Hayden Christensen can act!

English teachers always say not to take someone else's
thoughts or words & pass them off as your own. What
if you take your own thoughts and words but pass them
off as someone else's?

Some might look at it as doing another's work and not
getting credited. But, what if that other person
doesnt even exist? In the world of Journalism,
"cooking" an article (or fabricating some or all of a
piece) is not acceptable.

This issue is addressed in Billy Ray's directorial
debut "Shattered Glass." The film is based on an
article written in 1998 by Adam Penenberg (Steve Zahn)
of Forbes Digital magazine about Stephen Glass (Hayden
Christensen), a writer for New Republic, who
practiced unethical journalism.

Hayden Christensen is fantastic as the ambitious, and
irritatingly apologetic Glass. i honestly dont know
where his acting skills went when he was in Attack of
the Clones.

It's common knowledge that George Lucas is somewhat of a charisma vacuum.

That's the only way to explain Samuel L. Jackson's complete lack of cool in those flicks.

I've been avoiding seeing Episode 2, and will probably avoid Episode 3, because I've grown dissillusioned with Lucas. I mean the acting in the original trilogy wasn't going to sweep the Oscars, but at least it was watchable.

Maybe he should switch to animation and avoid actually working with living actors?

It's actuall the NEW REPUBLIC. A common mistake, but one that would probably offend the editorial staff of the real magazine.
