You know what pisses me off about Bridget Jones II? Not the stereotyped view that all women secretly or not so secretly yearn to marry. No, I can accept and ignore that.

Not that RZ weighs pretty much what I weigh in the movie and everywhere I go now it is "OMG SHE IS A COW!!11!!" only in US Weekly Headline Speak and RZ had to immediately transform herself into an anorexic goth to gain any sense of self-worth at all. No, I accept that pop culture thinks a size 10 is overweight and while I may have issues about that for the rest of my life, it doesn't bug me on a moment to moment basis. Not enough to drop the cream cheese wonton I just ate, apparently.

What really bugs me is that, essentially - Bridget looks like me. Skin tone, body type, big cheeks. Yeah - we could be cousins. And I just cannot buy that Colin Firth and Hugh Grant will ever get into a throw-down over me.

Although I can dream.

What if I get into a throw-down with

sockkpuppett over you? I doubt either Hugh or Colin would take a second glance at me and I fit in the typical Hollywood weight stigma guidelines.

Sensible celebrity hunks worth their salt *should* throw down for you, for you are a hottie, and a brilliant one.

The fact that Colin Firths and Hugh Grants don't tend to hang out in the radius of your glowing humor and warm, cuddlesome charm is their loss, my dear. Not yours.

Certainly they would. Of course they would. :)

Personally, I haven't seen BJII but the first film implied the same things, didn't it? Although I guess that was more about choosing the good guy instead of the attractive bad guy, but still, BJ's entire self image was based on how men liked her and how attractive or not attractive she might be to them, specifically. IMO, she was never a paradigm of feminist ideals. *g*

I still love the first film, tho. And I don't care what Colin Firth is in, I'll love him and watch him in it. Repeatedly. I watched What A Girl Wants, fer heaven sakes, and I liked it. *hangs head*

Oh god - I was in Cinci with a friend and we were at the hotel getting ready to go clubbing and we stopped everything to watch that movie cause LEATHER PANTS!!

Leather Pants? Uh-oh, now I have to see it. Would you say they're better than nekkid CF in L'Avocat?

Yes! Leather! And then he dances. I... yeah. *love*

I'd get into a throw down with someone over you.

Silly girl. I heard them talking about you last week. They keep sending you AIM messages but you won't stop playing with Premiere long enough to answer. And they would so get in a throw-down over you, except they'd rather you all had fun together...

IMO, you are waaay cuter than Bridget Jones.

What they all said. You're wicked cute.
