I try not to take any of it too seriously and I think you feel the same. <BR/><BR/>As for von Stroheim, it's one thin to be thought of as a villainous hun. That I could take. I'd just hate for you to become thought of as the Ann Coulter of Kansas City.FletcherDodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00870340800475532887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-81658055203946561302007-06-09T04:37:00.000-05:002007-06-09T04:37:00.000-05:00This is a really awesome quote and I feel ashamed ...This is a really awesome quote and I feel ashamed that it didn't come to mind earlier given that I'm a fan of Vonnegut.<BR/><BR/>I like XO's reasoning and Spyder made me laugh. <BR/><BR/>I wish I had an answer that was as insightful as the post . . . Really, I got nothing here but I have to note that you got me thinking . . . Especially about typecasting. God Bless Mark Hamill. However, I can't say I'd be that unpleased if I ended up with a career like Erich von Stroheim. <BR/><BR/>Also, it's about time I made this blog a favorite . . .

Tony, if he pushes it a bit too far, risks loss of credibility and relevance. <BR/><BR/>It was no big deal when he was anonymous and nobody knew who he was. But as he does more and more interviews on the radio and newspapers etc., it may become difficult for people to separate his online persona from his real-life one. <BR/><BR/>Kind of like an actor being typecast as bad guy or a dufus or an extra at a drive-in restaurant. <BR/><BR/>At least, that's how I see it.FletcherDodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00870340800475532887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-26317975334777525332007-06-07T23:40:00.000-05:002007-06-07T23:40:00.000-05:00Let's see.

That is total immersion with the possibility of death if exposed.<BR/><BR/>That's a bit different from a blogger wrapping him/herself in a persona for the purpose of entertaining, enlightening or generating a dialogue.Xavier Onassishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345787343828318445noreply@blogger.com
