A) She's ludicrously gorgeous, and
B) She can act.

She was pretty cute in Demolition Man.

 
AdolfOliverPanties [TotalFark] 2009-11-24 08:53:53 PM  
I didn't mind "The Proposal" simply because she was in it. That movie made a shiat-ton of money, but if you had cast it with Aniston it would have tanked.

Nice gals can still finish first.

Women dig her because she's pretty but not threateningly pretty. The characters she plays aren't sexpots but normal women.

Women can relate to that. I mean, sure, she can be sexy. But that's not the defining trait of the roles she plays, unlike many female characters on movies.

c) none of the above.

She's ugly, can't act, is annoying, snorts like a pig when she laughs, and has the body of a 12 year old boy.

That pretty much nails it. Plus she's the kind of spunky that every soccer mom secretly thinks they are.

Women like her movies and want their guys to see them.
Guys like her looks and so will watch her movies.

All I know is that between The Proposal and The Blindside she looks like she's aged 15 years.

 
Bonanza Jellybean 2009-11-24 10:40:01 PM  
Because the kind of dreadful movies that she "stars" in don't cost a whole heckuva lot to make. There's a shiatty new romantic comedy out every 3 weeks; she just happens to be in some of them.

You're too harsh, she's just a bit past her peak freshness date.

 
mabelkitty 2009-11-24 10:54:17 PM  
Her movies make money and Hollywood doesn't give her money - she produces these movies herself and has been for quite some time.

She's also not Julia Roberts who can't open an envelope outside of the Ocean's 12 cast standing next to her.

Let's talk about the abortion that is Jennifer Aniston, shall we?

Your deep knowledge of the bodies of 12 year old boys is impressive, Mr Ass. Love the profile pic, like you're pinching the loaf of your life.

Because she owns her own production company and her movies consistently turn a profit?

"Read aloud with us then, the list of the films Sandra Bullock has inflicted upon society since her great moment (with Rotten Tomatoes scores): All About Steve (6), The Proposal (43), Premonition (8), The Lake House (36), Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous (14), Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (44), Murder by Numbers (30), Miss Congeniality (40), 28 Days (30), Gun Shy (24), Forces of Nature (46), Practical Magic (21), Hope Floats (23), Speed 2: Cruise Control (2), In Love and War (12), Two If by Sea (12), The Net (30)"

While You Were Sleeping - 85
A Time To Kill - 69
The Blind Side - 73
Infamous - 71

Sure, if you selectively choose only the turkeys, she's going to look bad.

 
FarkProudly 2009-11-24 11:07:35 PM  
As a woman, I like her movies...She is pretty and seems nice. And, she doesn't fly off to communist countries to denounce the USA. I like her voice, very unique.

 
CigaretteSmokingMan 2009-11-24 11:07:58 PM  
d) I'd bang her.

 
crzytxn 2009-11-24 11:15:31 PM  
Congenialty 2 and The Propsal for instance, made another $100 million overseas. Even The Lake House made $62 million overseas. Compare that to Will Ferrell whose films never travel. Talledega Nights, for instance earned $143 million domestic but only $14 million abroad. His last four films have each earned less than $30 million overseas.

The author would like us to take him seriously but throws out Will Ferrell's name in an article about acting? Will Farking Ferrell?

By the way, those numbers indicate that people overseas have better taste than Americans give them credit for.

Aniston certainly is an anomaly. 6 of her lowest ranking movies don't total $100 million when added together, but her 3 highest money makers total north of a half a billion dollars.

/didn't realize she got producer credit for "The Departed"

Your recent postings are starting make me think you're either an unpleasant individual or a rather committed troll.

 
Flappyhead 2009-11-24 11:57:09 PM  
In answer to the question, Hollywood is like the music industry. If you make somebody 100 million 3 times out of ten you're good. 5 out of 10 you're a star. More then that and you could film yourself shiatting on a puppy and they'd still give you 20 million. You can hate Bullock, but she has made all the right people a LOT of money.

I actually bumped into Sandra years ago at the wardrobe dept. on the Universal lot. I was on the elevator and when the doors opened a woman who was waiting for it started walking backwards into the car because she was still talking to the receptionist. As I was trying to exit we bumped into one another, as I turned to say "excuse me" I recognized her and she apologized to me. I never got a word out...and the doors closed.

She was ridiculously beautiful.

producers picked Bullock over PARKER POSEY (shown in previous post)
for the female lead in SPEED.

The Bullock chick gives me negative wood.

You're nuts. Bullock is HOT as hell and was perfect for that role. Now don't get me wrong, I loves me some Parker Posey, but nobody plays "cold harpy" like she does.

The_Sponge: I really want to see "The Blind Side".

My wife really wanted to see this film, so I thought we would go to the first showing on Monday morning. Nobody will be there at that time, right. The theater was packed. I'm saying this movie will make a bundle.

I read an interview with the director of the film and he said that Sandra Bullock was the most professional actor he has ever worked with.

InmanRoshi 2009-11-25 02:08:47 AM  
Uhm, I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that her last movie made 150 million at the box office domestically ... and required next to nothing in special effects or production costs?

Oh hey, look ... it's an internet blogger with no business sense. Who could imagine such a thing?

I've also seen her in person. The camera doesn't do her justice.

 
GhostFish 2009-11-25 02:15:04 AM  
There's a shortage of actresses that can effectively pull off the role of a strong female lead. Bullock doesn't quite blend in with the rest of the waifs and bimbos.

Not saying she's perfect, but she's got something going for her.

 
bhcompy [TotalFark] 2009-11-25 02:26:52 AM  
Speed and Demolition Man. No other movies need to be mentioned. Hell, it's a pity she's not in more action movies.

/The Net is a hilarious

 
lelio 2009-11-25 03:04:57 AM  
she has five more films queued up in development; five movies which, given Bullock's track-record, seem eminently judgable by their titles. So get ready for The Sprinkler Queen

I thought Cytherea was staring in that!? To the twitter to find out

I know you are trolling, but just for fun, why not post a few pics, or names, of women you consider bang-worthy good actresses? Not that you have ever had a chance with any of them, but as I said, just for fun. Male actors are also acceptable, given your preoccupation wtih 12 year old oys.

Sadly this means we will probably see a Zooey Daschenel soon, or that semi'homely girl that sings about online games.

While they are unnatractive compared to say fat lard pittsburgh girls, I do find them not attractive to me.
