to follow his wife’s career, or his girlfriend’s career, or his kid’s careers, or his brother’s career, etc”
This can be applied to both sides. Part of one side love the gf because she’s the gf, and part of the other obsessively bash her and seem more interested in bashing her than in liking him. When a particular side complains about her being shoved down their throats I get a chuckle. They’d be bored to tears without her! LOL
You didn’t get it, deja vu (good nick, it suits you really well). For what I’ve seen most people here weren’t trying to censor Delphi or tell them they can’t say what they want or demanding an apology, they were actually expressing their opinion about their board. For what I’ve read here, it seems that the Delphi girls also express their opinion about other boards, so what’s really the problem here?
“without her?”
Is somebody upset because they recently got dumped…..
boo hoooooo……
The way you just carried on, sounds more like a close personal friend of said girl friend, or the ex-girl friend herself, rather than an objective, rational individual.
And here’s another perfect example of the idiocy that is delphi.
Not a member or Delphi …. don’t care to be either.
I’m not a member of Delphi either cause I’m not his fan,and I have my own reasons for disliking Kerr thta have nothing to do with Bloom. There are a lot of us here who have had our own experiences with her and our comments are based on that. It seems a small and nasty group is very threatened by this other site(’day “Oz”) and is obssessed with demolishing them. It is not a mere difference of opinion with them. They choose to call out and bully on JJs. Wonder why that is?
Bahahhahahhahahahh!!!
Oh, poor innocent delphi. Why can’t people leave you alone? I mean, all you want to do is sling mud, make up stories and call people hateful names. Poor saaad delphi.
[places hand on forehead and sighs dramatically]
I know I’m being obnoxious (again) by posting the same thought on more than one thread, but this online article about Eric Bana really is worth reading. I’m surprised that Orlando Bloom has not been able to emulate the likes of Bana, Mortensen and Depp in some areas of his life, especially in light of his past admirable mentions of them in his interviews. He’s had the best examples in the business to learn from, in so many ways. He should take notes from his “good buddy” Eric and do the same things – if he really values his privacy and wants substance in his life. IMO, of course. That’s just how I see things, personally. Bana has a great and level head on his shoulders. He was already married by the time he was 30 and had his priorities set straight. I love how he references his wife in the interview; he’s very happily married. I copied and pasted some key segments which seem timely right now regarding Bloom.
http://www.theage.com.au/news/executive-style/culture/its-out-of-sight-for-eric-bana/2009/02/02/1233423099013.html
People don’t hassle him, he says; he’s part of the furniture. “At a shopping mall people might want to take photos,” says his wife, Rebecca Bana, “but it’s so rare. On a day-to-day basis, he just blends in.” He flies under the radar in the media too, rarely appearing in the social pages and avoiding interviews. “It’s about staying away from celebrity,” he says. “If you allow that world to consume you, it will kill you.”
Bana sometimes wonders how much further he could take his career if he lived in Los Angeles; if he didn’t have kids he’d probably be based there. That said, relatively few films are actually made in California - he’s made as many in Malta as he has in LA. “No matter how you do it, it is a pain in the ****, so just do the one that is the most practical. For us, it works and there is no reason to reinvent the wheel. I’d rather the hassle of the extra travel and be at home when I’m not working,” he says. “But the real reason I live here is because I was born here. This is where all my family and friends are. It’s my hometown. I think it’s as great, if not better than, any other city in the world.”
It delights him that when he runs into old school friends they’re not interested in what it’s like to make movies with Brad Pitt and “good buddy” Orlando Bloom. “It’s like, ‘You don’t still have that big white Falcon that you used to drive to school, do you?’”
Despite living in such different worlds - Bana defines them as the working actors’ world, the “normal” world, and the celebrity world - he insists he doesn’t feel torn between them. “Two of those are very real; the third one doesn’t consist of much and I have nothing to do with it. There is a whole celebrity industry that is complete bullshit and it’s not something I ever have to deal with.” He walks the red carpet just a couple of nights each year. “Unless you’re Paris Hilton, you’re a deer in the headlights. It is the weirdest part of the job but it’s necessary and I’ve got to the stage where I try to enjoy it as much as I can.”
@143 Delphi isn’t innocent and they openly admit it. They post with the same names there as they do here, unlike the people here who continually badger them for their different views and words.
Just like you, they can say what they want, like it or not.
