if you listen real closely you can hear, mixed in with the howling wind, "nonononononononono" but you have to have a good ear.

What? So you mean... no, I won't get in that debate.

But, because people pay for something, it makes the service suddenly righteous?

What makes this post even worse is that you seem entirely convinced of its bizarre logic

Drug dealers
Hired assassins
Child pornographers
Human traffickers
Game show hosts

There are no justifications

There is a whole documentary about this

Many people argue that the moment you decide that you want to be famous, you give up your privacy. You know what's going to happen. And I sort of agree.


difference in trying to be professional and then try to chase down ppl; ruining time with family and trying to get nude or up skirt pics.

Then what does that make Shia Lebeouf?

He's a rebel man. He doesn't go by the man's rules of getting a picture taken. The dude's a hero for fighting the system man.

um, really?

pimps deliver a service too, for people interested in pedophilia. But that's an extreme example. But yes, paparazzi are generally scum of the earth.

That description also applies to human traffickers, criminal organ harvesters, drug cartels, and just about every other shady profession you could imagine :lol

Edit: But I get what you're trying to say it should be acceptable as long as it's legal.
 
I don't really understand the clip. He calmly zips up his bag, runs, throws coffee on a dude, and keeps running? Seems like he had to know people were watching him, why bother with mildly irritating one of them if he's going to look like a douche?

Maybe he was ashamed to be caught in skinny jeans?

Yeah, I noticed those. That lost the respect he earned on that episode of Even Stephens where they played a rock song on the roof of the high school.

lets be real its not like what the paparazzi do is news to anyone. Before people like labeouf even decided to go into acting he was aware of what might happen if he becomes famous. Paparazzi are EVERYWHERE if you're famous this isn't some sort of shocking news.

Does it suck that paparazzi would do stuff like trying to be at private moments? yes, but at the same time when you literally pay people to get your name out there so that people know who you are then its inevitable that you will be stalked.

They help sustain the careers of the celebrities that whine so much about them. I don't care for paparazzi, but I care even less for people who moan about them.

And it's not as if LeBouf throwing coffee on one of them is going to do anything to help mitigate the amount of paparrazzi that follow him. The more erratic and silly you seem to become publicly the more interesting you appear to the papparazzi.

Why do people hate Shia so much? Just because he stars in a lot of popular movies?
Because he swims in pussy, rolls around on 24" chrome, and smiles as he fucks up their childhood memories

And here I thought it was good scripts, good directors, and good acting. Silly me.

Judging by the amount of publications and interest that's generated by magazines that rely on these photos, yes: silly you.

I'm sure people are really talking about Shia now because of his excellent acting in Transformers 2.

Making all that money and hes wearing some shitty jeans :lol

Maybe he doesn't care about fashion. Or maybe he does and his taste is different from yours. Either way, trying to tear him down for his pants is sad.

Hey, low-IQ action blockbusters count, too. If that's the intent of the director and if that is the intent of the script and if that is the intent of the casting, then it's what I would deem "good script", "good director", and "good acting" because it's the intent of the movie. I'd guess that, by and large, people didn't go see Transformers because Shia LeBeouf was in it or because they cared about his private life, but because they wanted a low-IQ, popcorn action flick. In that respect, the acting, directing, and script accomplished their intended goals. It's not like Bay or LeBeouf goes into one of these thinking they're going to come out with an Oscar, but it's what audiences want to see.

Even Shia didn't consider Transformers 2 to be very good. Please don't try to spin this. I was a fan of the first. I'm a fan of low-IQ popcorn films, but Transformers 2 was pretty shit.

And if you re-read what I said I'm only arguing that papparazzi help sustain these careers. They do this by keeping certain actors relevant, talked about and in pop culture's general limelight. Unless someone gets a photo of Shia sacrificing a baby, whatever gaff he does is still helping his image in some way. You think 16 year old fans are shunning him for throwing coffee on a mean ol' papparazzo? No. They're probably thinking he's pretty bad-ass, which makes him even easier to market, etc. This really isn't an off-the-wall argument.

always the greatest paparazzi moment ever....

you see that tactic a lot where, knowing how concerned celebrities are about their image, paparazzi try and make the celebrity look bad in order to get them to cooperate or, at least, generate a broader relationship between celebrities and paparazzi in which there's an understanding that you should cooperate or be slandered

scum of the (mainstream) earth
 
I despise every part of the celebrity-worshiping culture. Actors are not role models and no one should be so interested in what they say any more than they are in the daily life and opinions of plumbers and electricians.

Whether he thinks it's good or not is really irrelevant. There are multiple measures of what's good and what's not. And whether you like it or not, one measure of goodness is financial success at the box office and beyond, regardless of the critical merits of the movie.

And if you re-read what I said I'm only arguing that papparazzi help sustain these careers.

Here's a mind game you can play. Is the following statement true: if the papparazzi didn't exist, movies and actors would still exist.

If you answer "Yes", then they don't sustain anything.
