jazzbo Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 Okay, I keep seeing this gal in an ad for University of Phoenix, and it makes me want to go to school. . . . She ought to be a movie star. I see people here and there and photos of people here and there and think "They ought to be in pictures!" Is it just me? Anyone else have any candidates? Quote
RDK Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 Looks kinda like Ashley Judd. Lot's of attractive people out there, but the question is can they act? Quote
Rosco Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 Looks kinda like Ashley Judd. Lot's of attractive people out there, but the question is can they act? ← Since when is this a prerequisite for a movie star? Quote
jazzbo Posted September 9, 2005 Author Report Posted September 9, 2005 (edited) Shoot, is that even important in the movies today? Can Keanu Reeves act? Jessica Alba? I think Roy Hargrove should be in the movies. He can be in the next movie where they have some cop who is so hip but he really isn't but he really is when he's underground and so. . .he turns bad to be hip, but he's really good at heart so. . . . Then the girl makes a mess of it all. Edited September 9, 2005 by jazzbo Quote
Free For All Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 She's very attractive Lon. Now I have Phoenix envy. Quote
Ron S Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 I vote for Jim Sangry. And don't ask me why. I just do. Quote
couw Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 Phoenix? I blame catesta! (still!) Quote
Noj Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 Wasn't she a Noxema girl? I think the University Of Phoenix is in California. Quote
RDK Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 Shoot, is that even important in the movies today? Can Keanu Reeves act? Jessica Alba? It's all a matter of degree. No, you don't have to be a great actor/actress to be a star, but you'd be giving awards to Keanu and Jessica if you saw enough films with people who really couldn't act. Quote
rostasi Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 I see people here and there and photos of people here and there and think "They ought to be in pictures!" ..bbbbut she is in pictures - well, one anyway... Quote
jazzbo Posted September 10, 2005 Author Report Posted September 10, 2005 Well you're right R. But part of the thing about the "____ ought to be in pictures" is that you just seem to think the person could do it. It's a little bit of fantasy. That's the sort of feeling/impression that I was going on when considering this thread. Quote
JSngry Posted September 10, 2005 Report Posted September 10, 2005 I vote for Jim Sangry. And don't ask me why. I just do. ← Actually, I have been in one. A very bad, very low-budget, mostly improvised indie video that some friends made for entry in a video festival. I had a small role as a beer-drinking, cigarette smoking, flannel shirt, gimme cap-wearing redneck named Tick. Much like Dexter Gordon in "Round Midnight", the question of how much of it was really acting came up more than once... Quote
7/4 Posted September 10, 2005 Report Posted September 10, 2005 ← I remember one short I saw. And many photo shoots that looked too fine. Quote
catesta Posted September 10, 2005 Report Posted September 10, 2005 Wasn't she a Noxema girl? I think the University Of Phoenix is in California. ← University of Phoenix is in California, among other places. According to the website, they have 170 campuses around the country. Quote
catesta Posted September 10, 2005 Report Posted September 10, 2005 Phoenix? I blame catesta! (still!) ← Crap, that damn place is going to haunt me for the rest of my life. Quote
tonym Posted September 10, 2005 Report Posted September 10, 2005 (edited) The checkout girl in Sainbury's last night should be in a movie...... she did get my business card too Edited September 10, 2005 by tonym Quote
jazzbo Posted September 10, 2005 Author Report Posted September 10, 2005 (edited) There's a dancer on the rather mediocre Fox show "So You Think You Can Dance" that ought to be in pictures. . . Kamilah Barrett. She's sensuous and sultry and sassy and ought to do well. I bet it happens. Edited September 13, 2005 by jazzbo Quote

Sounds like you're ready for a featured role in the inevitable remake of "Deliverance" (maybe dueling saxes this time?). Quote
JSngry Posted September 10, 2005 Report Posted September 10, 2005 Only if it's Rosie Perez who I get to make squeal like a pig... Quote
Ron S Posted September 10, 2005 Report Posted September 10, 2005 Looks like Woody Harrelson beat you to it: Quote
jazzbo Posted September 10, 2005 Author Report Posted September 10, 2005 In this world of cloak and illusion. . . it may be that Jim IS Woody and he wants to make her squeal AGAIN. We'll never know the truth. Quote
Ron S Posted September 10, 2005 Report Posted September 10, 2005 In this world of cloak and illusion. . . it may be that Jim IS Woody They DO both have Texas connections. Then again, so do YOU. And so do I. Damn, maybe Oliver Stone was on to something. Quote

That's the sort of feeling/impression that I was going on when considering this thread. ← Oh, I know, Lon. Didn't mean to sidetrack the thread. I think it's due to living/working in Hollywood that it seems like everyone out here wants/thinks they can be in pictures. Gets one a bit jaded if you know what I mean. Wonder what you think of Andie McDowell? - which again sidetracks since she's already in the movies. I know a lot of people who think she's a terrible actress - and certainly not classically trained - but I love her on screen. She has such a natural presence that to me is just like someone not acting. Almost the exact opposite to me of Meryl Streep, who I really disliked for the longest time because I always felt she was acting too much. Anyhow, here's someone I used to think had potential...

jazzbo Posted September 10, 2005 Author Report Posted September 10, 2005 (edited) I could watch, and LISTEN to, Andie all day long! That voice! She would make a great Scarlet Witch when they get around to that "Avengers without all the heavy superpowered heroes" movie Edited September 10, 2005 by jazzbo Quote
