What's the deal with Brendan Fraser?

[JuanHamm]

Why is everyone treating him like a Make A Wish kid?

He must be a really great whale

Marketing

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[The Argonaut]

He never stopped acting, he just wasn't in high profile stuff. But he's been around the whole time

[lennytheweedwhacker]

God bless him.

I decided to ignore the rest of your truly horrible post, you're welcome

That framed autograph is still the best thing he’s ever done

Though Encino Man is due for a reappraisal

[JuanHamm]

I haven't seen The Mummy since it came out, but I remember it being ok. I struggle to think of any other movies with Brendan Fraser in them.

[JuanHamm]

Oh yeah, Encino Man. That movie was on comedy central constantly.

It was always either that one or PCU

[The Argonaut]

Some agent stuck his finger up Fraser’s butt at a party and he sunk into a deep depression and didn’t act in anything for like a decade

Where in the thread title does it say "ITT: spread cruel misinformation about beloved icon Brendan Fraser"?

[tree_]

I've never liked B. Fraser, even at the height of his fame. Just rubbed me incorrectly. I can see why some people were into his thang though; he has some charisma. Do you guys remember that movie with him and Ad. Sandler in which they took over a radio station with (fake?) guns to promote their music? that was on Comedy central alot 2. Airheads.

[bart]

Airheads. I saw that twice in the theater at the mall

[Jorge]

Bedazzled was my shit when I was a kid. I used to love that movie.

[The Argonaut]

Encino Man was big in my house because my sister was a nineties teen and thus into Pauly Shore. And then Blast from the Past was another movie that was oft-replayed in my house later on

[bart]

I have trouble picturing Brendan Fraser without him morphing into Jerry O'Connell, and vice versa
