I swear to God, I just cannot for the life of me see the attractiveness of

[Thtwudbeme]

Angelina Jolie. I know there are DUers that find her attractive, but she just looks like a snake about to strike to me. There was another actress from the forties that had that very same, "I WILL get exactly what I want" look on her face, but I can't remember who it was.

Some of the Victoria's Secrets models are going for that same "I will put this spiked heel of my sandal through your heart" look too----

Mean looking women representing a mean society---yuk.

[RebelOne]

1. Most men like that look. They like bad girls.

Just as many women like bad boys. At least I do.

[Thtwudbeme]

3. I am so glad I outgrew "bad boys." They are cute

but they are the BIGGEST pain in the ass!

I think Michael used to be a bad boy! He's still cute, but definetly not a pain in the ass!

[Midlodemocrat]

20. LOL. When I was young, I was addicted to bad boys.

I used to run downstairs in the morning and grab the paper before my dad could see which one of the current crop was in the police blotter.

I ended up married to the straightest arrow on the planet. Probably the only person in my generation who didn't smoke pot.

Who knew? I did outgrow my bad boy thing, but there is one I think about once in a while.

[Missy Vixen]

60. Me and your husband

>Probably the only person in my generation who didn't smoke pot.<

I've never smoked anything. I've never used an illicit substance, either. :boring:

In the meantime, bad boys never did it for me. I was always into overgrown Boy Scouts. This explains why I married DH and why I have The Thing That Won't Die for Patrick Fitzgerald :blush:.

Julie

[Midlodemocrat]

65. Isn't it funny?

Now that I have a teenaged girl, if she was attracted to the same sort I was I would have a fit.

But, interestingly, the man I married is a lot like my dad, real down to earth, devoted, hard worker, always putting his family first.

I don't think I would have ever been with a bad boy for good. I am too materialistic. :blush:

[leftofthedial]

2. you say "spiked heel through your heart"

like it's a bad thing

[Thtwudbeme]

4. LOL

My style is way more "Birkenstock in your face!"

;)

[necso]

57. Lol.

[CBHagman]

5. Now you've intrigued me.

I'm dying to find out who that actress from the '40s was! It's funny how that image thing works.

But you are entitled to find one person scary and another lovely. It's part of what makes the world go around.

What you wrote reminds me of something I thought at work one day. We were offering a DVD of the movie All the Right Moves. If you look at the box, Tom Cruise DOES NOT look like anything other than an awkward, clueless, listless boy. He has the dumbest expression on his face. It makes you wonder if the box design people weren't fans and wanted to present him in the worst possible light!

[peekaloo]

6. The Joan Crawford of the 21st century?

instead of huge eyebrows it's now lips.

[tjdee]

7. I don't think you can be "mean" if you're a UN Goodwill Ambassador.

I'm just sayin'.






I think her real life work makes her a lot prettier than some other actresses.

I don't think she looks "mean" at all, but I definitely understand the "I WILL get what I want" look. That's her unique selling point for her job. Some of the actresses do the cutesy thing, that's not her thing.
If people want cutesy, they can call Meg Ryan.

If you're saying that's the hot look now, the "I'll stab you with a stiletto" gaze, I can get with that. I think it's supposed to look sexy or in control....but you're right, sometimes it can just look mean and condescending.

[Burma Jones]

8. Big Eyes, Big Lips, Cute Nose, Sexy Voice

and a body that could make Michaelangelo's David pop a boner......

[Orrin_73]

49. Ahum, ehhh her lips and

boobs aint real.

[Burma Jones]

61. Neither's Michaelangelo's David, so what?

I know I'm not tapping her.....:nopity:

[amitten]

70. Boobs, probably fake. But the lips are real. I've seen some

childhood pictures of her, and she always had huge lips. They actually looked ugly on her as a kid, but I guess she grew into them.

[Bombtrack]

72. yes they clearly are

nothing about the shape or movement of her breasts are implant like, and she's had those lips since she was a baby.

[GOPisEvil]

9. While she's generally attractive, she doesn't light my pilot.

:shrug:

[jpgray]

10. Is superficial prejudice mean? Or just tacky?

:rofl:

Seriously though, I'd say thinking someone is "mean-looking" isn't really an insight into that person's personality any more than thinking someone is "ugly-looking."

[La Lioness Priyanka]

42. i agree with you

i know the nicest people who have the "Mean" look

and some super evil people who come with the angelical...i couldnt hurt a fly...look

[Misunderestimator]

11. This looks like a snake to you?

I guess I don't see it.

Some of the characters she has played have a different persona than herself, and I've seen many photos of those characters that could be described as sinister. The conclusion I draw is that she's a good actor and a wonderful person.

[Thtwudbeme]

12. Yes, she does. I wouldn't care if she were hugging the Dalai Lama,

holding a newborn kitten, and three war orphans.

Her eyes look cold and predatory to me.

[Misunderestimator]

13. Then it's all about looks. Ok...

:shrug:

[Thtwudbeme]

14. The look in her eyes.

Her "looks" alone are very pretty.

It's the cold look in her eyes.

[Misunderestimator]

15. So no matter what she does in her life, because she has what you

perceive to be a cold look in her eyes in photographs, that is all that matters?

[Thtwudbeme]

19. OK...so she is a Goodwill Ambassador, and goes around visiting

orphanages---adopts a couple of kids. Groovy. If I had that kind of money, I could do that too---it's probably not too hard to be a generous kazillionaire, you know?

Sorry, the multiple marriage thing, the affair with a married man, and the pregnancy before the partner was FULLY divorced is a turn off to me. My opinion on a celebrity is just that---an opinion on a celebrity. I think she looks cold and weird.

She uses her money and celebrity well to emphasize the plight of certain poor people in the world...no one could possibly argue that.

[Misunderestimator]

22. More than most people do... with or without that kind of money.

I'm not getting into this stupid flamewar again. Judge away. :hi:

[Thtwudbeme]

24. Thanks, I will. Celebrities open themselves up to this type

of chatter---it's part of being famous--

Hate it for them.

As far as "judging" is concerned---you betcha. Marriage wreckers get on my nerves.

[renie408]

34. I really HATE that line of "logic"

It is HER fault that Brad Pitt left his wife? Exactly what promises did Angelina Jolie make to Jennifer Aniston? And since you know them all so well and understand the details of what went on behind the scenes, could you explain what Aniston meant a couple of years ago when she was asked if Brad was the man for her forever when she responded, "Forever is a long time."


Nobody here knows what went on with those people and it some really BIZARRE shit to even pretend that you do. Or to want to. Or to think about it as much as WE ALL are.

[Thtwudbeme]

40. Can you show me one example of my writing where I claimed to

be omniscient? I wrote something to the effect of "I do not like Angelina Jolie." "Marriage wreckers" to me are people who have affairs while they are in a committed relationship. The person IN the relationship, and the person they are involved with.

[renie408]

43. How do you know they were involved in a relationship

before he ended his marriage? How do you know how long the Aniston/Pitt relationship had been, umm, un-committed?

[Thtwudbeme]

44. Oh come on.

The marriage was not legally over. And yes, it matters. If it doesn't to you; I really don't give a flying rat's ass---however, I do hope that you let your potential partners know how you feel about the institution before you get into a situation like that.

Stephanie

[renie408]

45. ROFL...Hey, You might want to warn my husband of 18 years

that I am a flight risk. We have only been together since high school.

Do you honestly think that is a good retort in an argument? Never, EVER, fall back on the I-have-a-self-righteous-stick-up-my-ass gambit. It just makes it obvious to everyone that you have run out of logical ammo.

And legal-schmegal. You....do....not....know....what....their....personal....situation...was. Articles in People magazine are not quite the same thing as being there.

Oh, and you might want to stop defending my husband. He thinks you are intimidated by somebody like Jolie.

edited for typos and four letter word removal

[Thtwudbeme]

48. OK...so first you think I claim to be omniscient

now..you are laughing because I didn't know your personal situation.

Then you claim to "know" that I am "intimidated" by a person I will likely never even meet---an image on a screen...or the thought of a "marriage wrecker."

also--where was I "defending" your husband?

Jesus Christ--whatever.

[renie408]

51. No no...my HUSBAND said you were intimidated

I said you had a stick up your ass and read way too much People magazine.

Try to keep up.

[Thtwudbeme]

58. I don't read People magazine

and if thinking having an affair before a marriage is officially over is wrong, then I guess I do have a stick up my ass.

I can't keep up with your rambling bizarre posts. I know I am not supposed to write this, but...I think our DU experience would be much better without each other.

Nice to have met you.

[RandomKoolzip]

16. Wow. It sucks that I look like a serial killer.

I guess that cancels out all the charity work I've done.

:eyes:

[Misunderestimator]

23. And it sucks that I look so sweet...

cancels out all those bodies I buried. :D

[Thtwudbeme]

26. it must be hell to own your own graveyard.

That's some real estate I never want-

[Misunderestimator]

29. Yeah. Definitely.

[RandomKoolzip]

30. Yeah!

How do you make a return on that kind of investment anyway, MisU? With real estate prices the way they are nowadays an' everything....

[Misunderestimator]

31. It's hard... it's really not zoned properly, you know.

I can't build a high rise on it... :cry:

[renie408]

36. And if you do, the poltergeists will just show up and

ruin the property values.

[Misunderestimator]

38. Dammit... I hadn't even considered that.

What the hell was I thinking? :cry:

[renie408]

39. Before you start burying the victims, you have to think ahead, man.

Cremation is the way to go.

[Misunderestimator]

41. That shall be my Second Quarter plan.

:thumbsup:

[BikeWriter]

54. If she approached me just right, I might drop Jennifer.

[Midlodemocrat]

17. I don't personally think she is drop dead gorgeous.

But, I do like the humanitarian side of her. I really like that she adopted those little kids.

But, her thing at the Oscar's with her brother and her relationship with Billy Bob did creep me out a bit.

It looks as though she is really happy with Brad and I am glad for her, but I think Jennifer Aniston is much, much better looking.

Just my $.02

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

18. She has a certain sexiness, in a plastic lethal fembot kinda way.

[kwassa]

21. I like her because she is an original and unique personality in Hollywood

which is all about clones, and trying to fit in, and be part of whatever the trend of the moment is. She is a distinct and original personalit who does what she wants how she wants.

She has a conscience, she is intelligent, she speaks out for what she believes in , which are some very good things.

And she is extremely beautiful, to me, also in a unique way, but then, true beauty is unique.

[progmom]

25. It's an interesting question.

For a long time I found her thoroughly unattractive. I would avoid any movie she was in. Then I read about the work she has done for refugee rights, something I am very interested in. That made me see her in a totally different light, I guess. I can see her beauty now.

So I guess I can see both sides of this one. :shrug:

[Sugar Smack]

27. I forget the movie's name, but it was Angelina Jolie playing

a blonde newscaster who's told she's only got two weeks to live. I have seen the "predatory" look on her face that you're talking about, but the work she's done outside Hollywood has melted my heart. And in that movie I just mentioned *AH, what WAS the NAME?* she was so vulnerable and sweet that I couldn't ever see her as "dangerous" again. Great movie!! :)

[tjdee]

32. Life or Something Like It....

I didn't like her as a blonde, and the movie got on my nerves for a few reasons... but it was indeed a good film for seeing another side of her. I kept waiting for the character to go nuts or get weird, but nope!

[Sugar Smack]

35. Yes, she was SO GOOD in that role!

Thank you for the name. I thought it was kind of a cool look for a temporary role.

:D

[renie408]

28. I think she is gorgeous.

Though sometimes her lips look weird to me.

But everybody has different tastes, I guess. You know, the funny thing is that I don't think she is mean looking.

[hippiechick]

33. ... she's pretty much a certifiable nutcase, isn't she ?

:shrug:

She'll crash 'n burn like the rest of the Hollywood wasteoids and we'll see her 'comeback story' on Entertainment Tonight in about 10 years ...

[LostinVA]

53. I don't think she's a nutcase at all

She used to be kinda flighty and nutso, but she was in her 20's. I honestly believe she has had a sea change in her life. She also matured. I'm glad as hell people don't judge ME on what I did between 20-28. OMG.

[Oeditpus Rex]

37. Personally, it's because she rather resembles

She Who Took My Virginity, who was also my first LTR.

When I saw her in "Gia," I was startled. They even walk alike.

[renie408]

47. Wow. You were lucky. There are a lot of guys here who are now

envying the shit out of you.

I love your screen name, BTW. Very clever.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

46. I think she's beautiful and I like some of her movies

I'm glad she does the humanitarian work she does and I don't watch enough TV or read enough celebrity gossip crap to know the particulars of her/Pitt/Anniston and really could give a flying fuck...I mean...imagine that...a Hollywood marriage breaking up...who knew?

I will say this though...I know a couple of Eddie Fisher's offspring worked closely with one of them for a decade on a charity event and his shenanigans and falling in and out of love every other week really fucked with his kids' heads for a long time...again...that's Hollywood.

[NaturalHigh]

50. She's not the hottest chick I've ever seen...

but she's in the top 20.

[LostinVA]

52. Okay, lesbian here

I think Angelina Jolie is sooooo hot.... plus, the whole goodwill stuff she does just melts me. I love her. I want her. BRAD PITT MUST GO!!! Seriously, I think she just oozes sex appeal. Just smokin'.

Just my two cents...

[HeeBGBz]

62. I thought she was hot in Girl, Interrupted

She hasn't struck me as all that appealing in other movies I've seen her in.

Hope that doesn't mean I'm attracted to sociopathic blondes.

[liontamer]

55. i won't question why you're afraid of strong women

but i think she often looks very vulnerable in roles. My favorite scene in gia is when she's begging linda to stay with her after their first night. She looks very weak there, did you find her attractive then?

[Thtwudbeme]

59. afraid of strong women?

I was a paramedic firefighter...and the FIRST woman on a rural fire department-

Yeah--umm---they terrify me. Don't question it. Just let me suffer my weird affliction for thinking Angelina Jolie sucks, OK?

Stephanie

[liontamer]

71. your gender has nothing to do with your reaction here

" she just looks like a snake about to strike to me."

" There was another actress from the forties that had that very same, "I WILL get exactly what I want" look on her face, "

"Mean looking women representing a mean society"

It sounds like you find powerful women frightening. I know it's just your opinion, but it's on your opinion I was commenting.

[alarcojon]

56. My two cents

[Beausoir]

63. You wanna see a mean looking woman?

Mrs. Donald Trump. She looks positively venomous 100% of the time.

Not my idea of beautiful.

[renie408]

64. She's married to Donald Trump. She has her reasons. n/t

[entanglement]

67. It's the eyes

n/t

[SKKY]

66. Two words to describe Angelina Jolie...

Spanky-toy!

[skygazer]

68. I think she's absolutely beautiful

With a warm, genuine smile and great eyes (with some laugh wrinkles - I like that). We are all entitled to our opinion, of course - mine is that she's one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood as well as intelligent, compassionate and committed to helping others.

What's not to like?

[gardenista]

69. I think she's great looking, and she has done many good works.

Judging her solely on the latter, I'd say she's beautiful inside and out.

In the first image, I think she looks noble and feirce, not mean.

[CatWoman]

74. doh!!!

we said almost the same thing :D

[gardenista]

79. We are obviously wise, secure women

who appreciate and encourage other women.

You go, girl!

:toast:

[CatWoman]

73. Let's look on the inside for a moment

She is absolutely magnificent. stunning.

I give props to any woman, especially one of her caliber, who adopts tossed aside children and give them another shake at life.


And I find her just as beautiful on the outside.

She has many exceptual, exotic features.

I can't understand why people keep ragging on her.

[CatWoman]

75. she should thank Hera that she doesn't look like this

Friends don't let friends do plastic surgery

[ronnykmarshall]

76. I'm gay .....

and I'd make out with her in a second.

[jobycom]

77. Seems like an awfully mean thing to say about a person

Mean posters representing a mean society--yuk.

I can understand not liking her looks or her respecting her talent--such things are subjective--but to judge her personality based on her looks just seems, well, mean.

[Bombtrack]

78. well your'e a chick right?

chicks think Sarah Jessica Parker is attractive.
