maramite is one of the health foods the British developed because of their far flung empire, and lack of refrigeration.

You remember how the British were called Limeys, because they carried limes on their ships to prevent scurvey. Back in those days when Scurvey, rickets, beri beri were real scourages and problems before the discovery of vitamins, it was found that certain foods maintained health, and didn't need refrigeration. American ships carried apples and potatoes to give the sailors vitamin C. Lack of Vitamin B is another problem, and that's where Maramite and things like Cod Liver Oil come in. The Brits developed a lot of foods/supplaments which didn't require refrigeration. Grog and Beer were two they did pretty well with. And then one of my favorites was Canned Cheese. Not as good as good fresh Wisconsin cheese, but good and an interesting flavor which you aquire a taste for.

Canned and cured hams and dried fish are also good. Sour cream and butter were probably the first developed.

It is amazing, really, when you go think back and wonder how our ancestors survived without refrigeration and vitamins - and thanks to them, how little a refrigerator is actually needed.

washed in botox and male baby foreskins

LOL, Cyborg, I am surprised at you.

[Mark17]

Wasn't she in one of first season episodes of the original Star Trek? It was the one where Spock and Kirk went back in time to a Saturn launch. I think James Coburn (Cross of Iron) was in that same episode.

If I remember right, it was Robert Lansing, and she was really hot in that episode.

There's always Divine Secrets of the First Wives Ya-Ya Calendar Girls Club -- type movies.

75-"who wants to go watch a womwn over forty?"



I'll watch Cher, any day:

First became famous as part of the 1960s singing duo, Sonny and Cher. Star of television, music, and films, Cher won a US ...

I don't need botox.

I don't need foreskins from a baby.

heeheehee

Interesting.

166 - "Here's another reason - movies are made for teenagers, not adults."

Yeah, who wants to go to a movie about your Mom? Now, that sexy teacher a few years older, and just out of college, that's a whole nother thing.

[RWG]

They didn't complain when they once got roles only because they were young babes...pretty much right.

And in that vein the witch is mad when the guy treats her like she treats him: "The man walks in and looks right at my tits and I saw in his face that there was no way I was going to get the part. And yet in the real world there is no way I would give this guy the time of day."

[Melas]

You know, your first clue that it was a bullshit should have been that it was French. "The French say" should have tripped an alarm somehwere.

I've been married a woman 4 years my senior for 13 years now, and I couldn't be happier.

[SauronOfMordor]

I'll pay eight bucks to see Penelope Cruz or Kate Hudson in a movie. I won't pay eight bucks to see Sharon Stone or Whoopi Goldberg in a movie.

The problem is with actresses that never learned how to act (as distinct from how to shake their booty)

There are a few who kept their careers past 40 (Katherine Hepburn being the biggest example), but for the most part their looks are all they have going for them

Consider that most of the time, the woman of the couple decides what movie to go to. Women really aren't going for aged actresses either

[WFTR]

Yes, that's one way. The other is for the audience to be thinking ABOVE the waist. Obviously, that concept is lost on you.

I understand the concept completely. I'm just realistic about the habits of many moviegoers and how the industry will try to appeal to them. If someone has a plan to draw audiences with movies that don't feature attractive young women, that person is free to make those movies and enjoy the prosperity of success that comes with making a popular movie. However, people who try to dictate to the market what the market should want are people who rarely succeed.

My complaint with these women is that they were perfectly happy to become rich in their twenties and thirties because they could supply what the market demanded but now insist that the market must change to meet their desires now that they no longer can supply what the market demands. They "lived by the sword" in sense that they profitted a great deal from their appearances. Now, they are "dying by the sword" in that their appearances no longer win them the same roles. Their complaining just makes them appear conceited and immature. The world fell at their feet for a decade or so because they were attractive. Now they can't deal with the fact that things have changed and others are enjoying the kind of success that they once had. They need to grow up and realize that some kinds of success just don't last.

You seem to be trying very hard to miss this point. You accuse me of not thinking above the waist, but I have to wonder whether you are in the position of these actresses but on a smaller scale. In everyday life, it's amazing how many women who were perfectly happy to be the center of attention in their twenties and thirties because they were attractive are suddenly whining and bitter in their forties because they can't hold a man's attention as they once did.

I gotta agree with the complainants on one point. I am absolutely nauseated when I see over-the-hill actors like Jack Nicholson and Harrison Ford paired with 25-year-old actresses. "Reality check on aisle four!"

In real life, aging celebrity entertainers DO get all the young chicks they want. Paul McCartney(60) and wife Heather Mills (35). Woody Allen and his stepdaughter-wife. Anthony Quinn fathering a child by his 30-something mistress in his 80's. The list goes on

And let's not forget Clinton and Monica

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The problem is with actresses that never learned how to act (as distinct from how to shake their booty)

Actually, the really successful actors become movie producers (Arnold, Stallone, Mel) and star in the movies they produce.

A producer is the guy who does the business end of a movie... purchasing a story, securing financing and hiring a director.

Women actors, for the most part, think somebody else is supposed to handle all the business stuff and just give them plum parts.

[69ConvertibleFirebird]

...have united to condemn "sexist" film moguls for failing to find roles for women over 40.

What... no pictures in the fiirst 50 posts?!? What's happened to FR?!!!!

Isn't Jamie Lee Curtis is now 46. True Lies - her and The Govornator.

[Sub-Driver]

yea, you & i have been let down!

[XBob]

200 - Whoopi Goldberg

"I would wonder why she would even be complaining --- it would seem that she could still get pretty good acting roles. Her career wasn't based on being a bimbo."

Because Whoopi is a true liberal, welfare kid and welfare mom, who got out of the system because she happened to be a fine commediane.

I may miss a point once in a while, but not because I try....:)

I'm not in the same positions as these women. I'm quite comfortable in my 40s with my looks, and have no problem with getting male attention, when I want it. My problem these days is that I can't seem to find a man to hold MINE.

[wizardoz]

....they were perfectly happy to become rich in their twenties and thirties because they could supply what the market demanded but now insist that the market must change to meet their desires now that they no longer can supply what the market demands...

Yup. That sums it up. Stella ain't getting her groove back unless the market says so... as it should be.
