I was just watching TV and a preview for this movie called "The Invasion" really caught my attention. I really think many of you here might be interested in watching the trailer on this site: theinvasionmovie.warnerbros.com/Now, I know this is about aliens and such, but I think that the concept of replacement in and of itself is interesting and kind of being eased into the public eye by means of the supernatural and what is widely accepted as fiction. By introducing a concept that we here believe to be a reality in a way that many or maybe even most people think of as impossible or unbelievable, maybe it will soften the blow of this type of thing happening in reality? Just a thought. Regardless of any (quite possibly solely in my imagination!) underlying meanings of this movie, it's pretty interesting, no? Also, Daniel Craig is in it and he is a giant sex bomb. Just sayin'. |

Just sayin'. OK so you said and I quote, "sex bomb", so I just HADDA go look and you was right....... wow. Thank ya. Him fine. Excuse my directness on the matter. But I can't lie. I can't call him ugly. Sorry. |

Ahahaha, I know right?! The Speedo does wonders for him. ;D I always loved (and always will love!) Sean Connery as Bond more than any other, but Mr. Craig does the part justice, that's for sure! ;D

Yikes. No offense, but what do you girls see in that guy? I was horrified when I first heard that he was the new Bond. IMHO he lacks the suaveness, the handsomeness, the (and I say this in the straightest way possible), SEXINESS of the former Bonds (not to mention he looks nothing, absolutely nothing like Connery, Dalton, Lasenby, or Brosnan.). You could say they casted him because he looks most like Ian Fleming's (writer of the James Bond novels) version Bond; but that's not true. If you search James Bond on Wikipedia, you'll find the original design for Bond looked more like Connery or Moore (Moore, being, IMO, the perfect Bond). Sad-looking puppy dog eyes with pouty, boyish lips, matched with a bulbous nose = ........ a steaming hot beefcake sex machine?  Please girls, give me some female perspective! I just don't understand this. |

You know, I'm not sure myself! I have to admit that, until I did see him as the new Bond, I was really disappointed to hear that he was next in line. When I saw the movie, though, I was hooked. Kind of like my odd attraction to George Clooney, who is a pompous jerkbucket most of the time and is a mediocre actor; despite that, the character he becomes in so many movies engages me to the point where I can't really think of him as anything else but that character and so attraction occurs!
I'm 99.99324141911111103% sure that I am supposed to be much, much older. I NEVER am attracted to the guys my friends all think are gorgeous--the Adam Brodies, the Ashton Kutchers, the Justin Timberlakes... I don't know why. I am always a fan of the older men. Jon Stewart, Josh Homme, Dave Grohl... these attractions, though, very much depend on the fabulous personalities of these people. I am HUGELY about character when I decide if I'm attracted to a celebrity or not. Really, if I could get anyone in the world to spontaneously propose to me (other than one of my ex boyfriends who is shockingly enough only three years older than I am!), it'd be Craig Ferguson. The piercing blue eyes and the delicious accent (I have the most ridiculous accent fetish in the history of the world. really!) are all well and good, but the good naturednessage, the sense of humor, the interest in knowing everything and passion when something truly peaks interest is what makes him so amazing to me... I'm pretty sure he's perfect!
Wow, way for me to let everyone know everything about me ever. If I wrote a biography, it would officially be the least interesting book in the world.
Moore is my second favorite Bond for sure. He's not far off of Connery, but there's something about Connery that I love waaaaay too much. ;D

He's earthier and rougher looking than the previous Bonds, not a pretty boy, not a society man,
not a GQ model, and not a high toned effete British know it all.
Ha has kind of that "Steve McQueen" thing going on. Ja' know? Remember him?
Baby, baby, Steve McQueen had it goin' on!
Or, Stuart Whitman in Cimarron Strip.
Or Michael Parks in that motorcycle TV series he had.
Or Eric Roberts when he got older and grubbier.
Or Don Johnson on Miami Vice.
Or Bruce Springsteen after 1982.
Or......
Or.......OK, I'll stop.
Though I loved Connery and Moore as Bond, they did not have a certain magnetism that Craig radiates.
JMO.
Hey, I ain't lookin' for any dates or nothin' like that-----but I do enjoy seeing a good smoulder.
And, NO, James Dean did NOT do it for me..........

Right on, mommybird, right on!!!!!!
Oh, yea, baby! Let's have a Steve McQueen thread.
Sorry, but he just has that "this is what masculinity is" vibe folks, and it's worth revisiting.
TIme for a Steve McQueen film festival at my house.

I've never imagined doing the deed with Steve McQueen, and I won't start now, he's just looks too moody and masculine dare I say it, Maybe that is why I crush on Faul, seriously he gives off serial killer vibes or something. Why can't they find a James Bond that looks like Robert Palmer? Not that its anyone's business but I have Clive Owen on the ole turntable if you know what I mean, I find him sexy for some reason.

That dude doesn't do a thing for me. If anybody remembers Jr. Samples...he's my kinda guy.....  Not really....but let's come back down to earth, where the everyday guy is one where his gutt hangs OVER his belt, who has the nerve to wear a muscle shirt, where there ARE no muscles visible...and usually more hair on his back than the top of his head.... Now there's an invasion of body snatchers that we ARE NOT ready for.  Here's a list of other overweight dudes John Goodman Brian Denehey Sebastian Cabot (Mr. French of Family Affair) Orson Welles None of which the world would want to see in speedos.... |

Hahaha, but John Goodman seems like such a sweetheart! ;D
I'm a sucker for a fantastic sense of humor, shaggy hair, blue eyes, accents, and musical ability. I have yet to find any guy in real life who is able to fit himself into all of these categories. They only seem to exist in movies!

NO, oh, no, absolutely not. You see, the bigger they are, the harder they Faul. It should be law that after a certain weight, a man must begin wearing full body moo-moo's, kaftans, or tasteful togas or robes. I myself voluntarily do so whenever my weight temporarily climbs up over *coughcough* schpunge-hundred and drufty-leven. It's the least all of us with extra could do for our fellow thinites, and children, and those otherwise unprepared to handle the shock and burden of trying to cope with unsolicited viewings of exposed layers of billowing rolls of adipose-overwhelmed body areas. Like, "WARNING: This Hip Area Condemned for the Unsafe and Unappealing Accumulation of Dietary Blubber." or, "DANGER: Excessively Expanded Buttocks Approaching Rapidly Nearby on this stretch of Sidewalk; Pass with Caution." |

Unless you have Richard Simmons on speed dial, you should never wear a moo moo! I'd rather have some fat on the bones that just the bones. And I'm all for male pattern baldness Lithgow style. People should just be themselves and play up what they have, its all in how you carry yourself and who you are on the inside anyway. Hollywood gives us our sex symbols and we fall for it, if we only knew the truth of the plastic surgery, eating disorders & sexual orientations, we might demand more realistic icons, however there is something in our nature that compells us to buy into thier social conditioning, even when we know better.

DAMN IT! You're right. There's nothing that can be done about the true condition of one's appearance, anyway. Well, there are extreme means to alter it, but what are they worth? Weight loss is really a health issue in the main, NOT a beauty issue. And artificial beautification is only skin deep and temporary at best. The human body ages and begins to collapse (as I am witnessing in my home each week that passes) and whatever is done for cosmetic improvement is only a stop gap measure against time and the laws of aging. The laws of aging. Damn it! A set of laws that we truly can't violate. |

In everyday reality, in America, with our culture, our fast food and snack food world, and food oriented social life, most people are "gently rounded" rather than the waif look. In the land of Dairy Queen and supersized Blizzards...with double stuff oreos.....well, we have made the work of alien "pod people" a bit harder to develop pods to overtake the bodies of most Americans.... Invasion of Body snatchers will need extra work hauling over plus size people! We may thwart the operation, they will surrender through exhaustion...  |

one of the Tabloids last week had photoshopped pics of what Pamela Anderson, Maddona Travoltra, and Johnny Depp would look like if they ate the same food we do, and did not have the benefit of trainers, it was hilarious especially the chubby Pamela Anderson with bad skin.

Travolta has been chubby....and I don't mean the character in Hairspray...
I'm surprised they didn't show the results of living in the fast lane for the rehab club like Brittney, Lindsay and NIcole Ricce....
These are troubled people..

Maybe Brittney, Lindsay, Paris...etc...are already taken over by celebrity "pods"....Not replacements in the case of Bill, someone who has talent and uses his brain, but just bimbods (bimbo pods) exploiting themselves....

I love the invasion movies, but they always remake them and they never go into detail about who the pods are and what they want, and that is the fascinating stuff, a better movie is They Live because it actually gives you info as to the who what where when and why.

Well, we need to take any possible avenue for prevention of pods taking over.
Other possible ways to keep pods from overtaking one's body...
1. the use of garlic, limburger cheese, or other strong offensive odor make affect the nostrils of alien pods..that is..if they have nostrils...
2. wearing "I Love Slim Whitman" may cause the alien pods to be confused as to who "Slim Whitman" is...that is, if they even think...Do pods think? I don't believe they do. But if there is a creation of a hybrid pod that can think....or have sense....this may be effective
3. the playing of Polka Rap music could confuse the pods
4. not remaining still while a pod person approaches, movement may thwart their ability to overtake
5. last but certainly not least......pretend you have some peculiar twitch when a pod approaches..if they think you have some disease or disorder, they may not want to overtake a body with "problems".
Hey, anytime I can add some advice on how to avoid being overcome by a pod...I'm there....
And NO I'm NOT a pod person! Although I've been accused of it at times.....I must say that I'm not!
