the best anti-Holloway rant ever

Shawluv:D, great early anti-Hollway thread specifically the comment, "I can hardly wait for him to start suffering." And the film hadn't even been seen by these haters yet. Wicked.

@The Man Who Would Be Punx: My God, you're so right. I'm going to stop posting on forums that [i]The Shining[/i] is an awful film because the Jack Nicholson character is so objectionable! Now I've seen the error of my ways, perhaps I'll convince myself that Psycho has one or two redeeming features!

Although I wouldnt piss on Holloway I he were on fire, The guys level of anger at a disappointing movie was rediculous. Dude need counselling.

As much as I liked the film, I thought that Logan Green wasn't right for it, and perhaps also the character wasn't as realistic as it should be. Sometimes a screen writer or director *wants* a character to be a certain way, and that's fine. But in this case it turned out to be just not believable enough. The Holloway character was supposed to be a risk taker, adventurous, according to Ridley. That's cool. But unfortunately what I saw was more than that. I saw a punk kid. I saw reckless. I saw too much cocky for a "genius" scientist on a mission to an alien planet. I saw a kid who just wanted to "open his presents" and screw everything else. In fact, there was no indication that he was a genius at all! It was never exposed. He just acted silly and stupid. I don't expect everything to be the way I want, but I think this cast choice and character choice for this movie didn't really work well. It didn't take away too much from the movie, but I'm glad he's gone and won't have to worry about him resurfacing in any sequel!
