Things weren't looking too *tight* in ADTKF (just look at that belly!) Now, I know she looks better than the millions of other mom's in the world do, post birth, but she's in the movies. Her entire body should be tighter than a nuns as*hole. Wouldn't be surprised if we see her in less and less films until she disappears altogether.

I may be a bit charitable in wanting to believe that actresses can do better work than they have in the past, especially when they are usually cast in awful films. Yes, I don't think that the Jessica Chastains, Tilda Swintons and Jennifer Lawrences of the mpvie world have to worry too much about Jessica Alba stealing a future Oscar win from them, but I'd like to imagine that she might be capable of a little more with better directors despite her recent track record. It's great with movies like Sin City 1 & 2 to be able to support her work by buying them on Blu-ray when I have to avoid most of her movies, since too many of them are crap like The Love Guru which I will probably never subject myself to the torture of sitting through. I saw The Eye remake a while back and it was crap. The Killer Inside Me was a well-made film, but it was pretty brutal and I don't particularly want to see it again.

As for your other comments regarding her looks....
WOW, I had been missing Mad Men since it ended, but here you bring me back to that era with some old school misogyny regarding what a woman should look like. I'm not sure where this universe exists where all actresses under 40 are expected to look like some sort of 20 year old flawless porn star sculpted entirely out of CGI, but it is a delusion. Most of the young women arriving in Hollywood trying to make it probably wish their looks were 'fading' like hers. She may not be amongst your favorites, but as looks go she's undeniably a beautiful woman even after giving birth to a couple kids and creating a billion dollar business, which probably also cuts down on the possibility of her spending 5 hours a day in the gym. She also seems to be a genuinely decent human being, which can't exactly be said for everyone in Hollywood. I think you were more than merely a little unkind, especially in an entertainment landscape where there are lots of pseudo-celebrities much more deserving of such vitriol. We might see her in less and less films since she has a family and a business now, but I think it will still be awhile before Hollywood pulls its typical sexist crap and discards her or relegates her to playing grandmothers.

If you're agreeing with him that she's not a good actress, fine. If you're agreeing with all his misogynist crap fueled by a world where Photoshop and airbrushing feed into delusions of what a woman should look like...well, you'd be wrong.

Ummm, guess you missed the part where I pointed out she HAS TO LOOK EXTRA ATTRACTIVE because she ISN'T a good actress. Her looks are the ONLY reason she's in movies, period. So, if her looks are fading, and they definitely are, there is less and less reasons for her to be in a film, period. I don't make the rules of Hollywood, but that's how they work. I'm simply pointing out the obvious. As to your other comments, it must be hard being a 40 year old virgin?

I really hope some mod wonders in here and deletes this whole whatever you'd call it. It's actually hurting my eyes and brain to read.

another winner from nova, i think they are going a bit overkill with the use of holofoil as they are putting it on everything but i think this release looks fantastic.

[,deeii]

That looks incredible! I want this now!

[DJJez]

[,deeii]

Cool, thanks

So their checkout and shipping method is basically like Plain Archive and KimchiDVD?

This would've been perfect with spot gloss and soft touch UV coating (like the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 3D slip), that holofoil just doesn't look right on this.

yeh they didnt need to do it.

[Jude72]

I think must have brokered a deal for way more holofoil than they needed so they're throwing it on everything, LOL.

It does actually when you have it in hand, imo.
