Plastic Passion

EDIT: The debate is...

Plastic Passion - a large majority of the acting community that is seen by millions on TV and in films (whether they be American or otherwise, though this jockey's view is that the main offenders are the American ilk) are 'pretty' in a plastic way. Rather than natural beauty, in both conventional and unconventional terms, the prettyness is faked by way of make-up, 'photoshopping', and even plastic surgery in extreme circumstances.

Discuss.

Are you biased towards English chicks?

Possibly...

To me, most American actresses seem... plasticy. I might be generalising terribly here, but there seems to be, in America, a feeling that only the 'pretty' people should appear on screen. A classic example is The Office. From what I heard and read, the producers of the American version of The Office recast the entire show because the English cast weren't 'pretty' enough.

The same goes for American film - I can't instantly think of an American actress, or even an actor, who isn't 'pretty' in some way, or plasticy.

Have you seen the American cast of The Office? http://www.tv.com/the-office/show/22343/cast.html

Look again..

The same goes for American film - I can't instantly think of an American actress, or even an actor, who isn't 'pretty' in some way, or plasticy.

Jack Black

IMO, far less 'pretty' actors in the English version.

I'm going to posts not relating to Alba and Biel into an O&D thread.

They're all ugly.

Which lot?

And for people who have just joined us here on 125.9 FM, Radio Zelaron, todays subject of discussion is titled Plastic Passion - a large majority of the acting community that is seen by millions on TV and in films (whether they be American or otherwise, though this jockey's view is that the main offenders are the American ilk) are 'pretty' in a plastic way. Rather than natural beauty, in both conventional and unconventional terms, the prettyness is faked by way of make-up, 'photoshopping', and even plastic surgery in extreme circumstances.

Discuss.

Both groups. I don't see a standout in either of them.

Lenny, you just like Americans too much .

The same goes for American film - I can't instantly think of an American actress, or even an actor, who isn't 'pretty' in some way, or plasticy.

I couldn't agree with you more. Everyone who is not on TV has flappyness under their arm. Why shouldn't actors?

Well, the flappiness is from not taking care of yourself. When you have as much money as American Actors/Actresses, you can afford better food and fitness regimens.

And America isn't as fat as everyone makes it out to be.

alot of america is fat, and those who aren't think they are cause thats just how life is!

I'd say one out of every ten kids in my school is fat.

Adults... That's a different story. The cogs of the nation tend to get fatter because of their flawed mindset - That being fit somehow doesn't matter, or that they have so much "stress" it's forcing them to be fat.

And why, when a woman is told she's fat, does she eat?

alot don't. you'd be surprised

And America isn't as fat as everyone makes it out to be.

Yes we are. You know brandon whiblie. Among others!

Note how fast he came to your mind - being one of a very small number of obese Americans you know.

Chealsy Fry, Jacob Newman's dad, that one....two......three... no those four chicks in our latin class. Shall I go on?
