aniston has made a career of seeming to promise nudity in her films and then never delivering it. and her kiss with courtney cox on whatever show that was had no passion whatsoever. but it was promised as much more.

aniston's career ends when people no longer want to see her naked...

Not that I am one, but I am certain there are many who fall into this category.

While true, I feel I must remind you that this is a family-friendly forum.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Eternal Sunshine is one of my favorite movies. Care to elaborate, Cail?

Jennifer Anniston is funny. She's not a bad actress. I don't get the hate.

As for the naked comment, you could say the same about most women. It's an unfortunate fact that once women are past their prime, they don't pull in audiences like they used to. Yes, it's sexist, but true.

Not just women; every actor, past a certain age, has to start whoring themselves out just to continue to work. Ben Kingsley was in Bloodrayne, for crying out loud.

By the way, BloodRayne should be on this list. Or pretty much anything by Uwe Boll.

Kinglsey, Deniro, Pacino - actors get to a stage it seems - where they stop reading scripts and see if the paycheck clears.

I just rewatched Heat and then came across Meet the Parents on one of the movie channels. WTH? or that dreadful movie Deniro did with Jane Fonda. ugh.

I am sure though I would do the same - cash out - if i could.

Aniston only bothers me because she promotes it. I don't believe should have to strip for movies.

I kind of liked that movie, though it is a bit overwrought.

I second that.

I liked that Aniston/Sandler movie where he plays the anal insurance guy and she's the freewheeling hippie... loved him butchering the salsa... not much a fan otherwise.

Okay, my contribution is Queen of the Damned, which my husband had on last night. You'd have to really, REALLY love vampires to make it through this one, although some of it was lol material. You'll run screaming back to Twilight, begging forgiveness.

I too hated 300, and I see they made a spoof (Meet the Spartans). Why bother? It was ridiculous enough as it was. My husband channel-surfed past Meet the Spartans a couple times and it was like, when the Spartans come out of the tunnel to engage the Persians in battle, Leonides says, "Spartans!!! We gon' stomp the yard." Then they begin stepping... :roll:

Edit: On second thought, that joke may be a little inappropriate.

Yeah, all those films are awful. Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans are the worst I've seen, but all of that genre of just bundling up as many pop culture and film references as possible into one string of jokes is bad.

Date Movie had Alyson Hannigan in a lead role. I watched it on TV thinking it might turn out okay. It is one of the worst things I have ever seen.
