> > I liked "Dances with Wolves", i dont have anything against Kevin Costner, well, correction, i do have something against all actors, or actrices, who more or less built up an ego, in such way that they can reach the sky (or try to reach the sky).

Yeh, when i come to think about it, you're probably right. Maybe i do have something against the people who worship, i find it quite silly. Although the people who get the worship are sometimes subject of my anger too, since a lot of them seem to *abuse* their fans and the adoration they receive from their fans.

LOL, thats exactly the stuff i find funny too, but i find it funny in a "painfull" way. I feel sorry for them (the teenage girls)

Problem already solved in my other reply. hehe
