Sundar, is that gin + grapefruit juice, or the two separately? I am curious because my consumption of non-water liquids is about 40% gin/tonic and 50% grapefruit juice (10% Guinness -- I only drink things that start with G?), so your answer struck me as in very good taste.

― nabisco, Tuesday, 23 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Gin + grapefruit juice. Like vodka + orange juice. Better for you than tonic, you know.

Well, in practice actresses and actors do fundamentally different things, just like female and male tennis players. The overlap between the performances of two actresses is much greater than the overlap between the performances of an actress and an actor. But yeah, I should've put Maggie ahead of Denzel.

I reckon for everyone who's not a totally balanced bisexual then separation of Actor & Actress is valid - favourite actors and actresses are nothing to do with acting and everything to do with sex.

― toraneko, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

admittedly I'm an UNbalanced bisexual, but I only have any sexual thing for 4 to 5 of the 20 acting faves I listed.

― halo halo, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

if i didnt separate out male/female actors, then i would have listed no men, and that wouldn't have been very sporting.
why? doesn't make sense to me. Why sshouldn't all your favourite actors be female?

― halo halo, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

favourite actors and actresses are nothing to do with acting and everything to do with sex.
oh that must be why i don't have any, right.

― unknown or illegal user, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

ok, and what doesn't make sense to me is why this is a big deal. are we saying there is no difference between men and women?

― Ron, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think we're disagreeing over whether acting simply counts as a craft or profession. It it does, why would you make a distinction? Would you ask 'favourite male architect' and 'favourite female architect'? or even favourite male vs female artist? Insofar as most (screen) actors are as much attraction fetishes as professionals/artist, then a distinction is made.

― Ellie, Friday, 26 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

sure, its a profession but that's a small part of the interest. i think i need liz or someone to explain to me carefully what the problem is, so that i can think about it. also, because of the sex element, 'favorite' really has little to do with whether they are technically good or not. good and hott would be a great combo though. i maybe should not be talking about this

How often do movie producers say "I don't mind if a man or a woman plays this major role"? Of course it's not remotely the same thing

I wish they would think like that more often - so often there are roles that just automatically go to men (ie the main roles) that could just as easily have gone to women...just because women are cast in and take part in roles that have some particular gendered aspect tthem doesn't mean there is fundamentally something different about acting and "actressing".
I don't think architecting or acting are merely professions but I think maybe a singer/singess analogy would fit better...?
