10 Weird Times Actors Responded To Online Reviews

10. Bryan Cranston Didn't Care For A Festival Review Calling His Direction "Inept" - Last Chance

Though modern social media makes us take actors' online presences for granted, back in the late '90s it was virtually unheard of for celebrities to directly interface with fans or critics.

Bryan Cranston was massively ahead of his time, then, when in 1999 he responded to a review of his first and only feature directing effort to date, Last Chance.

Shortly after the film's premiere at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, a review was posted on IMDB disparaging the writing as "amateur", the direction "inept," and suggesting that Cranston - who wrote, directed, and appeared in the film - stick to acting.

A few weeks later, however, Cranston replied to the review with his own rebuke, claiming that general audiences at the fest rated the film highly, and arguing that the reviewer complimenting the performances was, in a roundabout way, also praising Cranston for writing the parts in the first place.

Cranston also asked the reviewer to elaborate on his story critiques and even begged him to consider removing the veil of online anonymity.

Somewhat unsurprisingly the user, known only as "david-47", didn't take Cranston up on either request.
