What actual point would that be, then? Legolas Send a noteboard - 13/10/2017 11:55:56 PM

View original postIn the meantime, you're not really interested in engaging my actual point.

I still can't quite figure out your post as you keep denying you've said what it seems to me like you said, while you don't actually explain what you meant instead, then. Other than the blindingly obvious 'luck plays a large role in launching Hollywood careers' part, that is. I don't imagine that that's the point you're expecting me to engage on, so what is?
