i really can't fathom there being breakout stars from this show.

Posted by TFox May 12 '10, 14:22

I try to keep my Glee hatey to a minimum, but holy *fuck*, not a single person on the show can act. They can't even pretend that their lack of ability to act is somehow intentional cheese. They just blow. In the face.

Cory Monteith will be doing porn within five years. -- nm - Dr.Vermin, calling it now. May 12, 14:31 3
- he's the new Chris Klein -- nm - sherlock homie May 12, 14:34 2
  - Klein's now six months away. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 12, 14:38
  - except i'm *certain* he must be nicer than that dolt. -- nm - kare May 12, 14:35
I'm a big fan of Glee, but yeah, I'd agree with the assessment that none of them are great actors. - musubi May 12, 14:25 5
- i think the two cheerleaders are pretty damn good. -- nm - kare May 12, 14:28 2
  - They might be. They're very good at what they're asked to do in the show. But imo, that's not the same thing as being great actors. - musubi May 12, 14:31 1
    - personally I think it requires talent (including subtlety and nuance) to pull off those roles. - kare May 12, 14:38
- Its really a stage acting show. Subtlety does not seem to be desired by the showrunners -- nm - crash davis May 12, 14:27 1
  - Like pixie said, it's camp. - musubi May 12, 14:28
I can't believe that Lea Michele and Chris Colfer won't have plenty of offers in the future. -- nm - Max May 12, 14:24 3
- Lea Michele will do fine, as will Jane Lynch. Ladyface? possibly -- nm - crash davis May 12, 14:25
- and Amber Riley. -- nm - Max May 12, 14:25 1
  - thats a tough call there - the market for what she is selling is crowded -- nm - crash davis May 12, 14:30
I don't think you can say that. Directors and writing have a huge influence on it. Don't believe me, ask Natalie Portman -- nm - crash davis May 12, 14:23 2
- ok, maybe so. but then they'll need to breakout from something else, because they aren't getting the material here. -- nm - TFox May 12, 14:24 1
  - You really don't see Lea Michelle building on the recognition from Glee? - musubi May 12, 14:38
it's campy. they're supposed to be like that -- nm - sherlock homie May 12, 14:22 12
- anyways, I think last nights episode goes on Puck's Broadway audition reel -- nm - crash davis May 12, 14:25
- also, Jane Lynch is already a breakout star from her role on the show -- nm - sherlock homie May 12, 14:24 10
  - I don't think it's from her role on the show. She was doing quite well before it and gaining momentum. -- nm - pmb May 12, 14:27 9
    - she did Chris Guest mockumentaries. this took her from C-Level to B-Level overnight -- nm - sherlock homie May 12, 14:28 8
      - not so. iirc she's part of the judd apatow crew. she stood out in role models. she was already gaining momentum. - kare May 12, 14:30
      - That and the 40 yr. old virgin and a featured part in Role Models (among others). -- nm - pmb May 12, 14:29 6
        
        she was known but now she's famous. - Mel Profit May 12, 14:30 5
        
        They featured her heavily in the advertising for that movie. I don't think people are running around saying "who is that newcomer from Glee?!?" - pmb May 12, 14:34 4
        
        fwiw, I think she's now *way* better known than she ever was before "glee" and she's mentioned it herself in interviews. -- nm - b. May 12, 14:41 1
        
        hmm, b. might be smart enough to watch The Prestige after all -- nm - sherlock homie May 12, 14:43
        
        reread what I posted... - Mel Profit May 12, 14:39 1
        
        Maybe. I don't watch Glee but was well aware of her before. I was surprised to find out she was on the show, so my view is apparently skewed. -- nm - pmb May 12, 14:45
