Sadly I know more than one irl female over the age of 28 that would probably say something similar.

1) she is very attractive2) she was pretty ace in Almost Famous. Perhaps the best thing about it besides F. McDormand. 3) literally everything else i've seen her in (which is admittedly not much) has been aggressively mediocre to outright terrible

I would like to reiterate:
Briefly, she mulls over what to do with the painting of a pair of moccasins on the wall. It came with the trailer and is so hideous and comically southwestern that at first I thought Deschanel had put it there as a joke. Irony isn’t her style, though. “I’m worried if I pull these weird things down, they’re going to be mad at me,” she says. “So I’m trying to figure out something I can put oooooover this.” She demonstrates by holding up a picture of smiling lambs she happens to have lying around.
100% hilarious

I really have no opinion on her at all. I think AF and ELF are the only things I've ever seen her in and she was OK, I guess. Never listened to her band. She's very pretty in a very non-threatening way which is fine. I just immediately thought of that article when reading through this thread.

fyi on her new show her character comes across less like an infant and more like a nerd who is unaware that she is pretty
― sick yr finger up his butt (DJP), Monday, 19 September 2011 13:38 (twelve years ago) link
I saw her in "Hitchhiker's Guide", or rather I saw about 24 minutes of it and she was in it somewhere. I don't remember ever seeing her in anything else. Non-threatening pretty?

her new girl character comes across as mentally disabled imo

erica that article is actually mentioned in the new york deschanel profile that kicked off this thread's revive fwiw.

hmm, that article sits uneasily with me, particularly the idea that women do it in part to attract men (??) and that women who are into cute/twee stuff aren't educated or bright.

i forget what thread it was where someone questioned whether girls could be hipsters -- feel like zooey/the type talked about in ENBB's article is essentially hipster
― toy and candy planet (reddening), Monday, 19 September 2011 13:44 (twelve years ago) link
what is the grown-ass dude version of this syndrome? sitting around talking about thundercats? nostalgia for the days of osh-kosh corduroy overalls? i feel like there's gotta be an analog.
― strongo hulkington's ghost dad, Monday, 19 September 2011 13:44 (twelve years ago) link
Reddening - yes, those are two of the things that I found questionable too.

the grown-ass dude version of this is the man-boy archetype in like every romantic comedy from the past ten years, but it's supposed to be unattractive. seth rogen in knocked up type thing.

I never noticed her until she had a brief role on Weeds — a character so irritating I just wanted Jack Bauer to swoop in and nuke all of southern California.

i am married to a Cute American and do not hate all adult women who are openly engaged in Cute interests and personal habits. my distaste for ZD has more to do with her lousy music, played out fashion sense, unremarkable acting, mostly terrible acting projects, blank personality and puzzling belief that she has comedic talent.

I didn't mind "Hitchhiker's" but suffering through "Tin Man" made me really hate a whole bunch of people I used to like or was ambivalent about
