like I feel that my transition from pre-teen to real teenager was when i decided Crispin Glover was more desirable than Michael J Fox in Back to the Future.

He totally did and the casting was perfect because he just looks like a complete asshole. It's true.

I dunno, I think he made good choices considering the long run. Dude's got a much cooler legacy even if he will always be the mouthy asshole kid brother.

Ha ha, LL, I'm impressed that you manage to remember how to spell Marty Willson-Piper. (My former housemate had the most tortured and complicated, um... crush isn't even the right word, on him.)
Damn, this thread moves fast when I'm at work and can't answer.
I know the subject has moved on, but there was a throwaway comment up there that did kinda make me think, about the weird cognitive tricks that the mind plays on you, with regards to ageing.
Because it's funny, Blur *don't* look really young to me, on this thread. They look like, well, Blur. And I get the same thing when I look at pictures over the years of Thom Yorke - I can usually tell what year it is by his haircut, but I don't usually think "he looks really young there" even in the ones where he's like, 22. (OK, there's one where he's 15 that I think "jailbait... but still would.) I feel like I'm the age that I was when I first saw that photo, and he is about my age.
But then, with other actors posted on this thread, who are the same sort of age, I think "jesus christ, how can you perve over him, that is an CHILDE!"
But I think it doesn't happen with Blur and Radiohead, because I've been following them for 20 years, and they have kind of aged along with me. The same way that when I look at photos of my family from, like, 1985, I don't think "oh god we're all children" I just think "oh that's my cousin, I remember that Christmas."
Am I the only one that gets that? Does that particular cognitive trick only really work on people that you have been looking at (or looking at pictures at) continually for the whole of the aging process?
p.s. I don't like that porn star at all myself, but compared to what straight-porn dudes usually look like, yes, vast improvement.

loooool thank you! i loved the lower half of his face a lot!
― nicest bitch of poster (La Lechera), Monday, 25 June 2012 19:25 (twelve years ago) link
He had a sassy mouth. And sassy things came out of it. Shame about the butt-chin, though.
― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Monday, 25 June 2012 19:28 (twelve years ago) link
Wait, one of the album covers, he was wearing a ponytail, so you could see his whole face!
(I remember this clearly, because my housemate had a photo of me sitting on the sofa, holding up said album cover pretending to be him.)
He was not bad looking. He was just hilariously pretentious. Romantic Gypsy Kin-gah and all.
― White Chocolate Cheesecake, Monday, 25 June 2012 19:29 (twelve years ago) link
Ha ha, Art Attack!
You can still only see half his face, mind. Just a different half from usual.

ok so i watched river's edge again. exceeded my expectations tbh. i had forgotten that keanu (1) was so angry (the scene where he gets interrogated by the police is great, you've got FOOD EATER!)and (2) them moral center of the movie, aided by the stunning Ione Skye, who basically every hip young lady with long hair tries to look like now, amirite?
i had also forgotten the DOUBLE down by the river stories (John's and Feck's) and how they talked about it, and wondered if people recognized this as a classic murder ballad plot back when the movie came out, or?
also the music was great. the end.
― nicest bitch of poster (La Lechera), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 15:45 (twelve years ago) link
the moral center, not them! oops
theres some real bad acting in that movie
crispin ftw

i love it when the mom freaks out at the top of the stairs
keanu is really ott but that's part of what i like about it. the cartoonish behavior of teenagers is cartoonish, right? maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
― nicest bitch of poster (La Lechera), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 15:55 (twelve years ago) link
i feel like keanu is one of the best actors in that movie, sadly!
obv dhop and crispin are good
― the most astonishing writer on ilx (roxymuzak), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 15:56 (twelve years ago) link
i guess all teenagers are acting, so i couldn't really see the difference between acting for the movie and acting because they were real life living breathing teenagers
― nicest bitch of poster (La Lechera), Tuesday, 26 June 2012 15:58 (twelve years ago) link
I feel like Alex James has slimmed down for this whole Olympics/rooftop show splash. Also I want to go to this 'feastival' he and Jamie are putting on but that's unlikely. ;_;

Welp, my parents are still crazy about weight, notably everyone else's, including famous people on tv.
Watching The Pelican Brief, my dad says of Julia Roberts, "By the time she made this movie, she was already not thin anymore." (This is nonsense, her chin was sharp enough to cause bodily harm to the other actors and possibly the furniture.)
My mother told me I could lose weight if I "worked on portion control."
My dad said if I stopped eating doughnuts (I was eating a doughnut at that moment), my work-outs & activities would go further. I told him yes, but my life would also be terribly sad.
To all of which, I say: FFFFF UUUUU!!!

Thanks. I just needed to get that off my chest.

oh, man, Laurel. fwiw it took me about three years to wean my mother off making unsolicited remarks about my weight and how I could lose it. but she has stopped, unbelievably. i wish i could stop her from talking about how disgustingly fat she is around me, but i guess that's her business. anyway, i'm sorry, but i found that telling my mother it was inappropriate for her to police my body and that i wouldn't respond to any such comments in the future eventually worked. it took a long time.
