What ever happened to her sister? She was even cuter.

Does anyone else have a really hard time remembering her face? I know I’ve seen her a couple of times, certainly often enough that I should be able to recognize her on sight, but I never do; whenever I see a picture of her, it feels like somebody I’ve never seen before. It’s genuinely puzzling to me, I don’t have that problem with anybody else (though there seems to be a pool of young blonde starlets I always confuse with each other, and I have a hard time with Keira Knightley/Natalie Portman, but all of those will at least feel familiar on sight). Does she change her looks often, perhaps?

I don’t have a problem recognizing her when I see her, but picturing her in my head is hard.

Incorrect.  
The correct question is who WILL Lindsay Lohan be after her upcoming movie with Danny Trejo and Robert DeNiro comes out.  
I’m not a fan, but she’s a looong way from midnight infomercials and weird porn.

I’ve loved Robert Rodriguez since El Mariachi, pero this movie disturbs me. How can a movie with Jessica Alba, Steven Seagal, Don Johnson or Lindsay Lohan be any good? Then again, how can a movie with the Avellan twins, Robert DeNiro, Cheech Marin, Danny Trejo and Michelle Rodriguez be bad?

How can a movie with Jessica Alba not be worth at least a look?

Hopefully she’ll have a gun in place of her severed arm and have at least one scene where she makes out with Michelle Rodriguez. And in the background the Avellan twins are watching _Grindhouse_.

And fighting over a man who’s too old for them.

Looks like a spin-off of Planet Terror, as Rose McGowan is listed as Cherry Darling. Jeff Fahey and Tom Savini reprise their roles from Planet Terror too.

Man, I can’t wait to see this!

Seriously. She’s aged 20 years in the last five. She’s what, 24? She looks forty.

I’m dying to know – where’s the typo?

I figured it was supposed to be “get real”, because “get reality” is a rather odd way of phrasing it.

Oh. Since the ad was about milk, I assumed it was a play on “Get milk,” as in “Take a look at reality, it’s not all about you.” That’s why I asked.

My prediction, Lindsey will soon find Jeebus. Or else OD.

I know, but I like odd phrasing. Do you not?
