Singularly Unattractive Actresses/Actors.

[Sardondi]

I'm afraid I've missed seeing both "Deadwood" and "Justified," so far.  I'll have to confess to somewhat missing some of the "innocence" of the "Gunsmoke" Western days.  Seems like Peckinpah changed that naivete of mine.  Just something about Festus and "Matthew" that I miss. 

It's a childhood thing for me. Often my 3 brothers and 3 cousins would spend Saturday night with my grandparents. One of my earliest memories is of all of us watching Have Gun Will Travel (the "Paladin" series) and Gunsmoke with my grandparents. One of my guilty pleasures today is going back to the 60's Gunsmokes to see the Festus shows, and back to the 50's episodes to see Chester.

Ah, yes, I can identify,Sardondi.  I grew up in the days of Gunsmoke, Have Gun Will Travel, The Rifleman, Wanted, Dead or Alive, etc.  I'm on the verge of having my own little Gunsmoke revival.

Bonanza .... Pa Cartwright, Little Joe, Hoss, and Adam.  A male cook ....... and not a woman in sight.
Never seemed to do any work around the 'ranch' ..... and not a woman in sight.
Always had their collective noses in other peoples business ..... and not a woman in sight.
Anything seem a little 'odd' here .... ?

Definitely.  Hop Sing never served Dim Sum on Sundays.

Did like 'The Wild Wild West' .........

I don't want to brag or anything, but I still know all the words to Rawhide.   My family also watched Maverick (that sassy Brett!), The Virginian, Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson.

Their wives had very abbreviated life spans, except for Adam who managed to leave and never come back thus deflecting the Cartwright Wife Curse.

I take a break most days at 1:00 PM and watch Gunsmoke on ME TV (Festus is my favorite character) and occasionally Bonanza at 2:00. Yesterday featured the first episode of Bonanza - very strange. Adam was the angry ranch ramrod, Joe was a nearly foppish punk and Hoss was, well, Hoss. Ben was fond of shouting all his lines, usually with a big smile on his face, and the people in Virginia City hated the Cartwrights and were trying to steal all their trees. Hop Sing's father ran a laundry (natch) in Virginia City.

[Treading Water]

We never missed Sugarfoot or WagonTrain.

[Sardondi]

I was about to take off on the wonder of Warner Brothers westerns, but instead of hijacking another thread, I think I'm gonna start a new one on TV Westerns. The "Singularly Unattractive Actresses/Actors thread is quite worthy and I'd hate to see it die from theft of oxygen.

[Caruthers612]

Yeah, I think Justified is very engaging. Boyd Crowder played by Walton Coggins is a great bad guy. Very well written. Timothy Olyphant, well my wife drools.

           I may have to join your wife, though strictly in the manly, non-brokeback mountain sense. It's just that he was so utterly cool in Hitman. I watched that movie over and over, loved it. And Olga Kurylenko...speaking of drool...

      What about The Rifleman? As a little boy I stumbled upon the reruns of that. America could use some Real Men like Chuck Conners again, eh what?

Clint Eastwood's show Rawhide was good

         I try to avoid late night talk shows in general, but accidentally making eye contact with one last night (not even sure which) has lead to me giving this mean-spirited thread a redivivus.

         The boyish waif Selma Blair now looks like Issac from Children of the Corn.

May I suggest that this and similar useless, trivial threads such as movies is just where you should be for the next few days. Or longer.

I...I just had an involuntary sphincter contraction.

I try to make it my regular zip code, especially in high dudgeon. The real life Keystone Cop and Ted Baxter antics of yesterday have pushed me into full escapist mode.

[West of the Rockies]

I usually avoid this particular type of thread because it seems a bit mean-spirited, but I've seen now several pictures of "Mama June" (Honey Boo-boo's mother) online today because she got married. 

Damn.

I've rarely seen such an unappealing person.  I don't know... I've never seen the show (Here Comes HoneyBooboo), so maybe the woman is a sterling individual, but she would sure make me turn tail and run the other direction.

I can truthfully say, not without some what I am sure is sinful pride, that I've never seen or heard the...woman.

Never seen "it"( the show, woman or child) but the downside of having sisters 24-28 years old is that they apparently are amused by this crud. On more than one occasion they've told me to watch it out of morbid kitchosity, but I refuse to even let such effluvium in my sights.

         BTW, pretty funny gag of People magazine putting Blythe Paltrow's daughter on the cover as "most beautiful". That's Python-esque.

Especially when she was declared the most hated celebrity in the country a couple of weeks before.

BWAAHAAAAHAAAAAA. Tell me this is true. I just unloaded on her smug, pretentious ass at "Things That Annoy You".

          I'm reviving this dormant thread for one reason only.

        I don't know who Lena Dunham is, or what she has done. But, goddamn does she qualify for this list. Fugly.

I disagree with you, she is very pretty. 



Im gonna say Sarah Jessica Parker and Jennifer Aniston.  I met Aniston once and she was mildly attractive but looked disgustingly anorexic.

[Sardondi]

Yes, Ms. Sarah Jessica Parker-Broderick can be difficult to behold coming from the gym after practicing her anorexia. But in Hocus Pocus, she was somehow made quite fetching. Of course that was about 20 years ago.

Otherwise, there's always Rhea Perlman to crack the lens. And there was the late Charlotte Coleman ("Scarlett" in Four Weddings And A Funeral).

Sarah J Parker looked pretty damn hot in that movie she did with Steve Martin called LA Story.
Every time I see her these days, I think of the web site that has pictures of her face next to a similar looking horse, and I giggle in shame. It must be hard to be a public figure with a horse face.

I wonder how many of us would make a cover of the national magazine, excluding if we blow someting up.

[Chine]

Mickey Rourke. What a shame. He was absolutely attractive at one time. Especially, in 9 1/2 weeks.

Very true. Also, this idea of beauty or that which we consider attractive is a manufactured machine. I took a course at Parsons, NYC...'The History of Body'. Examinations of cultural relativism of beauty in history. Scarring, tattoos, etc. And the industry of beauty over the years that promote it.

My father working in fashion photography, it was revealing. Personally, there's so much alluring to the 'what we call flawed'. ..as mentioned, the intellect and other attributes that result in sexy, attractive.

He mutilated himself.  That's all it can be called.

Yeah, truly I don't know what stops women from waiting until men are asleep and gutting them sometimes.

But don't get me wrong, I find some personalities deserving of scorn. Tyra Banks comes to mind. Let her be my neighbor for 2 days... it is all I ask.

[bateman]

Are we still talking about actresses we find revolting?

Julia Roberts, Julia Stiles, Drew Barrymore & Kirsten Dunst. Blecchh.
