Sean Astin

[Deleted]

I searched and didn't find a thread for him. I could have sworn there was one. If someone finds it, could they bump it up for me? Thanks.

Anyway, I had an extended response for Noelle about Sean from the Wil Wheaton thread, and I wanted to move it so it would be Topically Correct.

I was slightly obsessed w/ Mr. Astin for pretty much my entire adolecense...

Wow! Really? Wow. Um, would you like the name of my therapist?

Well, it's over now. Actually, I think it started w/ Mikey from The Goonies, and that image just superimposed itself over every role he played thereafter for me. Then I saw IceBreakers and I finally had my epiphany. His strong, liberal left-handed tendencies also turned me off (I think borokat and I are the only conservatives on this board). I mean, politics are a personal opinion, and I believe you can think any way you want, but once you jump the couch about it (lovin' that expression! ;D), you've lost me.

I was completely neutral toward him until I watched the commentary version of the LOTR. He was so annoying. I kept yelling, "Shut the fuck up!" at my television.

ETA: After watching the commentary I felt like calling up Orlando's rep and telling him to get a restraining order against Sean. Sean has some serious love/envy/hate issues going on with Orlando, and it's really obvious if you watch the commentary. It's freaky.

I personally prefer his brother, Mackenzie. But I do like the fact that he has been married for awhile and he has 3 kids. That is refreshing in Hollywood, especially at his age.

Glad to know there are 3 of us here! Sometimes over at FT, I felt a little out of place.

I think he's so cute. I loved seeing his fuzzy, chubby belly on Las Vegas.

Sean Astin + 30 pounds = Sexy.

Sean Astin at normal weight = not so much. Weird, I know.

I remember hearing years ago about him being a real diva on set and overall bitchy to fellow actors he worked with, and I've never liked him since. It just put me off. I had hoped that he would have come to his senses over the years, but Noelle's mention of him re the LOTR commentary makes me think he's still a PITA.

One of the only things I do like about him is the fact that his father is John Astin (I loved him as Gomez in The Addams Family).

Which commentary?

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking me. I got annoyed with Sean during the first and the second of the Lord of the Rings movies when I watched them on DVD with commentary. I haven't watched the third commentary, because I don't want to listen to Sean.

ETA: He's begging for a spanking during both commentaries.
