Is that bitterness I hear?

    Ah, she has nothing to complain about. The royalty checks are still rolling in today. I wish I were so lucky.

    The only actor I ever felt sorry for was Fred Gwynne, aka Herman Munster. The guy couldn’t land a role for decades after a short stint on “The Munsters” (for which he never saw a dime of royalties).

    That was a shame. He was great in “Pet Sematary” (why did they misspell the title, anyway?) and “My Cousin Vinny”.

    I also enjoyed his performance as the bumbling Austrian magician Balthasar in Mark Twain’s “The Mysterious Stranger”.

    Fisher and Lucas are still good friends, and invite each other to their parties and such. She’s not bitter, she’s just playing up the fact that she got a lot more fame than she could handle at such a young age.

    So many commenters have no idea what a roast is.

    What on Earth takes you so far from the point of this monologue that you decide you are actually hearing real bitterness?

    It’s not bitterness you hear. It’s the cynical echoes of a mind that is locked into misinterpreting the performance in front of you that you hear. A mind so warped by the pressures to get the numbers up on these blog visitors and commentators that all real connection with art, humor and creativity has faded into the distance long ago.

    Now THAT’s bitterness.

    #26 I though your post is a very nice example of what bitterness is.

    So she got screwed out of some royalties in the first film. I hope her agent figured it out by the 3rd one she did.
