My intention was not spite; that statement was serious.

You practically declared that your view of films is filled with preconceptions and childish observations which make your opinion unreliable and practically void.

How am I supposed to take any of your future statements about a film or tv show seriously if there might be some ridiculous preconception hindering your appreciation of the film ?

Are you also discouraged by the masses of hetero actors that constantly play gay characters in films ? Because that is exactly the same paradigm that you implied in your earlier post.

Why are you bringing up the gay stuff? It's not about him being gay - it's about being the total opposite of the role he's trying to perform. It's not the best example, and it's not like it totally affects his performance for me.

But if you think having a preconception about an actor is childish: answer my question about Adam Sandler. Would you be able to watch him play 007 without a preconception? I think not. Preconception will affect the way you see a performance.
Another example: It would be very hard for "house" to successfully play in another hospital tv show as somebody else because he "IS" house.
