Bums On Seats
Acting is about pretending. It’s also a business in which investors want to know ahead of time that they have a bankable star in the leading role. There may be other actors or actresses who would suit this part better, but I doubt many of them have had major roles in the Avengers films. Like it or not, that counts for something.
So writes John Sexton, steering us towards today’s pressing moral conundrum:
Is Scarlett Johansson too female to play a transgender man?
Answers on a postcard, please.
Maybe instead of a gangster brothel owner, she could rescue a bunch of teenagers from a flooded cave? The whole transgenderism plot could turn on some crisis causing her to forget to stick her sock down the front of her wetsuit.
I’m imagining lots of slow shots of her swimming, with plenty of focus on her backside. Because of the dramatic tension, dontcha know.

Somehow I KNEW that was the post you were linking to, yet I clicked anyways.
Sigh.
So many things posted here that can never be unseen, yet I keep coming back for more.
It’s the humor in how all this the drek is presented, the dry wit, the intelligent commentary on it all that I enjoy, I think. And that keeps me from wanting to tear out my hair or go on a 3 day bender.
And the art. Mustn’t forget the Art and Culture of which our host so kindly ensures we get plenty.
the dry wit, the intelligent commentary…
I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch that. Could you say it again, but louder?
THE DRY PICKLED “EGGS,” THE INTELLIGENT PICKLED P*N*SES…
What?
You SAID, say it louder…
Never thought I’d see anything less plausible than Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher, but the notion of Scarlett Johansson as a cross-dressing bull dyke proved me wrong.
See, the nice thing about Vimeo clips is that the title, containing the words “underwater flatulence” loaded well before the video started. this left plenty of time for a quick retreat to the comparative salubriousness of David’s pages.

Yes, looking good in comparison is one of the things I do well.
Yay!!! Justice triumphs after all…

Yay? More like Yikes! The talent level in Pickerington leaves much to be desired. Sad! And Miranda Panda? Really? Stage name I hope. Ay, oh, way to go Ohio…
I especially liked this part…
During her performance after removing her top exposing her breasts she began forcing the faces of patrons into her chest and using her bare breasts to smack the patrons.
I used to live in Columbus, Ohio. Pickerington is a wealthy suburb of same.

For whatever reason, the Lovely Bride is never sympathetic when I complain of being assaulted in this way.

Bachelor party weekend, late 1990’s, Fort Meyers, FL. Bachelor buddy gets “reluctantly” called up on stage, supposedly to have a line of girls dance for him. Things started out kinda as expected but by about the fifth girl, things started getting a little nasty, culminating in an “atomic wedgie” that pretty much ended the evening for everybody. A few weeks later there was a story in the paper about the same club where a guy got beat up so bad, he got a neck injury and was suing the establishment.
…culminating in an “atomic wedgie”…
Aaaand, we’re off the rails.

Protip: the strippers don’t really like you.
Yes yes, but are we all sleeping soundly in our gender equal societies?

Oh, they liked me. I was the one paying them. With all the other guys’ money. Closest I’ve ever come to being a Democrat.
These fads come and go. I feel my fellow Australian Cate Blanchett dodged a bullet by playing a male Bob Dylan in a film a few years back. The perpetually offended weren’t then that worried about cross gender roles by non transgender people. It’s almost like it doesn’t really matter….
Apparently the answer to the question posed in the original post is “yes”

(Sorry the link goes to Twitchy, but I haven’t seen another post on it yet).
Since SJ was also funding a good portion of the film, I hope she takes her $$$ with her.
Idiots. “Tex” Gill never took hormones or had surgery – she was as biologically female as SJ, yet SJ can’t dress up like a bloke and pretend to be one – y’know – ACT?
Pst314,
Really, really horribly late to this thread, but by the time I got to “I want rustlers, cut throats…” I was reading that in Harvey Korman’s voice.
Damn. I’m old.
And tired.

What if she buys me breakfast after her shift is over?
Jim Parsons AKA Sheldon is gay, but Sheldon is cis.
Why can he pretend but Scarlett cannot? Smells like …MISOGYNY!!!!
Growing up in the 1950s, there was a couple of women three houses up up the street who gave a young boy food for thought. My parents called them The McClain sisters, but one of them appeared to me to be a man. I’d see her exit the house in the AM dressed in a man’s suit, with a man’s haircut, get into her car and drive off. I never knew where she worked.
Several years later, as a young teen, I worked for the sisters one summer doing yard work and chores like cleaning out the garage. They were very good people to work for, paid above the going rate for juvenile labor, and did not have impossible standards for trim work.
Oh, yes. They were not sisters.
And now, of course, that the shrieking (what is the m2f trannies equivalent of a harpy?) have had their go, she isn’t playing a woman who may or may not have been transgender.

Sounds like their equality relation is neither commutative…
