Agreed, Michelle Pfeiffer.
I like this tournament Ideal... I was thinking of doing one, since their was already one for the males but not the females (which I won't deny, the idea of a female tournament sounds a little more appealing, but that's just because I prefer to look at them more ;). Anyway, I'm glad you did it because I actually didn't feel like it, I just wanted one to be made.
Although I must say, Nooooooooooooo!!!! Where's NAOMI WATTS!? I want my NAOMI WATTS!!!
Sorry, but I just love her and I can't believe she's not in the tournament :(.
Oh well, my pick for the current match is the lovely and talented Michelle Pfeiffer. Oh, by the way, it also wouldn't have hurt to include Catherine Keener. But don't worry, there's a lot of actresses out there, so I can understand that you didn't remember to include them all. Although Naomi Watts seemed like an obvious one to me ;)...

Sharon Stone was great in BASIC INSTINCT, CASINO and THE MUSE... and I can think of only one real good performance by Halle Berry (MONTER'S BALL). On the other hand, Halle is a real hottie. However, I'm voting for SHARON STONE
P.S.: Ain't it ironic that one of Halle's first parts in a mainstream movie was a character called Sharon Stone (THE FLINTSTONES)? :D

I love Julianne Moore, she's beautiful, talented and doesn't scream for attention - i don't know anything about her private life, and i don't want to. Don't you find that the more (hehe moore - look at me punning) you know about an actor/actress the harder it is to find them believable on screen?
Ren Hoek
03-02-2003, 02:19 PM
Julianne Moore ...a beautiful woman and an exceptional actress
Damn it, why did these two have to go up against eachother? Well, I'd like to see them up against eachother, but not in this way :p...
Anyway, if I absolutely must choose, I will say JULIANNE MOORE. She's so beautiful, talented, and seems very down to earth. I think she'd be a real sweetheart, which makes me love her even more (haha, I made a pun too ;)). Some of the stories she tells on talk shows are so funny. She's just so charming. Man, I love this woman. How can you not love her? She seems so real and not at all fake...

I have a question Ideal:
For round 2, will the actresses be paired up in the order they won?
If that's the case, then this would be it so far:
Meg Ryan vs. Michelle Pfeiffer
Angela Bassett vs. Nicole Kidman
Halle Berry vs. Queen Latifah
Meryl Streep vs. Catherine Keener
If that's the order they will be paired up in, then so far I'll only have one real hard decision to make (Meg vs. Michelle :(). I just hope Naomi Watts doesn't go up against another actress I love, because I'm not very good at making tough decisions ;).

This game moves too fast! I've missed opportunities to vote for two of my faves (Susan and Julianne). Glad they both won...
I like Salma, a lot, but Diane is my age, and so I've had a jones for her for more years than I care to think about, plus she's quite good.
Diane Lane.

Diane Lane gave THE best performance of all of 2002 in UNFAITHFUL. She's incredibly beautiful and talented, there's no way to see otherwise. Her performance in UNFAITHFUL was simply breathtaking and I'm glad she's starting to get noticed more now. She is a great example of classic beauty. Just looking at her picture I can't help but be in awe, her beauty is timeless. I could look at a picture of her for a long time and never get tired of it, it's like looking at a mindblowing piece of art, like a painting. Now I'm not trying to sound psychotic or anything, I just think she's incredibly beautiful and flawless. Every line in her face is just perfect.
Diane Lane gets my vote for sure ;)...

Something about Diane Lane annoys me (not sure what) but she is the better actress (haven't seen Frida yet so i have to go from what i've seen Salma in). Salma is obviously much better looking but seeing as this is for the acting side of things, Diane gets my vote.

Her performance in the underrated CRAZY/BEAUTIFUL was simply wonderful and one of her best to date. Plus, the fact that she seems very nice and down to earth definitely helps and makes the whole package that much better.

I actually really like Hilary Swank though. I fell in love with her when she did The Next Karate Kid. And since then she has given some very good performances, like her great performance in Boys Don't Cry. I'm going to give my vote to the excellent Hilary Swank.

It's a close call, and I'd bugger either one with a high level of enjoyment, but Hillary's (apparently) a much nicer person and a somewhat (but not by a huge amount, CZ-J has good chops, as well as a great ass...) better actor.
http://www.ciudadfutura.com/elcriticon/hilaryswank7.jpg
Personally, I don't see how anyone could find Catherine Zeta-Jones more attractive than Hilary Swank. Zeta-Jones has a big face and is not very good looking at all. It wouldn't be so bad if she didn't seem like a bitch, but the fact that she does only makes her less attractive. I doubt I'd think she was attractive even if she was really nice, but I would at least like her more.

God, Hilary is a good actress, no doubt Mike, but she is ghastly skinny and looks like Matt Damon with longer hair and breasts.
She is too boyish looking for my tastes.
Catherine on the otherhand is the epitomy of a beautiful woman. She is curvy, sexy, and not a twig. She reminds me of what sexy was considered back in the 50's, a woman with curves, an hourglass figure....like Marilyn Monroe. (there we go Mike :))

I know she's really skinny, but it doesn't matter to me whether or not a woman is really skinny or is curvy, women can be sexy either way. I think Sarah Rue is a very good looking woman, and she certainly doesn't look like a twig. I just don't know what it is, but Zeta-Jones looks very un-attractive to me.
