> [@Sr\_Siete](#): > > I don’t know what I find more disturbing here, the OP focusing on females who I don’t know have ever done anything annoying, or the absolute lack of Jaden. I would never call Scout Willis “ugly” (that is just insane after looking at those linked pictures), but she seems to have dedicated her entire Twitter account to shaming Instagram into allowing naked nipples on their site. And that is just bizarre. ---

And that is just bizarre. I knew Bruce Willis had children, but this thread is the first time I’ve seen a picture of one. She’s got Bruce’s smirk. And I can’t imagine having sex with her, because it would feel too much like I was doing Bruce in a wig. ---

And that is just bizarre. Yes, that’s what it is: bizarre. Very, very bizarre. And hot. 😉 Many people need a cause to fight for. Prince Charles has old buildings; Princess Di had land mines. Would you rather Scout Willis chose White Supremacy? ---

It’s just so specific. “Instagram has a policy against topless women, so I will devote my entire Twitter account into shaming them over it.” Bwuh? ---

I remember feeling very old (I’m roughly Tom’s age) when I first noticed Colin Hanks in Dexter was Tom’s son, for some reason I mentally wasn’t accepting the fact I could easily have 30-something children. Anyway, Colin is absolutely not a terrible actor. He’s never going to win an Oscar or be his father’s peer, and he would be ill suited to being a leading man in a major film. But I think he does a good job, and could/will have a nice career as a character actor (really he’s already well on his way.) ---

When it works, or bores her, she can devote her Twitter account to something else. It’s a Twitter account and has a limited shelf life anyway. It’s not like she took Holy Orders. ---

And that is just bizarre. Huh. This thread is literally the first time I’ve read a reference to any of the Willis kids (at least once they were past the age of 12 or so) without the referencer noting that they’re homely. And all three of the girls are unfortunate looking. [From the nose up they look like Demi, but they’ve got Bruce’s chin](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.parentdish.co.uk/media/2012/07/demi-moore-daughters-split2.jpg).

But I think he does a good job, and could/will have a nice career as a character actor (really he’s already well on his way.) Agreed. He was great in [The Great Buck Howard](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460810/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_25) (2008). Also thought his character was good during his brief stint on _Mad Men_. ---

[Eugene Scalia](http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/07/eugene-scalia-court-antonin-financial-reform-dodd-frank). While I will concede that he is not necessarily ugly or untalented, I certainly find him annoying. ---

> [@kstarnes](#): > > I like Colin Hanks, actually. He wasn’t so great on Dexter but he found the right note on Fargo. Yep, he was great there, but he’s just not in his Dad’s league. Frank Sinatra jr. Perfectly adequate as opposed to the greatness that was his Dad. ---

Weird how two good-looking parents can produce funny-looking kids. Unfortunately I know something about this. My parents were both good-looking in their own way, but they didn’t look like each other (different ethnic types). My brother and I both look like both parents but not in a way that makes either one of us conventionally attractive. ☹ ---

For all the lack of respect he gets around here, Colin Hanks ought to start a club with Mamie Gummer (actress daughter of Meryl Streep). Sort of a support group for acting children of multiple Oscar winners. ---

Did anybody mention [Jaden Smith](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaden_Smith) yet? He is certainly untalented and annoying. While he’s not butt-ugly, he has nothing like his father’s charisma. I recall a review of “the Day the Earth Stood Still” remake that said the most shocking part of the whole movie was the realization that there is actually someone who is more wooden and less convincing an actor than Keanu Reeves. ---

There’s always a young rookie looking to knock a veteran out of the line-up. ---
