If Angelina Jolie plays Dagny, the movie may not be worth watching–but then again, she might do well; that’s why they call it acting. Talking about acting, anytime I’ve seen Sandra Bernhard, I couldn’t believe anyone could be that crude and obnoxious in real life, and I used to work in a jail!
And as to the subject of lips, all you have to do to see perfection is look in the mirror.

I just hope I don’t barf when I go to see the movie!! 😉

I may not like it, but I have no reason to try to prevent him from responding to that particular feature.

And if a guy is into women who look like porn princesses, well, maybe he’ll get tired of it some day. In the meantime, I don’t have to knock myself out wondering why he and I would never get together.

As a woman (and former art major in college), obviously I am not looking at (or for) the same things in a woman. I like a certain balance among the facial features.

In real life, I have dated a couple of handsome men and enjoyed their looks, but if they’re all looks and no brains, my interest doesn’t last for
very long.

And while I enjoy going to movies and looking at good-looking men and women, if I read or hear that so-and-so actor/actress sounds like a real bimbo if he/she doesn’t have a script, then my interest in them lessens, and possibly I would refrain from spending my hard-earned money on their next movie (or else wait until it’s out in video or in the clearance bin).

The Baldwin brothers come to mind. Also Martin Sheen, Streisand, and other brainless but braying bimbos of both sexes.

Shallow, superficial men might find them appaealing, and that’s why you see them in the press and on TV and movies. But the rest of us see them as twisted caricatures, accidentally revealing a need to belong, seeking approval from the lowest of human life forms.

The only problem I have with those shallow, superficial people putting other shallow, superficial people in the limelight is that these images leak out to the rest of the world, and our society is judged by it. And rightfully so, maybe.

Gene Tierney, Loretta Young, Linda Darnell where are you? And dammit why did Law and Order go and kill off Annie Parisse?

But my favorite – my one time teenager *love* – was Romy Schneider. How adorable she was on Tavernier’s “Death Watch” (Le Mort en Direct)! [She was a big fav of mine too.]

I’ll say one thing for you Mercer, you cover just about any subject. To go from that obnoxious female megaphone Sandra Bernhard to a major babe like Catherine Deneuve is a journey from the ridiculous to the sublime.
