[al baby]

Thats Eric in drag have you ever seen them together

[Diddle E. Squat]

Was she the star of Sea Biscuit?

[mabelkitty]

Is she doing her best Sarah Jessica Parker impersonation?

[NYC GOP Chick]

YEEEHAA!

[weegee]

Hey Billy, there may not be anyone left in New Zealand for LOTR winners to thank but some, like Peter Jackson, could still thank Forrest J. Ackerman (Uncle Forry, 4SJ,etc...) Editor of Famous Monsters Of Filmland (sort of an appropriate title for the thread of Oscar dresses tonight).

Forry was the inspiration for Spielberg, John Landis, Lucas, Stephen King, et al. Peter Jackson even got a cameo from Forrest in one of his movies.

I'd tell you what a fluffer does but I'd get banned. PG version: a male porn star's off-screen "helper"

[John H K]

Is Julia trying to look like Sara Jessica Parker?

Both are top two on my "So why, exactly, are these women considered attractive?" list.

[mass55th]

That looks like Kerry before Botox

[Pukin Dog]

Yes, but with implants.

[nutmeg]

Julia Roberts --- in the dictionary between biteme and b*itch.

LOL!

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

You don't need to know what a fluffer is, trust me.

Did they raise Tina Louise from the dead?

[krb]

Julia seems kind of bitchy during her Hepburn "tribute".

[don-o]

Waiting for a train wreck in the cesspool. What is wrong with this pic?

[linn37]

Master and Commander is excellent.

[Pukin Dog]

So why, exactly, are these women considered attractive?

They both look like Gay men.

[seenenuf]

Master and Comd is one of a kind in scope. Deserves
the big screen if any file does. Go, you'll like it a lot.

[AgentEcho]

I've been bitc*ing about that all night.

[BigWaveBetty]

Rich has the cutest little baby face!

[weegee]

Peter Jackson could also thank Willis O'Brien and Ray Harryhausen for their magical creations which definitely set the bar to which Peter tried to surpass.

Even now Peter Jackson is at work again on his King Kong.

[mass55th]

Thanks, it definitely looked like an interesting film in the trailers.
