I'll cast a vote for Deneuve. Not for Halle, because although I can't find anything wrong with her at all, my eye doesn't really catch on her.
Now I have to go flip through my venus pictures.
Damn you, Hec.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
In your list I pick Gong Li. Hott.

Now tagless for your comfort.
In your list I pick Gong Li. Hott.
Me, too.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ahhh, some good ones I missed, ita.
Definitely on Iman, Grace, Isabella and Vivien.
And you know how much I love Eve Salvail!
I think also Joan Chen, Salma Hayek, Penelope Cruz.
As for Halle, I get what you mean. She's obviously beautiful but doesn't ping me. Not like say, Jada Pinkett or Debra Winger.
Eliza Dushku? Most beautiful Mutant Enemy Alumnus?
Gina and Morena are both very beautiful. So is Charisma. And I could more readily fall in love with AH or SMG. But I think Eliza.

I just don't believe in Gina Torres's face. It's a classic example of "Well, I wouldn't have put those bits together quite like that. But I'm damn glad someone else did." She's hands down the winner of that bunch for me.
Jada Pinkett hasn't pinged me in a good long time. She's all dry and hard now. I do wonder what she'd have looked like if she'd aged less athletically.
As for aging, I'm curious to see what time will do to Natalie Portman. I suspect she will wear the years very gracefully.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Natalie has exquisite bones.
I should've mentioned Isabella's mom, Ingrid Bergman.
Also Juliet Binoche.

That's true. You could nitpick the details but not the whole. Though I think with Gina a lot of it is the presence and personality coming through.
I mean, I don't think they ever would've cast a black woman in the role, but she's the only actress I've seen that could credibly be Wonder Woman.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

This is the only credible idea I've heard for WW so far.

Oh, I came into this thread because we just watched the trailer for Shoot 'Em Up. Advance word sounds INSANE. Bob has "priapism of the face" he's so excited.
