Your Top 5 babes

~mrchips Thu, Aug 19, 1999 (21:07) #102

Fiennes--and his brother too, are both terrific actors. The amazing thing to me about Juliette Binoche is how adept she is in English vernacular and accent although she's French. And she's not hard on the ocular nerves, either...

~MarciaH Thu, Aug 19, 1999 (21:16) #103

Feinnes...Bah humbug! Why does Colin Firth always have to take a subsidiary role to those brothers? He was the cuckold in TEP to "Rafe" and in SiL to Joseph. I hear they have a younger brother...too terrible to contemplate! JB is ok... I thought she was cute and talented. I wish they had played up that love story as the book did more than the other one, but...!

~Gregory Thu, Aug 19, 1999 (21:26) #104

5. Shania Twain 4. Pamela Lee 3. Jamie Lee Curtis 2. Reba McEntire 1. Julia Roberts

~autumn Thu, Aug 19, 1999 (23:23) #105

Gregory, I'm guessing Pamela was higher up on the list until she had her breast reduction. :-) John, your tastes are so multicultural! You're an equal opportunity drooleur.

~mrchips Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (03:23) #106

Yes, I am! One of the reasons I love Hawaii so much!

~mrchips Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (03:24) #107

I do love Reba McEntire. There's a woman with both beautiful red hair and talent!

~mrchips Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (03:35) #108

Marcia, I don't know what to say about Colin Firth and his roles in relationship with the Fiennes (sorry, I couldn't help using the names in the same sentence in this context. Bad agent maybe? He sure does have talent, though.

~MarciaH Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (12:49) #109

Thanks for your comiseration. There are a whole bunch of Firthians in Drool who would like to sit down with this man and fire his agent. In perfectly dreadful movies, he still manages to pull out a performance worthy of his talent, but is is almost never worthy of the effort. If you have not yet seen Fever Pitch, and get the chance (I have the PAL conversion) please see it. It is amazing, but still not Darcy. I can have top five babes? 5. Colin Firth 4. Harrison Ford 3. Sean Connery (see, Frank was not a fluke!) 2. Laurence Olivier (if we are into counting dead ones) 1. Colin Firth

~mrchips Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (17:30) #110

All fine actors...multicultural in a way...only one American (but Harrison Ford SOUNDS so English)...Sean Connery is Irish, but since Bond, everyone thinks he's English (same with Pierce Brosnan). But again, we've been drooled!

~mrchips Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (17:32) #111

And ath thomeone with a lithp might thay (isn't it cruelly ironic that someone with a lisp can't pronounce their affliction--George Carlin, my favorite stand-up philosopher)...you thought Firth wath tho nithe, you mentioned him twithe!

~KarenR Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (17:37) #112

Sean Connery is Scottish. They are ready to elect him King. ;-D

~mrchips Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (17:41) #113

I sit corrected. I did detect a Gaelic brogue in his accent. When one speaks English as well as he does it's hard to tell the difference.

~KarenR Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (17:46) #114

Then you must have stopped watching Sean when gave up Bond because he no longer keeps the burr under wrrrrraaaaaaps. If there is anything we Drooleurs know, it's our Droolees. ;-D

~mrchips Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (17:50) #115

He kinda had to when he played Arthur in "First Knight," but I must admit, other than that movie, "The Man Who Would Be King," and "Just Cause" (he played an American professor) he hasn't done much that interests me since Bond.

~mrchips Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (17:51) #116

BTW, he was terribly miscast isn "Just Cause" (a terrific movie), but both Laurence Fishburne and Ed Harris were dynamite in it.

~MarciaH Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (17:56) #117

You cannot imagine what fun it is to find my Hilo buddy of long standing discussing the fine points of Drool in Babes, with on of my best Firthian Friends (who can also write fiction circles around most people)...*lol* May I formally introduce you?!

~mrchips Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (18:00) #118

I guess I wrote some fiction too, when I imagined Connery as Irish. I did check the internet movie database, though, which did confirm Ms. Karen's Conneric rectitude (born 1930, Edinburgh--Sean, not Karen!).

~wolf Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (20:19) #119

john, have you seen untouchables? sean was great in it (and so was costner btw)

~KarenR Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (21:54) #120

"When Capone puts one of yours in the hospital, you put one of his in the morgue. That's the Chicago way." The Untouchables!! Great film and shot right here. Famous shot of entire group standing in middle of street was right in front of where I worked. Connery uses full Scottish burr in that one, despite the fact his character is supposed to be Irish. I can always hear it even when he's supposed to be a right proper Englishman. I don't think he has tried to hide it for many years. I also liked The Hunt for Red October, The Name of the Rose (or was it the book I liked??), and Marnie. And Marcia, your praise is going to make me *blush* Have to go, my one-day pass out of Drool is expiring. ;-D

~wolf Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (22:19) #121

didn't hear of marnie, saw bits of the name of the rose but heard the book was better, never did see hunt for red october. tried the book and couldn't get passed the descriptions of all the instruments *grin* i love sean's accent and he should never hide it!

~MarciaH Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (22:43) #122

Oooh, Hunt for Red October is a stunning movie. Loved it!

~KarenR Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (23:04) #123

Marnie? With Tippi Hedren? By Hitchcock? Go rent it. Re: Clancy books. You are allowed to skim techno-babble. He's one of my fav junk authors. Movie wasn't true to book, but are they ever? ;-D

~MarciaH Fri, Aug 20, 1999 (23:16) #124

I find if I love the book I will not see the movie (the exception is Firth's Pride and Prejudice...*gasping sigh* Not after what they did to my fav book as a young teenager, Ben Hur...and it won all of those awards! (BTW, a relative of mine was in the first Ben Hur)

~mrchips Sat, Aug 21, 1999 (00:16) #125

I was less impressed with "The Untouchables" than Wolf was. To me, Costner just doesn't make it as a tough guy...Wyatt Earp was another example of that. "Tombstone" ten times better, and so was Kurt Russell's Earp. But Val Kilmer as a Coleridge quoting, laudenum quaffing, tuberculosis coughing Doc Holliday was classic! Back to "The Untouchables," Connery was terrific, burr and all. I still knew he was going to get blown away when he said "Just like a (racist expletive for Italian) to bring a knife to a gunfight!"

~mrchips Sat, Aug 21, 1999 (00:17) #126

By the way, I'm tired of "Babes." It has been, through no intention of mine, turned to "Drool."

~mrchips Sat, Aug 21, 1999 (18:43) #127

I now remember Tia Carrere's real given name...as I mentioned, when I coached her in softball she was 11 (1976). She was Althea Janairo. Graduated 1983: Sacred Hearts H.S. in Honolulu. Not only has singing talent to go with looks, but brains, too. Could have done well in college, but was "discovered" in Zane's IGA in Honolulu (Kaimuki) by the mother of a movie producer. She showed her brains by marrying a rich, young, handsome real estate developer in California. Would have loved to make the wedding but, *sniff* I wasn't invited. I haven't seen her since she was a child.

~wolf Sat, Aug 21, 1999 (20:38) #128

watching some show on max with her in it. also got one of the baldwin brothers. and one of the guys that was on magnum p.i. (the chopper guy). and for your information, women can choose valid women babes too (and we don't have to be lesbian or bi to do it either)

~MarciaH Sat, Aug 21, 1999 (21:05) #129

Hear! Hear! Amen...

~mrchips Sat, Aug 21, 1999 (22:33) #130

The chopper guy on Magnum is Roger T. Mosley (good guy--still lives in Hawaii). I never once questioned a woman's sexuality for mentioning the relative babeosity of another woman (unless the woman mentioning had a deeper voice than mine and could drive a golf ball 250 yards).

~terry Sun, Aug 22, 1999 (10:24) #131

You coached Tia Carrere! You did a good job!

~mrchips Sun, Aug 22, 1999 (17:00) #132

Like I had anything to do with her acting career or her good looks. But I'll accept any praise, even the false variety.

~Gregory Mon, Aug 30, 1999 (20:36) #133

autum No Pamela was not any higher on the list with or with the breast reduction. :)

~riette Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (08:58) #134

Eeuw! I'm glad I'm not a man! Spamela Anderson, Mariah Carrey, Tia Carrere - eeuw!! If I were a man, I'd rather be gay!

~autumn Tue, Aug 31, 1999 (22:54) #135

Ha-ha!

~terry Thu, Sep 2, 1999 (10:56) #136

Spamela and Mariah ah I can see, but Tia? Why is she on Ree's not-babes list?

~riette Thu, Sep 2, 1999 (12:20) #137

Because she looks like a leech.

~terry Fri, Sep 3, 1999 (09:06) #138

Leech? She looked good as the stand up singer in Waynes World. I'm thinking of the scene where they did the satellite broadcast to the record company guy's limo near the movies end.

~mrchips Fri, Sep 3, 1999 (10:00) #139

I'm prejudiced, but I think she's hot. Great mix, too. Mostly Filipina with some Hawaiian, Chinese and Spanish thrown in. She won't get a wrinkle before age 50.

~riette Fri, Sep 3, 1999 (14:27) #140

OK, I'll be quiet now. I respect her for the fact that you knew her and thought she was a nice person. And I can't judge female sex-appeal, so I'm out of my league. It's true what you say though about people with mixed genes - they are more attractive than us inbreds, and their beauty lasts forever. Damn all of them. �sweetest smile�

~mrchips Fri, Sep 3, 1999 (22:42) #141

Everybody is entitled to an opinion. I try to be nice even when being disagreeable...and it appears you do too (Damn Tom Cruise!...he's good looking AND RICH!) I'm glad I got that out of my system!

~riette Sat, Sep 4, 1999 (01:39) #142

ha-ha! I find Tom Cruise as uncool as they come....

~autumn Sat, Sep 4, 1999 (17:45) #143

Too much of a pretty-boy...

~mrchips Sat, Sep 4, 1999 (18:58) #144

Yes, but a rich pretty-boy and married to Nicole Kidman (woo-hoo!)

~riette Sun, Sep 5, 1999 (02:42) #145

Oh no, don't tell me Nicole Kidman is sexy....is my judgement THAT off?????

~mrchips Sun, Sep 5, 1999 (05:41) #146

C'mon...aren't YOU a redhead, too?

~riette Sun, Sep 5, 1999 (09:11) #147

�growl� Kinder people call it auburn. AUBURN, John!

~MarciaH Tue, Sep 7, 1999 (21:06) #148

Kristen is a redhead...Ree is a luscious Auburn beauty.

~mrchips Tue, Sep 7, 1999 (21:21) #149

I'm a guy...to me auburn is dark red...if a man knows the difference between "teal" and "aquamarine" hire him to decorate your home...he's gay.

~MarciaH Tue, Sep 7, 1999 (21:41) #150

You have your computer monitor set to four colors, too? Women have much better color acuity (so my ex told me) but I did not know it was That much better!

~MarciaH Tue, Sep 7, 1999 (21:47) #151

(mike froze my topic...so much for male hunk immortality!)

~mrchips Wed, Sep 8, 1999 (02:29) #152

My mom always insisted her hair was auburn (I could have sworn it was red). It doesn't matter now. If it's red--it's store bought or salon applied!

~mrchips Wed, Sep 8, 1999 (02:33) #153

Sorry, Ree...I'm impaired, not vicious...my mom might argue with that, though. Still, I like Nicole Kidman.

~mrchips Wed, Sep 8, 1999 (02:35) #154

Besides, I like women growling at me. It reminds me of Ling Woo (Lucy Liu's character on "Ally McBeal").

~riette Wed, Sep 8, 1999 (03:26) #155

So I have the OCCASIONAL red hair amongst all the auburn ones, okay?? �snort� Marcia, you think we should create another Male Babe topic? It might annoy Mike, but he only comes on every week or so - maybe he won't notice for a while. We could call it something else, so he won't spot it right away.

~mrchips Wed, Sep 8, 1999 (04:00) #156

Go for it ladies...

~mrchips Wed, Sep 8, 1999 (06:07) #157

AUBURN AUBURN AUBURN I'm going to have to remember that "Auburn" is a hair color and not just a university more famous for its football than its academics. And I'm sure if I don't, I'll be reminded. My mom says thanks for helping her with that.

~riette Wed, Sep 8, 1999 (14:50) #158

gmpf! Can't believe you can't tell the difference between carrot and auburn ... There's a UNIVERSITY called auburn? You're kidding, right??

~mrchips Wed, Sep 8, 1999 (14:53) #159

No. It's in Auburn, Alabama. And it usually has a good (American-style) football team. The Tigers. They are the arch rivals of the University of Alabama Crimson Tide (Forrest Gump's team).

~terry Thu, Sep 9, 1999 (01:22) #160

It's not a joke ree, it's a real red blooded American football school, and you're such a big gootball fan right?

~MarciaH Thu, Sep 9, 1999 (02:01) #161

Let's huddle on that suggestion Ree, and guess what the school colors are for Auburn?!

~MarciaH Thu, Sep 9, 1999 (02:02) #162

...or we could set it up in Geo Conference and call it Gee....OH!!!!!

~riette Thu, Sep 9, 1999 (04:24) #163

Oh no, the school colors aren't RED, are they??? That'll undermine my point! And, yeah RIGHT, Terry!

~zx6rider Tue, Apr 25, 2000 (18:59) #164

OK I posted my male babes in that other topic... so I feel it's only fair that I post my female babes here. These are 'drool-worthy' in my book ;-) Julia Ormond Peta Wilson Angelina Jolie (as a brunette, hate her as a blonde) Tina Turner (I don't care how old she is) Joan Chen honorable mention: Sandra Bullock, Victoria Pratt (Sarge on Cleopatra 2525), Carrie-Ann Moss (Trinity in the Matrix), Stacy Dragila (U.s Womens pole vault)

~MarciaH Tue, Apr 25, 2000 (19:03) #165

Good thinking, Gena *smile* Totally appropriate! I agreed with your last 2 for sure...

~wolf Tue, Apr 25, 2000 (19:29) #166

madeline stowe julia ormond juliette binoche (is that her first name?) sandra bullock tina turner (go girl!!) (i might be adding some)

~MarciaH Tue, Apr 25, 2000 (19:35) #167

I shall think on this and add some. TT is such a great lady!!!

~sprin5 Tue, Apr 25, 2000 (22:11) #168

>She's 61 and she blew smoke in San Anton' the other day, I only wish I had been there. The reviews said she played an awesome 4 hour set, her last tour. Madeline Stowe is great. And of course Sandy is a local around these parts. The recent reviews in the Austin paper had a subhead that said "Sandy, if you're reading these, skip all these and just read review number 3" > >I like funny girls like Jan Hooks (http://www.janhooks.com), Sarah Jessica Parker, I'll think of more.

~zx6rider Tue, Apr 25, 2000 (22:34) #169

Tina Turner is... AMAZING! I have tickets for her Boston concert in June. I can't wait. I saw her back in the 80's on her 'Private Dancer' tour. This one is said to be her best.

~sprin5 Tue, Apr 25, 2000 (22:47) #170

Great, it's her last Boston concert and her final tour. Heather Grahame. Sarah Michelle Geller. Gwyneth Paltrow. Joan Allen. Cameron Diaz. Helen Hunt. Funny, foxy women.

~zx6rider Tue, Apr 25, 2000 (22:49) #171

Whoops... I got more babes! Amanda Peet (sp), Melina Kanakaredes, Michelle Pfieffer, Halle Berry.

~sprin5 Tue, Apr 25, 2000 (22:54) #172

Neve Campbell Lisa Kudrow Teri Hatcher (sort of) Mariel Hemingway Courtney Cox More funny, pretty girls.

~MarciaH Tue, Apr 25, 2000 (22:57) #173

Is that your list...No Austinites? (heck, not even any Hiloites!)

~MarciaH Tue, Apr 25, 2000 (23:00) #174

Just kidding! Glad you shortened your pseudo...on confifty I could not tell where you were posting!

~sprin5 Tue, Apr 25, 2000 (23:27) #175

Add some Austinites: Sandy, of course Marcia Ball the lady singer in Timbuck III Joni Gilton, activist Patrice Sullivan Diana Knowles actress

~MarciaH Tue, Apr 25, 2000 (23:35) #176

Thought there should be some long-stemmed roses in your selection. Very nice!

~autumn Mon, May 1, 2000 (22:45) #177

Pretty, vivacious women: Sela Ward Andee MacDowell Michelle Pfeiffer Ashley Judd Julia Roberts

~sprin5 Tue, May 2, 2000 (01:27) #178

Sela Ward was on that show Sisters, who were the other two actresses on that show?

~autumn Fri, May 5, 2000 (22:28) #179

Let's see...Julianne Moore (formerly Mrs. Bruce Springsteen); Swoosie Kurtz; and Georgianna somebody (she was also on "thirtysomething"--played Susanna, Gary's wife).

~autumn Fri, May 5, 2000 (22:29) #180

Wait, Georgianna was her name on the show (Georgie for short); just can't remember her real name at all. (ok, now I'm going to be up all night!)

~sprin5 Sat, May 6, 2000 (09:49) #181

It only took 10 seconds of netsearching to find this, I keyed in the words sisters georgie in my browser and this site came up: http://www.sisterstv.com/sisters.asp Left to right. Frankie, Teddy, Georgie, Alex. Julianne Phillips, Sela Ward, Patricia Kalember, Swoosie Kurtz. This site if full of trivia and facts on this show.

~sprin5 Sat, May 6, 2000 (09:50) #182

~MarciaH Sat, May 6, 2000 (12:17) #183

Pardon me for being so "out of touch", but who is that stunner holding up the guy?

~sprin5 Sat, May 6, 2000 (16:59) #184

You mean the guy holding up the stunner?

~MarciaH Sun, May 7, 2000 (00:10) #185

Nope - wanna know who the female in the pix is. The guy does nothing for me just looking at him in this picture.

~sprin5 Sun, May 7, 2000 (12:00) #186

You can cross reference it with the pictures I posted earlier in the topic, I would but I'm in text mode only right now.

~MarciaH Sun, May 7, 2000 (13:00) #187

Gotcha! I should have known... That's ok. I'll leave the ladies to you. Men are far more interesting!

~autumn Sun, May 7, 2000 (16:14) #188

THAT'S IT!! Patricia Kalember. Thank you, Terry! Good night, everyone! :-)

~MarciaH Sun, May 7, 2000 (16:34) #189

Thank you! Worthy lady, indeed!
