What if you had to choose between Angelina Jolie and Kirsten Dunst? (Paging Buridan’s Ass!) ---

> [@Evil Captor](#): > > Then go for the movie itself. It absolutely kicks ass. I watched it, and Jolie was great, but the movie was the best thing since Star Wars. I’m not particularly fond of Star Wars so comparing the two movies does nothing to quell my apathy. It looks like it’s a nice enough movie visually and I might see it at the second run theatre a few months down the road if I’ve nothing better to do but it’s not anything I want to spend $10 on. ---

Jolie’s lips are real, and she got them from her [father](http://www.forsyth.friko.pl/aktaodessy.jpg), not her [mother](http://www.beatboxbetty.com/photogallery/photogallery/images/Marcheline-Bertrand.jpg). ---

> [@FyreFiend](#): > > For me it’s her lips. She could be in a full body cast reading the phonebook and she’d still have my undivided attention. Honestly, it’s not even that. I kept wondering why the girl fish from the “Shark Tale” ads kept captivating me, then I found out she is voiced by none other than this thread’s raisin debtor. Ms. Jolie is without question this decade’s purest definition of sex appeal. Her voice, her eyes, her lips, her figure (celebrate the fact that she’s actually got CURVES!)… And also her attitude. Since I first became entranced by her in Hackers, she’s been the standard for sexiness. And I won’t go so far as to say I _dislike_ her nude scenes, but it does seem, to me at least, that she is more appealing clothed than not. C’mon, look at the scenes from “Sky Captain” - who else could make an eyepatch and jodhpurs that hot? ---

Yeah, I saw _Hackers_ years after the fact. She’s amazing in that. Exactly the kind of girl that struck awe in me as a teen. So good in _Girl, Interrupted_, too. And _Tomb Raider_ is just a trip. But it’s _her_, not just her roles. She’s amazing. I got even more infatuated with her after she became known as a world affairs activist, especially that she chose to make ties with Cambodia. ---
