Least attracrive lead actress (a thread dedicated to The Shining) - Page 5

This...is completely incorrect.

I'm sorry!

Gonna cutcha

I'll accept it with noble grace.

I'd ruin her for other men. And she's a good twenty years older than me. She certainly gets my blood pumping!

Jake, could you please set this cursed thread on fire?

I eagerly await the day that someone starts a thread entitled "Ugly Bitches: Why These Rich Broads Ain't Fit To Touch My Dong".

Actually no, no I don't.

Personally, I'm a bigger fan of the ample supply of "Clearly, Clearly These Rich, Unbelievably Beautiful, Talented Broads Are Just Dying to Touch My Dong" threads that we've got around here. They always make me chuckle.

... or at least hire an arsonist to do the job right.

"This thread... has been rightly FLAMED!!!" (I'm trying to get on the good side of MissZooey and The League of Librarians...)

owwwww...my dong!!

Least attracrive flame-throwing robot ever.

owwwww...Graham's dong!!

That's fuckin' awesome!

If my fingernails were made of candy it wouldn't be as cool as this pic.

Oh, but you forgot, "Clearly, Clearly These Rich, Unbelievably Beautiful, Talented Broads Are Just Dying to Touch My Dong, and there's no WAY I'd ever let them!"

You're up late.

I have a new desktop.

See, I thought that went without saying. But, as long as you bring it up, isn't it just adorable?

Wow... I missed out on a lot of fucking bullshit, didn't I? (But thank you for making me snort COFFEE! out of my nose you motherfuckers.)

Just an interesting anecdote to share here and it didn't warrant a blog. Please read...

I'm sure you all remember a little movie called The Scarlet Letter. (Yes, it's a pity that you have not removed it from your memory).

Well... Shortly after that movie came out, I had a discussion with a female friend who was going on and on about how sexy Robert Duvall was. Like: "My God! And that Robert Duvall! He was so hot! I would do him in a second... I get wet just thinking about Robert Duvall..." Stuff like that and it went on and on for a while. And I sat there kind of puzzled at first. The others at the table were equally confused. Someone said: "Look. I could show you, right now, some pictures of actors who are much sexier and better-looking than Robert Duvall"

I began to rationalize... I can kind of make a case for someone thinking that Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now is kind of "sexy" in that beefcake way. There's a boy-next-door attractiveness to him in The Godfather. And if you like bad boys, I can see you finding him interesting in The Great Santini. And... maybe, just maybe, there's a grandad-I'd-like-to-fuck quality to him in Falling Down simply because the character he plays is so god damn decent, and Rachel Ticotin obviously has a boner for him - But... You thought he was sexy in The Scarlet Letter? Really? I mean, honestly?

The whole purpose of his character in that ill-conceived, undisputed POS is that he's a villainous, repulsive, MONSTER... What did you find attractive?

Then she began talking about the love scene with Demi Moore and it became immediately clear that she had confused him with Gary Oldman and had no idea who the bloody fucking hell Robert Duvall even was.

The matter was cleared up and we all laughed for fifteen minutes. It was a pleasant afternoon in the sun with burgers, fries and a coke.

What was the point of this anecdote?

None whatsoever.

Much like this thread.

I mean, c'mon!

Now I see it.

Frankly, it should have been obvious from the start.

You should tell your friend that she was right to be wrong.

Here's the full photo. Leia is singing lead vocal:

NEW DESKTOP! Goodbye, Wall-E!

That's a keeper.

Bump.
I rise the bet with Vanessa Ferlito.

You are insane, aren't you?

She's hot as hell.

Her nose kinda freaks me out, but otherwise she's a pretty attractive young lady that I would like to take out for coffee and discuss her work with Tarantino on Death Proof.

... sarcasm?

That always makes me laugh.

That smelled like a bait post to me.

I'm not biting.

I will say this: All you guys who think Maggie Smith is hot?

You're wrong.

I used to take guys like you out for coffee and discuss your work with Tarantino on Death Proof in prison.

Yes, I was just throwing some bait. My bad. Yesterday, I just watched Death Proof and she is great. She also played doomed love interest for heroin addict Jack Bauer long time ago and she was really hot indeed.

Speaking of The Shining's lead actress:

Jack Nicholson's The Shining co-star Shelley Duvall has been exposed as an alien-obsessed crazy lady in a U.S. tabloid expose.

The actress, who also starred opposite Robin Williams in Popeye, has friends and neighbours in Blano, Texas worried because she spends night after night patrolling her backyard, convinced her home is a portal for little green men.

One local tells the Globe, "Shelley is such a tragic soul. I feel terrible for her and wish someone could step in and do something. She desperately needs help."

Blano residents tell the tabloid that 60-year-old Duvall, who hasn't acted since 2002, flashes her car lights in a bid to communicate with extra-terrestrials and "wanders around town... looking dishevelled, strange and totally crazy."

Another local says, "She mutters to herself and talks about aliens living in her body."

And a local hardware supplier adds, "One time she came in and asked for dirt and boards to block up a hole in her backyard because, she said, 'That's a portal into another dimension. That's where the aliens are coming in.'"

Sorry to get all serious in this thread but as a kid who grew up with Popeye and watching each and every episode of Shelley Duvalls Faerie Tale Theatre many, many times, this news actually makes me incredibly sad.

On the Asian side, I've always thought that Shu Qi looked a bit on the weird side.

She's decent looking. But a stunner. No.

Right.

They're called amoebas. Parasites. We all have them. They are alien forms living inside our bodies.

...

Unless she means extraterrestrials... In which case, she's fucking insane.

Kubrick really did a number on her, didn't he.

Is that what you'd call pulling a "Kidder"?

Blano, TX?

Either Plano or Blanco, I think. Editor failed.

Edited to add: Confirmed it is Blanco.

Fun fact: She is from Houston and was discovered by Altman. She debuted in Altman's Brewster McCoud. Still need to revisit that flick.

No, this is what you'd call pulling a Kidder.

It's not so much the alien thing I have a problem with. It's the incosistency in her approach. If the aliens are a problem, stop flashing your high beams DAMMIT! Don't get all crazy with the car lights and then try to block out their portal with boards and dirt. That's what is called sending mixed signals.

Why do I get the feeling she's using the dirt and boards to protect us all from:

Duvall was an example of perfect casting, but I think the flaw of the film is that we already know Jack loathes his family way before they arrive at the hotel; supernatural, metaphysical intervention wasn't needed for him to take an axe to his family.

Amazing.

That's not a flaw, it's an improvement over the book. King wrote a story about how a perfectly ordinary, good guy turns into a sick, twisted, abusive monster. The change is too much to buy into. Kubrick turned it into a story about a guy who's buried his disdain for his family until events draw it out. That's far more interesting, and feels more real.
