Scratch is annoying

[Osiris]

More I think about it....id vote close this bad boy down..no good can come of this thread.

Awwww, but I wanted to see this troll's proof of having so much talent that he's an authority on skill, story-telling, and direction. This fucking guy must be like Scorsese, but with the acting chops of DeNiro, the way he talks.

Those who can, do.
Those who can't, teach.
Those who aren't good enough to teach, critique.

Then there's this fucking guy. Not intelligent enough to grasp a complex character as simple as Scratch. It's not like there's a shit ton of depth there, it's all out on Front Street, but this guy needs characters to be entirely one dimensional before he can grasp what is going on. The fact that Scratch doesn't sound like the dumbest fuck alive says a lot about a) how the character is portrayed, b) how the character is written, and c) gives the character the chance to work on more levels with its interactions with the characters in the story. Sorry you don't get that.

Go back to watching Entourage, kid. This is obviously way too sophisticated for you, proof of this is how you approach the story, the characters, and take your frustrations out on the actors like you know anything other than stringing together words of hate, ignorance, and stupidity.

As soon as I read the title to this thread I knew s/he was going to earn the wrath of Osiris. I haven't even been around all that long but I know better than to bad mouth Scratch.

Bullshit. You can bad mouth Scratch all you want, and that's fine. You don't like the character? Go ahead and bash away. But there is no reason to launch personal attacks against the actors for doing their jobs. If you have a problem with the way a character is being portrayed, or the way they say their lines, you put the blame where it belongs. You lay it on the director. It's his/her job to get the performances they need out of the actor, and if Kc thought that he wasn't getting what he wanted out of Jenna, he would have recast a long, long time ago.

[Osiris]

All that said, have your opinion, kid. It doesn't make any difference.

This is my only issue with this thread...we are discussing an actual person..not a character...thats not what this forum is here for..in my opinion at least. Hate scratch?..cool..do your thing. But KC isn't gonna pull jenna out of the cast just because one dude doesn't like her acting chops....im done here...have fun.

No need to apologize for the sake of not getting in trouble. Im not going to report you as I give zero fucks about this conversation. I just came on here to voice my opinion on what I think is a shitty performance as I'm entitled to.

It's nothing personal, I'm sure this Jenna girl who plays Scratch is a sweet and great person, she's just not a good fit for the character in my opinion.

You should definitely listen to her talk about how she approaches the Scratch role. It'll probably make you understand her motivations. -- There have been times where Kc has directed her character ahead of time. I believe the only instance of Kc revealing a little unknown backstory to an actor was with Jenna.

With that said, sure, your opinion isn't a popular one. You're entitled to it, rightfully so! I still highly recommend you listen to her interviews and give it another perspective listen

Edit: Re-reading it though: You can dislike the performance, totally fine, just keep in mind that Jenna is a very hard working gal too. So smacking down her entire career is a tad much. T'is all!

Hey, GeOsiris, get you!

[yarri]

Hi I'm new. I'll post an intro thread later. I just wanted to say that whoever plays Scratch is a terrible actor and her voice is annoying and unconvincing.

I like the podcast though.

I think Jenna is an amazingly wonderful actress with courage to take on IMHO the hardest character created by Kc. Further more her natural voice is like honey to my ears. I question your reality if you find her performance as unconvincing, frankly she scares the fucking shit out of me and I'm an old lady.

I'd like to know about your nick of GeOsiris I find it unusual.

I can't find my socks.

I can't find my socks.

If you're sweet to me I'll knit you new ones.
