We study it in English and World History
Very controversial for it's age, it should be wonderful to see what they do with it on the big screen this time around
What, of the point I was making that what I say shouldn't be percieved as fact, but opinion, didn't I get across? Again, I figured I've been around ehre long enough for people to know that I don't speak out of anything BUT opinion.
As for who sees the movie, I never commented on who would or would not see it. Don't know where you're coming from, much less going, with that. The reasoning behind seeing it, I did question, and IMO, rightfully so. In addition, I have yet to criticize the movie itself, just the casting directors decisions. Guess we'll (you'll, everyone but myself) will see how that pans out.
I need sources? Do a Google search, I dunno. Every single Episode 2 review from anyone that's anyone will share the same opinion that his performance was sub-par, although not entirely his fault. Over at Rebelscum, he was layed into daily by someone. I mean, I'm having a hard time in trying to understand how anyone can gauge his overall performance in 1 major movie and a couple of indies, all of which were supporting roles in some part.
I for one refuse to agree on his physical appeal, because it makes no difference. He doesn't exploit his good looks? You ever pick up Vanity Fair, Teen People, Seventeen, etc around the time of the release of Episode 2? My god, you couldn't be furthur from the truth. As for this misconception that he "picks" roles? He took a job from a hack director because of a namesake and guaranteed stardom. I'm not so sure that he's even been OFFERED roles to sleect from, personally, and it seems as if he'll take whatever he'll get in his young career. Let's not overhype him so early.
Where are the reviews for AOTC?
Balls? You mean when they wanted a piece of his pie, when he subsequently became delusional and made "Howard the Duck"?
Spielberg is a hit maker. SPR, Jaws, Duel, Minority Report, The Color Purple, Band of Brothers, E.T., Poltergeist, Gremlins, Empire of the Sun, Roger Rabbit, Amistad, Jurassic Park, Indy...I could go on???
..and by inane ramblings, I'll take it to mean making points and calling a spade a spade, ruining the days of some fangirls? Hey, discuss away.
Signed,
The Homophobic Hayden Hating Ass-hole

That's for one is right, because he hasn't been in that many films I don't think anyone has the right to criticize his acting over all, not even you. How can you call him a bad actor if he has only been in 1 major film and a few indies? And said indies got rave reviews.
He doesn't exploit his good looks, he poses for magazines, true, name one star who doesn't specially when they all want him because of the fact he's so good looking and talented in their opinions, otherwise they wouldn't feature him in thigs such as the best stars under 25 and etc.
I'm sure he's been offered plenty, he is quite wanted nowadays.
Hayden is a great actor, yes he may have been winy in Star Wars but that's how the character was written. He did awesome in his previous films as said from the actors he was working with. His character of Steven Glass was so precise that the actual people who knew the real Steven Glass said he was so much like him it was scary. He's a great actor and I don't think that he's been able to show how good he is in Star Wars, I think that we will be seeing even better performances from him as he continues his career.

I think this film will prove christensen that he can act better than his role of anakin skywalker. I think this will actually turn out really good.

Hayden is a mediocre actor who has far more fame then he deserves. People act as if it's because of his acting that he's so famous, when it's because he's attractive and because he was in the new star wars films. His acting is often flaccid, not unlike an impotent penis, and he often sounds like he's reading dialogue off of a damn Q-card or something.
Also, the statement of "everyone who dislikes hayden is homophobic" is one of the most blatantly idiotic and generalized (falsely) statements I've ever heard in my life. Spoken like a true fan-girl.

hayden lacks subtlety. Every movie he stars in, he always over elaborates on the emotion in his execution. like backfire said, he is nothing more than a run of the mill actor who fell into a role of a lifetime. Much like orlando bloom.

yes, i'm with the last two posters...one of the main reasons if not the only reason this started is because hayden is in the movie, before he hit it mainstream with AOTC, and ROTS i don't remember any praises of hayden form the general society or threads, sigs, pics, and so forth, if your even remotely attractive, and hit it famous than all the girls want to suck your balls and you end up People's Sexiest Man...Ala Ben Affleck
Although this thread is supposed to be about Decameron, it has turned into a discussion about Hayden Christensen and his talent. I first saw him on a show called "Higher Ground" that I absolutely loved, but it was cancelled (it actually still has a large following though-including a petition to bring it to dvd) Anyway...the point is that Hayden Christensen has been known since around 1999 and his acting is better than you may think. As well, as all young actors/actresses do pretty much cash in on publicity, etc., he has veered away from that. Did you hear that he might be leaving show business to become an architect? He is really humble about his acting and talent, and although you may think he is mediocre, he did have a fairly large following before the Star Wars movies came out. I do agree that the acting didn't seem the best in AOTC, but as it has been said, he plays the part he's given and I think he made up for it in ROTS. To say that he doesn't deserve his fame I believe is a little harsh because he proved his acting I believe in LAAH and SG, and even "Higher Ground," before doing the huge blockbuster. This movie "Decameron" will show another side of his acting, but I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised with how good of an actor he really is. Also, I agree that "whoever doesn't like Hayden is homophobic" is a quite ridiculous statement. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And there was a comment about Orlando Bloom also not earning his fame or whatnot...in comparison to OB, I think HC really showcased what he can do before being in a more "heartthrob role, whereas OB first started in LOTR, Troy, and POTC...putting him in blockbuster beautiful hero boy roles, not relying on his talent too much.
Teh Decameron is a great book, so I will definately gonna see it, I don't know if I am too happy aboot Christensen playing in it but we will see.

i'm only going to see this movie because of hayden, and i think it's a good enough reason
