So I was just standing in the check-out line, waiting for my chance to pay for my two-hundred-and-fifty grams of cream cheese and a bag of discount teddy grahams, while I noticed Scarlett Johansson being really hot on the cover of one of those magazines with really hot people on the cover so that you buy it because you want to be hot like them and also buy all sorts of diet foods and healthy things in the grocery store to facilitate your metamorphosis into hotness, and I thought to myself, 'hey, shouldn't tommy have gotten into her pants by now?' and decided to check in on that.
So, status report on that one tommy?
My lifelong dream is to get in Scarlett's pants before Tommy.
the worst thing is that i honest to god think i can do it.
i'm absolutely convinced of it.
in fact, i want you to all remember me saying this when it happens a few years down the road.
-
Incidentally enough, I bought that magazine yesterday. Haven't read it yet. But I am interested to hear what Tommy has to say on this subject.
-
Has anyone heard her album? Its... not terrible. I wouldn't buy it, but we used to play it in the store every now and then.
-
Tommy, though Lunchy is a fine fine lady, Scarlett is that kind of girl I would have relations with if a) I could and b) I liked girls. So go for it anyways for
my our sake.
I don't know which magazine you were referring to, but she was on the cover of Paste magazine last month. Within was a decent interview with her and a pretty good compilation cd. (It wasn't her music. The magazine comes with a free cd every issue.)
-
She's also on the cover of Cosmopolitan, which is what I bought.
Also, I would probably go gay for Scarlett Johansson.
-
I would go gay because of Scarlett Johansson.
-
I love ladies and all, but Scarelett Johansson is just not hot. She pushes her boobs up way to much and they always look like they are dying. That's not hot. Plus, reading interviews with her makes me gag. I believe there was an interview with her in Rolling Stone a bit ago, when she released that Tom Waits album. She just seemed so full of herself.

Pardon me for butting in, but may I suggest Zooey Deschanel? She's a much more accomplished singer, doesn't dress like a tramp as often, and has way more indie cred than Scarlett.
-
Plus her eyes are amazing.
-
I like her a lot. Fine actress, amusing person and a good singer too.
She's a bit of an average singer (I liked the album but thought it was the production that really carried it) but otherwise that's pretty much right, and the fact that she's smoking hot is obviously a bonus.
-
Man.. I never saw anything that Scarlett Johansson wore that looked 'trampy'. I dunno, she could probably be in fishnets and pasties and I'd think she'd look classy.
-
I'll gladly concede that Scarlett looks classy or normal most of the time. It's just that on the occasions when she does put on fire-engine-red lipstick and push her boobs out like missile launchers, there tend to be more photographers around, and the pictures saturate the media. Maybe that happens less to Zooey just because she's slightly less popular.
-

This is my problem with her. If she would let her boobs be normal, and not try to kill them with very ill fitting clothing, I would probably at least think she is hot. But the fact that she isn't Scarlett Johansson, as much as Scarlett Johansson's boobs really bothers me. I just tire of seeing her engorged tits.
Does nybody remember that picture of her floating around the internet of her in that yellow dress?
-
I think she looks better when the photos aren't centered firmly on her tits. And I think that has to be blamed more on the photograhers than her.
-
i keep trying to see why everyone thinks scarlett is so hot but i just can't. i mean, she is not ugly... but i have definitely seen more striking women in every day life, and i can think of quite a few celebrities that i find better looking than her. i dunno, i guess blondes just aren't my type or something.
-
I have heard Scarlett described as a "classic beauty", which sort of makes sense. Her looks certainly fit in period films. Pretty sure she was in the typically awful De Palma movie The Black Dahlia, and she's going to be in The Spirit as well. She has that 50's pinup look, I guess. She'd look natural in a heavy sweater and torpedo brassiere, unlike most starlets these days.

i can't pick scarlet johanssen out of a crowd of aesthetically pleasing blondes and this is why she does not pique my interest.
-
Exactly, man!
-

It's....interesting. It was more electronic than I had antisipated (was sort of dreading that guitar-chanteuse on a stool thing). Her cover of "No One Knows I'm Gone" is pretty okay. I was surprised at how warm her voice actually was and that she did the right thing by going pretty drastically far from the source material in terms of the covers (for the most part).
And another vote for "not hot", or more fairly, "doen't do anyhting for me but is by no means ugly". Then again, my classic beauty is Maureen O'Hara and that's a lot to live up to.
-
HOT
-
Ever since she got her septum pierced she's been a lot more attractive to me.
-

See, I think I could. The same sort of magic that sets Bob Dylan apart from the rest of folk and The Thermals apart from the rest of punk for me is the same thing that sets Scarlett apart from blondes. I will not deny that she has been made to look bad (particularly, the Island, what the shit?) but she is pretty fricken amazing compared to most and blondes aren't my type. There is some innate magic within her that clearly identifies her as being slightly better than those around her.
Oh, also, I think a non-trivial part of her attraction is that she is drop-dead gorgeous without looking ridiculous or too hot to be real. Except when her boobs are pushed out.
-
I'm actually not usually attracted to blondes, but I think SJ is gorgeous is for that classic beauty she has and like someone said earlier, she's kind of got that 50s pin up vibe. I can't think of when she had her boobs pushed out, because I don't really see much of her outside of the movies I've seen her in or when there's an article about her in one of the few magazines I actually read. But I think anyone with pushed out boobs is unattractive because, well, there's more to a woman than boobs.
But seriously, her lips are awesome, even when they are fire engine red.
-
I bought that mildly pornographic magazine and I swear there was a spelling mistake.
-
I think SJ is gorgeous is for that classic beauty she has
LOVE SJ
In that elegant, classical way.
-
She is gorgeous and I would kill for her figure. Seriously. Look at her on the cover of Cosmo-

Also, hello. (http://www.scarlett-photos.com/albums/Magazines/2008/2008%2008%20Cosmopolitan/Cosmopolitan-August2008_004.jpg)
-
I like the fact they didn't air brush out her tattoo, that's super surprising because usually they do.
-
Lunchy isn't good enough for Tommy.
:'(
-
Who the fuck are all these people?
Seriously.
-
I don't know what the arguing is all about. Clearly, Lunchy is more attractive, and more fun than Scarlett.
-
I've never really seen the appeal of Scarlett Johanssen. She's not unattractive but she's kind of boring, if you ask me. Honestly, when I look at her it's like I'm looking at a perfectly good car that I sold to a stranger.
-
i used to think she was hotter when i thought of her as charlotte, from Lost in Translation and as the character from Ghost World, because i thought that's how she actually might have been. and then she started getting more popular and hollywood, now i dont think she's as hot - but i'd still wreck that.
-
I've actually never found SJ that hot in movies and such, actually...although this (http://www.timboucher.com/journal/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/scarlett_johansson_allure.jpg) is just..incredible. And her boobs obviously aren't being pushed up by anything there, and they're still pretty damned perfect. The fact that she has a fondness for Tom Waits makes her endearing to me as well. Still--not my kind of girl.
-
you guys are nuts. scarlett is absolutely gorgeous. admittedly i don't have a crush on her or any celebrity really since i've never been one of those people who is able to ogle other people without actually knowing them, but there is no denying that she looks really, really good.
-
She'd be a lot hotter if she was lying naked in my bed right now.
-
There's nothing wrong with admitting that you find a celebrity attractive. I know a lot of people try to subconsciously score personality points by suggesting otherwise but it's just as legit to find ScarJo attractive as it is to find that girl I keep running into at the pub cute and oh god where did i put her phone number
-
i can't pick scarlet johanssen out of a crowd of aesthetically pleasing blondes and this is why she does not pique my interest.
I am not sure if you're being serious or joking around, but this is pretty much true. There are plenty of attractive people in the world. Celebrities need something special to make you notice them, and I can't really see that with Scarlett.
-
Gee, I wonder how many times this argument has appeared on the internet.
Not saying I won't join, though. Personally, all of the pics of SJ posted here so far have pretty much dashed to pieces the image of her I genuinely had a crush on. Like, Lost in Translation. Or, that Bob Dylan video she was in[/i]. Really, I think it's much more of an attitude than a look: something that's captured a lot easier in video. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=DSXE5e4_C6A)
-
This is a good example of a picture where she looks incredible, and her attractiveness is not based soley on her tits.
(http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m457/plastic_cities/scarlett-johansson.jpg)
-
She's not exactly hiding them, though, is she?
-
She looks to me as though she's mildly confused in that photo, but I will agree it is a good glossy shot. If you don't consider legs spread wide open in a skirt to be trampy.
-
Would you rather she was wearing a turtleneck? Her right leg is more suggestive than her breasts are there.
-
Would you rather she was wearing a turtleneck?
Actually a figure-hugging turtleneck is one of the sexiest lady-garments on the planet.
-
Maybe my problem with Scarlett Johansson is that I'm a feminist. I'd rather not have women viewed solely as sex objects. I mean, if it weren't for her boobs, would we even be having this discussion? It's pisses me off that people care more about her tits than her.
-
She's been a good actress in some excellent films. That she's attractive is a bonus more than anything else.
-
Her hair looks she had a mildly retarded stylist in that last pic.
-
I love ladies and all, but Scarelett Johansson is just not hot. She pushes her boobs up way to much and they always look like they are dying. That's not hot.
Oh huh, I guess the main thing about her is if she is hot or not? Interesting!
Crazy! I didn't know that being a feminist meant I wasn't allowed to find other women attractive. Interesting, indeed. Maybe I just meant "Hey guys, I know you all find her attractive and whatnot, but I do not."
Plus, reading interviews with her makes me gag. I believe there was an interview with her in Rolling Stone a bit ago, when she released that Tom Waits album. She just seemed so full of herself.
Yeah, women in the media are dumb by default right?
What? What? Where do you even get that out of what I said? I never said she was dumb. I said she was full of herself. But you know, calling one woman full of herself automatically means that all women in media are dumb.
If she would let her boobs be normal, and not try to kill them with very ill fitting clothing, I would probably at least think she is hot. But the fact that she isn't Scarlett Johansson, as much as Scarlett Johansson's boobs really bothers me. I just tire of seeing her engorged tits.
If she dressed more to you liking, you would forget that she is "not hot" (apparently it matters) and stupid enough to "make (you) gag"?
Once again, where did I call her dumb? And yes, if she didn't seem to make her tits be the only reason we should pay attention to her, I'd probably like her more. I can't stand the "HERE ARE MY BOOBS! IS MY SHIRT TIGHT ENOUGH?? I CAN'T BREATHE. MY CHEST FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO EXPLODE" look.
And why am I being attacked for saying whether or not she is hot? Because I am a girl? Guys in this thread are saying it as well. But thats ok though, because they are men, and are allowed to only think with their sexual organs, whereas women should just be glad to have any man so much as look at her. Seriously, why am I not allowed to talk about whether or not someone is attractive?
I'd rather not have women viewed solely as sex objects.
That's interesting that you skipped all of my posts in this thread. Plus most other people's.
What?
I'm sorry, am I only allowed to form opinions based on what is being said on this board? Or is it in this thread strictly? Five people saying "Gee, Scarlett Johansson is a great actress, and a pretty good singer." doesn't outweigh the millions who careless of her acting career and more about her body.
I mean, if it weren't for her boobs, would we even be having this discussion? It's pisses me off that people care more about her tits than her.
Again, interesting. Let's have a look at earlier posts again -
She pushes her boobs up way to much and they always look like they are dying.
This was literally the first mention of her breasts in this thread. By you.
Just because I was the first to say it here doesn't mean I was the first to say it period. Typically, that is what discussions of her are centered on.
If she would let her boobs be normal, and not try to kill them with very ill fitting clothing, I would probably at least think she is hot.
So breasts are the deal breaker of whether a girl is "hot", huh? Interesting!
Hey, Tommy, how often do you just read into things? Often? I would say so based on just this one post!
If she would wear clothes that fit, not clothes that are too tight, I wouldn't have a problem with her. Plenty of other "hot" actresses do this. Do you see me complaining about them?
Does nybody remember that picture of her floating around the internet of her in that yellow dress?
You do.
I am not really sure of the need to comment on this. Maybe you can explain it better.
I just tire of seeing her engorged tits.
Wow, you're really on message about her breasts, aren't you?
Sorry, I spoke my opinion on something as trivial as some actress. I will be sure to keep shut about such things from now on. Anything else you'd rather I not speak up about? Anything else I should hide my feelings about? What else is my opinion wrong about?
I'm really quite outraged by the implication that this forum (and by association, me) must see her as a 'sex object'. Let's actually look at what I posted in this thread -
To be fair, she has a job and lifestyle that pretty much means she is expected to look a particular way and probably involves a lot of media types blowing smoke up her ass all day.
I don't blame her complicity because frankly, women have a limited amount of time to make serious money in the film industry. Sad but true.
So, that's a reference to the fact that she is expected to look a certain way to get a job in her chosen career path because women have a limited amount of time to have any real draw in the box office. Notice, no mention about her "engorged tits" or any reference to her as a "sex object" beyond identifying the sad truth that women are often judged on their appearance.
Rest assured if ScarJo was stood next to you in neutral lighting without a ton of face-cake, she'd look pretty good. You just have to look through all the trimmings to see a regular human being.
I can't think of any way to put that. It's an appeal to see a successful woman as a human being and not as her job or her looks.
Your personal opinion is fine but please don't throw around the word Feminist like that. It does nobody any good.
Hey, Tommy, do you remember when I accused you of treating her as a sex object? Do you? I don't. I remember saying that I dislike seeing women treated as such. Point out where I directly accused you of doing so, please.
Also, if it's because of her job that she has to dress so poorly, why not do something to change it? I am certain she has enough money/friends in high places that she could start a production company, and actually do something about how the world views Hollywood. Sure, it won't happen over night. But at least she(and other actresses) won't have to flash people to get good roles.
-
Right kids, let's keep it civil or I'm putting this baby to bed.
-
Oh hey, internet argument.
Awesome.
In Emaline's defense though, especially since that red dress SJ wore some place a while back she does seem to be Titsy McJuggsalot.
-
You dislike seeing women as sex objects but are referring to her as having engorged tits?
-
You dislike seeing women as sex objects but are referring to her as having engorged tits?
Because, typically in conversations you state an opinion about something, and then explain it further. I dislike her because I dislike seeing women treated as sex objects, like Scarlett Johansson does with her boobs. Make sense?
Or by repeatedly making reference to her physical appearance, only to decry such behaviour in others on the very next page.
Whatever, the point is made.
What point is made? That you can put a spin on whatever you want? Point out where I said "all women in media are dumb". Point out where I directly accused you of treating her like a sex object.
Also,
yellow dress. (http://peoriapundit.com/blogpeoria/wp-content/Scarlett_Johansson_yellow_dress.jpg)
Is it impossible for her to have a picture that is supposed to feature her face without her chest popping up into it? (http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2008/03/23-End/264369~Scarlett-Johansson-Posters.jpg)
Yes. Boobs are not what makes the girl. (http://cityrag.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/10/02/scarlett_johansson_boobs_2.jpg)
Anyway, I'm out. I have to work in the morning. Save your attacks for when I am back online.
-
Maybe my problem with Scarlett Johansson is that I'm a feminist.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Hey, Tommy, do you ever talk to people outside of this board? Or maybe read magazines? I do. And by golly, I most certainly have never seen anyone there treat her like a sex obeject.
(http://thesuperficial.com/2007/01/10/scarlett-johansson-pussycat-doll.jpg)
Nope. Never at all.
ETA:
But that's it. I am done with this argument. It is ridiculous. You are obviously never going to see my view, and I will never see yours. Here, I'll end it with this, and maybe that will cool your jets a little: I admit that my dislike for ScarJo is me projecting my distaste for how women in Hollywood are often treated. I admit that it is unfair to blame her. But she doesn't do much to help the image of women. Nor do the likes of Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, The Pussycat Dolls, Britney Spears, and numerous other women. And it's not just women who do this. Men do it to. But double standards and all that.
There. That is my attempt to end this at least vaguely civilly.
-
No one treats me as a sex object, D:
-
Oh please
Ali I totally treat you like a sex object all the time
-
We're supposed to explain why we lock threads and this is it. This thread wasn't going anywhere from the start except to jerk off everyone who felt proud of themselves for not being attracted to a celebrity and then turned into two people having it off at each other for the last page. I significantly doubt it was going to go anywhere good and frankly it had nothing but massive potential to go way, way worse.
It's been suggested to me that it's better to try and "undo" this. There's nothing to undo here in this thread since it was pretty fucked from about the third post forward. If you want to avoid threads going this way in the future, here are some thoughts.
1) Quote from other sources.
2) Post relevant links to related topics.
3) If you feel the need to Internet Argue with one another, please take it to a PM.
Thanks kids. Better luck next thread. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

This thread needs some extra-special soul lovin'. Here's Solomon Burke performing "Soul Train" - with bonus Wire! The final montage from Season 3, in fact. Umm, spoilers, I guess:
