Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And somehow, all these new "tween" stars -- now like 17 or something -- have all been girls.

Because no one but me cares when Frankie Muniz turns legal. There's nowhere near the same sexpot market for boys. Who'll have a more decent career in 10 years, Frankie or Hilary Duff? Hard to tell.

I also think that the chicks will "lose" their looks later on -- there's maybe a late-20s gauntlet they need to pass. The boys -- suddenly you look over and Leonardo is not the beauty he was in R+J and he needs to re-solidify himself.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Saw the trailer for The Aviator when we saw Spidey.

I'm thinking that might do it.

Yum.

Mike Meyers was a child star.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Probably hopelessly late, but it took a while to put this together:

Born in 1962 (i.e., same year as me), with substantial IMDB credits both before and after 1982 (i.e., the 20YO mark):

Jennifer Jason Leigh (probably pushing it -- though she appears to have worked fairly steadily since 1978, 1982's Fast Times at Ridgemont High was probably the role that made her a star)
Adam Baldwin (second lead in 1980's My Bodyguard
Tom Cruise (2 movies in 1981, including a 5th listed credit)
Kristy MacNichol
Wendy Jo Sperber
Melissa Sue Anderson
Jodie Foster

Of names I recognized....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My guess is that girls are forced ripe -- so Leonardo was looking boyish at an age where the chicks were what women in their 40s are supposed to look like.

If Hillary Duff looks like that for the rest of her career, she's golden. She's gone through all the changes she's allowed to.

Eerily Frankie Muniz doesn't look like he's going to change either. But it might be nice if he does.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Don't call it a comeback. He been here for years.

If you think you can outrhyme me, yeah boy I bet

Ann, that's a ferret.

And after seeing the xposts --

OK, I'll withdraw everyone except MacNichol and Foster. And maybe Sperber, who isn't as big a name.
