Content with eye-candy?

Tony Vado (Competent) posted this on Monday, 16th April 2001, 03:02

In many reviews (some on this site) you are told "worth buying just to see actress X in a leather suit". Is it just me that finds this annoying and distracting, because it misses the point a bit don`t you think:- Is she well cast in the role? can she act? is the film good overall?. Like Entrapment, some people bought this just to see Zeta-Jones in tight clothes moving slowly. If you like that sort of thing, buy porn (at least get your money`s worth!), but don`t push studios into commisioning more trash, stuff that doesn`t need a decent story or direction because they`ve got a hot babe in it (anyone like Barb wire?). If they`re well cast, and also good looking, that`s fine (great infact), but their attraction should be much less important than their ability. Who out there buys for appearance and who agrees with me.

I agree with you but, let`s face it, filmmakers aren`t gonna start casting Kathy Burke in everything just because she can act.

Ha ha, I did think that comment about Kathy Burke was funny!

It`s true though, if someone is fit, they get the part. Most of my mates just watch films because a fit bird`s in it! They don`t care about the film, as long as they get some nice images in their minds so they can have "one-off-the-wrist" after the films finished.....

As long as peoples attitude`s are like that then producers will keep churning the s*** out. Unfortunately if you`re mingin` it doesn`t matter if you can act or not.....

By the way, Catherine did look rather nice in that outfit in Entrapment!
