What about Ashley Judd as WW? She's not my fave actress, but she's bulked up for films, and done some action, and I would vastly prefer her to Biel or Alba.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I saw Ring 2 this afternoon. Save your money folks, there's like one scary moment in the entire film.
Though it did get me out to see the previews, including Monster-in-Law which I'm eagerly anticipating. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall of the set where Jennifer Lopez and Michael Vartan could be comparing notes about their exes...
ETA: I should be careful when griping about lack of scares—I just unexpectedly ran across the climactic stained glass skylight scene of Suspiria while channel surfing. Argento was so over-the-top they must have needed rockets to get the actors to set.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What did Judd bulk up for?
As far as I can tell, Monster In Law is about a snotty WASPish woman being horrified that her son has brought home a Latina fiancée. A comedy about that, I mean.
The thought makes me cringe, despite ample opportunities, I'm sure, for Vartan to be affable.

I don't so much see it as being a Latina issue... I imagine if Vartan's character brought home the Virgin Mary as his fiance Fonda's would fault her for being holier-than-thou.

Well, I saw the trailer after the one for Guess Who, so I was kinda skewed that way. I have no urge to see it cold and find another interpretation.

I just watched about half an hour (all I could stand) of that, myself. Yikes.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Were you watching the Bravo 100 scares thing? Even though I don't like scares and avoid horror movies--they just make me uncomfortable, rather than exhilarated-- I really found myself watching the whole four hours of the thing with my hands over my eyes at certain scenes.
It's a very good special, though-- they bought rights to all the scenes, and didn't skimp on the gore. Plus they had practically everyone-- even Dario Argento-- commenting on the thing.

Did that feature Audition? I think it's what made me go out and rent it.
Well, stay in and Netflix it.

No, they were playing Suspiria on IFC earlier today. Though I have seen the 100 scariest moments special, and really liked it. (It was my first exposure to The Audition too, though I've not yet worked up the nerve to rent the latter...)
