In the case of Lara Croft, the movie didn't start that. The game did.
And I think you were right about Uma in Kill Bill. She wasn't sexed up IIRC.
No, because we want our actresses and actors to be attractive people. Any guy who's played an action hero has more than his share of swooning fans.
Besides, there's just no cap on attractive. I don't find Kirsten Dunst attractive. But if she was portrayed as an action hero and her sexuality was as downplayed as much as possible, I believe there would still loads of dudes going ZOMG HOTTT!!!11!
But yeah, the instant half-shirt in AOTC was hard to believe.
But the title - such a title! "Y'all better vote for Obama" LOL!!
Oh well.
Yes on this thread, and on the following:
This is an awesome thread, and it has inspired me. Just as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen played a single character on TV, so I will live as two different people in real life. TV never steered anyone wrong before, so I feel like I'm making a good decision here. The unfortunate part is that both of me are fat.
Thank you very much!
I was following my friend closely at the time, trying to get his attention and stop him from acting the fool, and I'm certain that it appeared to others that my friend and I were BOTH causing a commotion. For that matter, maybe I really was - I just didn't remember it that way.
Maybe he has a leap year birthday and he turns fifteen in 2012.
If anyone could find the adywan thread meltdowns, that'd be awesome. The search engine, imperfect though it is, can help you find the meltdown by plugging in any phrase you might be able to remember from that thread. I've found a couple of fun old threads that way.
Actually ferris, this happened to me years ago in a nightclub. I went there with two friends, one of whom was the DD - me and the other friend were already pretty soused when we got there. Not long after we arrived, the other friend decided to make a complete circuit around the inside of the club, causing a minor commotion as he went along. So naturally we were escorted outside. When the officer had me follow the light, he stopped and reminded me to follow with my eyes. I replied, "But it's hard!" My luck being incredibly good that night, our sober friend knew that cop and convinced him not to do anything to us. We had to leave the club, of course.
Lesson learned. I haven't been drunk in about four years. I can't even remember the last time I had a drink.
But how am I supposed to look at it without moving my head?
All the hostility in this thread reminded me of this:

And you have been the worst TV's fucking Frink!!! So go fuck yourself silly
I posted this in the wrong thread. Am I drunk?
This thread is about...Nothing!!!
No one besides me AFAIK.
I'm tempted to post a link at baseball-fever.com, but then there might be a huge wave of players.
Suppose the OT and PT were mixed together and presented in one hour episodes? As I have watched a lot of LOST recently, the storytelling device (for those unfamiliar) used on that show is to present current events and flashbacks in an alternating sequence. What if each one hour episode was set primarily in the OT with certain plot points triggering the relevant flashback from the PT?
bkev, by all means, edit your list as often as necessary. We're after the greatest song ever; this should be done right.
And I love Touch of Grey. Probably the hardcore Deadheads hate it since it got airplay,lol.
See, this is why we can adjust our lists.
Yeah, but "Sheriff" and "Deputy" aren't names.
How about..."I shot the Sidious (pronounced Sid-yuhs), but I did not shoot the second Sith..." now the syllable problem has been addressed and they're in the right order.
It would have worked much better switching Vader and Palpatine, speaking syllabically.
bkev's first post in the thread gave me pause - acts like the Grateful Dead didn't chart well in the singles chart for the most part but they were nevertheless a very popular band. In that vein, in bkev's second post Aerosmith's "Dream On" appears on his nominations list. That song peaked at #59, but it seems to me that everyone and their dog knows the song, so I'll allow it unless we have any objections.
As will be reflected in the original post, the #2 rule is not absolute, thanks to bkev.
No, because we're looking for songs.
I see where you're coming from. The songs I nominated are not literally my favorite songs; they're my favorite songs that reached a general audience. My personal favorites are overwhelmingly instrumental, and no one would know them.
I hate Pink. I mean, really hate.
The singer, of course.
I don't know how to answer this question without coming off silly or rude. I remember seeing your name in this section, but that was when I was posting once every five months or so. I suppose not answering would have sufficed. But I'm OK. I guess...?
