She's just a nice young healthy woman!

We've been pressured into pretending everyone is beautiful, except for those who actually are
Are Sydney Sweeney’s breasts double-D harbingers of the death of woke?
This is what the public is asking, at least those on social media, after the Euphoria actress garnered a particularly large audience as host of Saturday Night Live (SNL) last week. Sweeney is obviously a conventionally attractive young woman; and if you don’t personally admire her beauty, we can certainly all agree that she’s got a voluminous appeal. Sweeney knows this and runs with it, playfully owning her sex appeal with zero apologies. On SNL, she bulged from her tops, self-deprecatingly suggested that her breasts are her backup career, and — now virally — donned a Hooters uniform for a rather unsophisticated sketch dedicated to her overflowing cups.
Exactly how this led to a cultural cataclysm over beauty and wokeness can be summarized as follows: We’ve spent years being chastised for desiring or admiring beauty — because beauty is rare and exclusionary, and to exclude is to hate — or so we’ve been scolded to accept by today’s diversity, equity, and inclusion fanatics. We aren’t supposed to admire Sweeney’s beauty; but we’ve done it anyways. The times, they are a-changin’. Aren’t they?
Recall the words of unrepentant thought criminal Jordan Peterson on the plus-sized model that graced the cover of Sports Illustrated two years back: “Sorry. Not beautiful. And no amount of authoritarian tolerance is going to change that.” To this day the man is partly facing censure from his professional regulator over these words. We’ve all been pressured into pretending that we are bad people if we aren’t attracted to every influencer-wannabe who is unattractive by any reasonable standard of beauty.

You gave me a picture of her once. I didn’t know why at the time. It was very old - torn, faded. She was young like she is now. She seemed just a little sad. I used to always wonder what she was thinking at that moment. I memorized every line, every curve... I came across time for her, Sydney. I love her. I always have.”
No, you had it right the first time. I was the one who had it wrong and the autocorrect on my phone was apparently on break.

I would kill twelve men just to kiss the lug nuts of the right front tire that took her laundry to the cleaners.
Oh YEAH!
He’s dealing with an uprising of lowlifes in his Kingdom of Dirtbaggery ...

She likes to show off her naked breasts. In the future I do not want to hear her complain about sexual harassment.
You say that like it's a BAD thing...
Before all this hub bub, I watched a few shows in which Sweeney appeared. She was a stand out for her acting.
Ok, I'm curious. What movies have you liked her in? For her acting? Or were you being sarcastic?
I thought she was very good in season 1 of The White Lotus (and she kept her clothes on in that). She's also taken a couple of roles lately (Madam Web and Trinity, in which the producers have deliberately avoided the boob fetish stuff (or so I gather; I've not watched either of them). That's to her credit; it suggests to me that she's trying to break out of the rut that she's in. But at this point, she'll have to keep her clothes on consistently for at least five years to rebrand herself.
I just checked her filmography and I see that she played one of the Manson girls in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I don't recall her specifically, and that's probably a good thing; she was one of Manson's pack and if I don't remember her individually, so I'm guessing that she blended in perfectly, which is what a good actor in a minor supporting role should do. Glancing at the cast list, I see a lot of names that have gotten me interested in rewatching it. Quentin Tarantino pulled together a pretty impressive group of actors for cameos.
Interesting. I heard that she said she would never do that. That’s a shame.
Not being sarcastic. I saw her in White Lotus and Reality. As I said I was impressed with her expressive face. No boobs were involved. She seems to be well grounded from a good family. Hope Hollywood doesn’t ruin her like Jennifer Lawrence.
“I’d take Kelly 100 out of 100 times.”
David Niven wrote that the Prince of Monaco once asked him which actress was the best in his bed. He almost blurted out “Grace Kelly” - got the “Grace” out and then changed the last name just in time.
Grace Kelly’s looks never did much for me. She just...looked cold. But I guess she wasn’t!
I thought she was very good in TWL. I’ve not seen Reality. I almost never go into movies blind and was going to read some reviews first. This saves a lot of time, and it means that I like most of the movies that I see, as I’ve already weeded out most of the trash. There is a lot of trash, so some due diligence is a good thing.
What is your take on Reality’s handing of the political and national security issues involved? Is it propaganda, or is it fair? A movie doesn’t have to come down on my side of an issue to make my cut, but it does at least need to be fair to all sides of complicated questions.
P.S. In #88, I said Trinity, but I meant Reality. I don’t know where Trinity came from. Both end in a y, but that’s not a very good excuse.
I watched Reality because I was aware of the story and because Sweeney was playing the role. I had just watched White Lotus and she caught my attention. 99% of what I watch is on streaming. However, I was lured to see Napoleon and Dune II (at IMAX) and both movies sucked.
Reality is really interesting because the entire deep state committed enormous crimes against Trump and got off scot-free. Reality got swept up in the Russia hysteria, leaked secret documents and got crushed. I think Reality is a good example of the two tiered justice system. Probably the AR-15 she owned did her in.
No it isn’t.
No, you didn’t.
She's just a nice young healthy woman!
She was a stunner. My pick is Hedy Lamarr. Besides beauty, there was a powerful brain behind her. Brilliant mathematician and credited for inventing an early form of spread-spectrum communications.
I thought he passed away?
