I understand, abstractly, that Mel Gibson qualifies as good-looking for a lot of people, he but he does nothing for me. While we’re on it, has anybody ever, anywhere, thought that Sean Penn was attractive? Lately I’m actually avoiding movies I’d otherwise want to see because I haven’t recovered from seeing him naked in \*21 Grams \* yet. ---

Nicole Kidman. Giant “this space for rent” forehead, downward pointing eyebrows, Doonesbury eyes, and man-jaw. Oh yeah, sign me up. ---

> [@Duke of Rat](#): > > Sarah Jessica Parker, another one of the equine-faced camp. What I find ironic, is that she looks her absolute best in **Hocus Pocus** - aren’t witches supposed to be unattractive? 😛 She’s still better looking than Ulma, though. I pay more attention to the guys, though: Ewan McGregor & Tobey Maguire- I just do not get it. Palid greasy-looking skin and weird looking eyes, both. Benicio Del Toro - I almost swallowed my tongue when I saw him named by people magazine as one of the year’s 50 most beautiful people. The guy looks like he went 12 rounds in the ring, lost, then was dragged by a truck. Hugh Grant - painfully average. Him being a billed as a handsome man makes as much sense as it would me as a pin-up girl. ---

> [@SlyFrog](#): > > … Kirsten Dunst is completely unappealing to me. That grotesque, “I can’t force my face into a full smile, so I’ll walk around with a ‘minorly bemused’ look all the fucking time,” smile she has. The somewhat flabby, mottled skin. **The set of pointy little grey chicklets she has that pass for teeth** … Obviously you find her hideous. Perhaps. Thanks for the guffaw anyway. ---

I agree with the negative comments on Cameron Diaz, Uma Thurman, and Kirsten Dunst. I have to add Mena Suvari, she is just weird looking. It’s like she has nice features but they just aren’t arranged correctly on her face. Also Selma Blair, just totally unappealing. ---

She could eat an apple through a letterbox: She has crooked teeth. She could smoke in the shower: She has a big nose. She’s like a pull-through for a rilfe: She’s skinny. Sorry, deliberatley vague insults are my speciality. And I had forgotten about Sarah Jessica Parker! She’s like something a crow shit in a famine. She’s got legs like straw hanging out of a loft. She’s got a head like the heel of a hoor’s boot. I coud go on. But you get the idea. ---

There’s a conversation from the TV show _NewsRadio_ that seems fitting: Beth: [Y]ou? Cute? Come on. Lisa: I am not entirely uncute. I… I… Why are you being nasty about this? Beth: I’m not being nasty. You’re pretty. You’re very pretty, in fact. But cute, I don’t think so. Lisa: Well, I wasn’t aware there was a difference. Beth: Well, of _course_ there’s a difference. Pretty means pretty. Cute means pretty but short and/or hyperactive-- like me! Lisa: Uh-huh. What is beautiful? Beth: Beautiful means pretty and tall. Lisa: Gorgeous? Beth: Pretty with great hair. Lisa: Striking? Beth: Pretty with a big nose. Lisa: OK, you’re making this up. Beth: That’s ridiculous, why would I make it up? Lisa: Sexy? Beth: Pretty and easy. Lisa: Exotic? Beth: Ugly. ---

> [@Hampshire](#): > > I find Angelina Jolie and Pamela Anderson to be two of the ugliest ones out there. Exactly the two I came in here to name. Pam was actually kind of cute when she first started out, but then she went all freaky plastic surgery and did that “I’m always surprised” thing with her eyebrows (why do so many women do that?) and is a parody of an attractive woman now. And someone buy Ms. Jolie some chapstick, please. Though I did see her on Inside the Actor’s Studio with her hair longer and let down, with normal human make-up on, dressed comfortably, and she was actually fairly attractive. But most of the time: blech! My addition is Cindy Margolis. At one time the most downloaded woman on the internet. Could never figure out why. She’s just another average looking girl with a nice body (and those stupid “surprised” eyebrows) who somehow manages to be considered gorgeous. I suppose part of why so many enjoy her pictures is because they don’t have to hear her speak. Talk about dumb as a bag of wet hammers… ---

This is a tough question. I like to judge movie stars by how would they look in the morning? I think angelina Jolie would look nice without makeup. Another is Sandra bullock. I have no idea why! One more. meg ryan, before your horrible face lift/nosejob/ talk about ruining a man’s fantasies. ---

Leonard DeCaprio or whatever his name was in _Titanic_. A friend of mine bought it as soon as it was released and insisted I watch it. He looked about 12 years old to me, and child molestation has never been a fantasy of mine. ---
