: I gotta go with Delilah on this one. A lot of really great young actresses were mentioned for the part, and who gets it? The Breasts.
Tsk, tsk ladies. I wasn't even aware Shannon had breasts.
: None of the other three (Hudson, Smart, or Carradine) seem very endowed in the chestal area, but they are all bright and beautiful actresses.
Wait a sec - you can opine on the latter, but can you honestly speak knowingly on the former?
: Why'd Elizabeth get the part? My guess is tits.
You guess wrong. She got the part because she's gonna be perfect.
And since nobody knows what the part is, let's institute a moratorium on judgement calls, shall we?
: I'm betting on some toplessness.
You'd lose.
: And before anyone cries "jealous," it's not that. I'm just annoyed that in the game of life, it still seems that tits beat brains like paper beats rock.
Again, where do you get the impression that Shannon's not brainy but the other girls are? I've sat down with some of these cats. I can tell you you're barking up the wrong tree.
And regardless, it's not a brainy part. It's not a boobs-y part either, so quit making that assumption.
: It is just insulting.
To whom?
: Brains and talent should prevail.
They have, ma'am. They have.
: I'm hoping/guessing/assuming that Elizabeth must be a good actress underneath those mammoth mams because Kevin surely wouldn't cast a chick simply because of her jugs--would he?
No.
: But then again, maybe that's what the part calls for. She is supposed to be Jay's love interest or something.
Or something.
: I just hate Shannon Elizabeth and love Kate Hudson.
Ah, but there's a Kate story - and not a pretty one. Look for it in three weeks over at Psycomic, in the ninth 'Developing the Monkey' installment.
: I would even do bad things to Kate, she's that adorable.
Now we cut to the meat of your beef.
: And Amy Smart is sassy and Ever Carradine is very endearing, too. So I'm miffed. I'm gonna go pout now.
Save the pouting until you've seen the flick.
