Pshaw. I could break that bitch.

I think she looks fine. People, she's a high profile actress in Hollywood, there'll be plenty of time to eat later!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:16 (eighteen years ago) link

Spencer you are a sick man.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:17 (eighteen years ago) link

is it so wrong that i want my unapproachable starlets to have dumps like a truck?

― strng hlkngtn, Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Alex, I'm serious! It doesn't look like she's dying or anything to me.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:20 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm going to tepidly back Spencer on this. Body image control is a part of the movie industry and that's not going to change. She is better as a redhead but she doesn't look emaciatedly skinny to me. Did she get a breast reduction or is that from shedding the pounds?

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:21 (eighteen years ago) link

I'd just like them to look like they eat once in a while (dumps like a truck would be a bonus!)

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:21 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm always slightly weirded out by the knee-jerk negative reaction to skinny women.

Jess on the other hand is merely 'expressing' a preference.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:23 (eighteen years ago) link

The fact that this is a HOLLYWOOD enforced image doesn't make it any less unappealing.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:23 (eighteen years ago) link

i've seen this trailer SOOOOOOOO many times

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:24 (eighteen years ago) link

incidentally i saw kicking & screaming yesterday and it was bad

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Obviously there are actors who take it too far, and that's a problem, but there are plenty who gain or lose weight to take on particular roles. Brad Pitt pumps a lot of iron so he can play Achilles etc.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:25 (eighteen years ago) link

you're killing my buzz, people

― strng hlkngtn, Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:25 (eighteen years ago) link

She doesn't look emaciated? She looks like fucking Skeletrix.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Again, I am 99% sure the picture in the red dress is photoshopped.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:27 (eighteen years ago) link

I hope so. The hair is still a nightmare.

"Obviously there are actors who take it too far, and that's a problem, but there are plenty who gain or lose weight to take on particular roles. Brad Pitt pumps a lot of iron so he can play Achilles etc."

This isn't about Robert DeNiro. This about a system which basically dictates that you can't weigh more than 105 and be in a film. And this isn't skinny. Some people are born skinny and have high metabolism. This is starvation + ridiculous amounts of exercise + plastic surgery. It's pretty sick.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:28 (eighteen years ago) link

People, people. We will never agree on Lindsey Lohan's ideal weight.

― strng hlkngtn, Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Lindsey Lohan's ideal weight = the shot in the bikini, maybe 5 pounds more. Close thread, everyone go home.

― Alan Conceicao (Alan Conceicao), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:30 (eighteen years ago) link

How is this demand that women be heavier any less dictatorial?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Personally I find Ms Lohan's body weight less of an issue than the fact that Herbie is an old, unsafe model of Beetle.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:32 (eighteen years ago) link

that's hollywood for you, tracer.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:34 (eighteen years ago) link

did i ever mention on ilx that the vw bus my mom drove when i was a kid blew up?

― strng hlkngtn, Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:35 (eighteen years ago) link

"How is this demand that women be heavier any less dictatorial?"

Oh yeah, that's totally just as bad except no one is doing it.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:36 (eighteen years ago) link

well, i am

― strng hlkngtn, Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:39 (eighteen years ago) link

STRONGO'S DESIRES WILL TOPPLE HOLLYWOOD'S BODY IMAGE HEGEMONY!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Perhaps Ms Lohan negotiated with Hollywood that in exchange for her forced starvation the movie would feature an older Beetle with generous mudflaps.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:44 (eighteen years ago) link

All those in favor of watching Luna break Lindsay Lohan's will, raise your hand...

With puppies...

― Sexxitime (ModJ), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:45 (eighteen years ago) link

I find the notion that women should be round or curvy to be equally as arbitrary as anything that Hollywood supposedly "enforces."

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:51 (eighteen years ago) link

Whatever.

― Nice dodge (Alex in SF), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:52 (eighteen years ago) link

people! let us not forget what bought us here today. namely an anthropomorphic car film

― strng hlkngtn, Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:54 (eighteen years ago) link

I love you, Herbie.

RIDE THE BUG

― Jimmy Mod, Sultan of Sexxitime (ModJ), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:56 (eighteen years ago) link

(also, follow where that picture is linked from, if you dare)

― Jimmy Mod, Sultan of Sexxitime (ModJ), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:56 (eighteen years ago) link

I sense a lot of uncalled-for venom in the statements here about her being too thin.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:57 (eighteen years ago) link

THE PRESIDENTIAL PRAYER TEAM??????

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh baby

― Jimmy Mod, Sultan of Sexxitime (ModJ), Thursday, 12 May 2005 22:58 (eighteen years ago) link

it's not really that arbitrary, but whatever

― ()ops (()()ps), Thursday, 12 May 2005 23:00 (eighteen years ago) link

Why are you upset about people saying she's too thin? Who cares? I think she is, but I don't actually give a shit 'cause hey, her body, right? I just tend to want to force feed everyone a cheeseburger. Call it a character flaw if you must.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 12 May 2005 23:02 (eighteen years ago) link

Luna, I haven't eaten dinner yet...

― Jimmy Mod, Sultan of Sexxitime (ModJ), Thursday, 12 May 2005 23:03 (eighteen years ago) link

C'mere...

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 12 May 2005 23:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Frankly luna, I was a little put off by statements like: "I could break that bitch" and "She looks like fucking Skeletrix" among others.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 12 May 2005 23:03 (eighteen years ago) link

lighten up, dude

― ()ops (()()ps), Thursday, 12 May 2005 23:04 (eighteen years ago) link

don't worry poor widdew Windsay, Spencer will save you from those mean Internets!

― Shakey Mo Coolier, Thursday, 12 May 2005 23:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Something many people forget in their railing at the 12-foot lizards who have enslaved Hollywood casting directors in their skinny hegemony is that the camera adds about 5-10 pounds.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 12 May 2005 23:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Which it does.

― Jimmy Mod, Sultan of Sexxitime (ModJ), Thursday, 12 May 2005 23:06 (eighteen years ago) link

sigh

― strng hlkngtn, Thursday, 12 May 2005 23:07 (eighteen years ago) link

But I'm not saying them about you, and unless she's your sister, I fail to see how you could take them so personally. I don't know her, you don't either, and I've said much worse about better people.

Besides, she DOES look too thin... assuming that picture is her and is not photoshopped. She looks like a lollipop with legs. I find that unattractive. From the discussion on this thread, it ain't just me... but I digress.

I apologize if I offended you - I talk a lot of shit, it's true, but it's usually all in jest, and I wouldn't intentionally offend someone.
