Alternate title: "I'll Give You Something To Chew On"
I have nothing but good will towards Drew Barrymore. She seems to have survived and overcome a nightmare of a childhood; she has sweet bubblegum feminist instincts; she is dating Franco Moretti's rockstar son. All this is very cool.
However, her movies all annoy me profoundly. So I don't see them! The love is restored!
I remember enjoying "E.T."... Don't think I have, properly speaking, watched any of her movies since then. So I'm not really qualified to voice an opinion.
Wrong! I watched "Everybody Says I Love You" and disliked it. Don't really remember it beyond the disliking though.
I liked E.T. too. From pictures I've seen, she looks mostly the same now, but taller.
I totally get this irritation. Her persona seems to be based around the notion that you should never seem too smart or not slightly flighty, or the boys won't like you. It's irritating. I find her most fun when she's just normal, with a normal set of neuroses. I have hopes for the Hugh Grant-Barrymore movie.
I kind of dislike Drew Barrymore, to be honest. I don't know why. Sort of the same way that Natalie Portman's character in Garden State irritated me. In an "I can't get over how weird I am!" kind of way.
Which seems to be the exact opposite of SCMT's sentiment.
No, I think they're pretty similar sentiments. I never saw Garden State, though.
she looks mostly the same now, but taller.
At least two other major differences, even after the reduction surgery.
I posted that comment without any conscious play on the title of this post. Honest.
Five years ago, Drew Barrymore was totally cute. Now, she's weird. I'm guessing that about 25-30 years in Hollywood is the longest anyone can go without becoming a total nutcase; she just started earlier. (Paul Newman seems to have stayed sane, but I can't think of anyone else.)
Drew Barrymore was totally cute. Now, she's weird.
I wasn't aware that was an either/or decision.
Did she have surgery? I assumed it was a weight fluctuation thing.
15: Two things:
(1) The existence of that list, and the acquisition of the knowledge needed to create it, is just wrong.
(2) The list is inaccurate. Neither Heaton nor Moore should be on the list, as both famously got implants.
Drew got her golden globe reduction at age 16, it seems. Not going to affect the change from last year to this year.
(A little embarrassed to be scrutinizing such things.)
Irrelevant, but just wanted to chime in to say I hate Kirsten Dunst.
I see that's what 10 was originally saying. Sheesh.
I don't mind Kirsten Dunst, except I'm kind of weirded out by how twiggy she is sometimes.
Kirsten Dunst is awesome. Also, her tiny baby teeth are cute, as is the fact that she appears to have about a hundred of them.
Kirsten Dunst is the hottest of all the young female stars in Hollywood. Probably because she looks a little bit psycho.
To bring the two threads of conversation back together, Kirsten Dunst needs to wear a damn bra already, or her boobs will be hitting her knees by the time she's 30.
Who cares about a bra. Fly my pretties, be free!
Zoe Deschanel is the most adorable of the starlets. Duh.
24 -- Similarly Ben w-lfs-n is the most adorable of the hipsters.
People, people, people. Kate Beckinsale.
Similar in that she's an almost-but-not-quite starlet?
People, people, people. Kate Beckinsale
Is that some esoteric version of "Duck, Duck, Goose"?
Kate Beckinsale is really beautiful, and she has lovely dark hair. Pretty much everyone who knows me thinks that I'm basically her character in Cold Comfort Farm. I don't look like her though--except that we have similar noses.
Similar in that she's an almost-but-not-quite starlet?
I dunno, I was just playing word games. "The most adorable of the hipsters" has a really nice mouthfeel. I have no idea who any of you are talking about -- Drew Barrymore, Zoe Deschanel, Kate Beckinsale, just names.
30 - I was just playing word games too. Because of the whole w-lfs-n's not quite a hipster vote thing.
And I second that 28 is awesome.
(I don't really watch a lot of movies, and when I do, it is unusual for me to remember the names of the actors in them.)
I don't look like her though
Don't ruin my fantasy, BG.
Don't ruin my fantasy, BG.
I was actually thinking that we should post some pictures from the next Boston meet-up (whenever that happens) to the unfogged flickr group. That would ruin any fantasy.
29 - Is one of your friends reputed to have the largest and finest collection of brassieres in the world?
Drew Barrymore, Zoe Deschanel, Kate Beckinsale, just names.
BTW, is there a syllable-count rule for the naming of starlets?
The Naming of Starlets? A difficult matter,
Those other bright things all sound the same!
Your career will languish as though you were fatter
Lest you heed my advice: CHOOSE QUITE STUPID NAMES.
People, people, people. Kate Beckinsale.
I said young star, Apo. Beckinsale is 33.
23: You won't feel that way when she has sad little pancakes.
Agreed on the adorableness of Zooey Deschanel. But Kate Beckinsale started the long, slow descent into scary plastic surgery victim around the time she married that producer.
44: The beauty of Hollywood is that I can just trade her in for Dakota Fanning at that point.
42: She's two and a half weeks younger than me. She's not young.
Beckinsale denies having implants.
I have interacted with DB somewhat substantially. She is shorter and smaller than you'd imagine, since she's often photographed from a low angle to make her look (weirdly) like a normal/biggish person for those silly movies like Never Been Kissed in which she inexplicably is represented as awkward/ugly. She is sticky-sweet, but kinda out of it in a pot-hangover sort of way. She is also incredibly suggestible and will go along with almost anything you say.
Can you get her to sleep with w-lfs-n? That's one I wouldn't try to cockblock.
Wait a minute. The Awful Plastic Surgery people's evidence that she had implants is that she has stretch marks on her lolos? I thought the advantage of implants over natural boobs was the lack of stretch marks.
she has stretch marks on her lolos
Datapoint: She's had a kid.
53: C'mon, Tim, be a sport. Everybody knows that when w-lfs-n ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
