Willow ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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.
And no matter what, you can see yourself as that forever, despite the changes you(or nature) have given your appearance.
As Stephen King pointed out very effectively in Christine.
She looked quite different when she was young (and suffered some really egregious hairdos later in life).
Plus, she and the gorgeous Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., were one of the first celebrity supercouples. (Maybe even the second, after Douglas, Sr., and Mary Pickford.)
My point, however, I think is better served by an instance in which the filmmakers really cared -- or is the tale that Lohan's breasts were reduced in every frame of Herbie an urban legend?
Oh, I've been operating on the assumption that it's legend.
September is Michael Powell month on TCM.

They better show A Matter of Life and Death. It's the only P&P I'm dying to own that's not out on region 1 DVD yet. I shall record it in Best Quality and never delete it from my TiVo. Yessss, Precioussss!
(Actually, it's been, like 4-5 years since I last watched that movie and I'm a little afraid that I might not love it as much on re-watch.)
I have seen arguments both ways, and have no interest in watching the movie and honing an opinion. Anyway, between costuming and CGI, the technology exists, even if the desire doesn't.
I don't see the point, myself.
Also, when my friend worked backstage at a celebrity fashion show for Newman's charity, Damon not only had absolutely no temperament, butwhen he heard as he was leaving that they were selling all the clothes worn that day on ebay, asked "would this help?" and peeled off his own cashmere sweater and donated it. He went home in a t-shirt on a crisp November day.
She looked quite different when she was young (and suffered some really egregious hairdos later in life).
Charles Busch commented on the fascinating grotesquery of her later looks. She became sort of a gargoyle Crawford. And she was a gorgeous woman.

::savors this image of Vonnie:
I adore Matt Damon. I'd like to see him in an Empire dress.
I'd like to see him in an Empire dress.
He doesn't have the breasts for it.
I spy with my little eye, a flapping Vonnie taking flight...
