Help! Battle of the Ingenues

[VonEerie999]

Greetings to all...
I need some assistance here.I am currently working on a project for school,actually,a paper(and a real mind-fuck,at that),which deals with the public perceptions of 5 actresses.
I chose 5 female thespians,all under the age of 25,who I propose will be THE ones to watch over the next decade.The paper will address how the movie-going communities opinions of them may influence the roles they are offered,the roles they take,the box-office performance of their movies,and whether or not they will be perceived as "Hollywood Starlets",or,"Serious Actresses".The five I chose are:Thora Birch,Kirsten Dunst,Katie Holmes,Natalie Portman,Christina Ricci.I chose these five for their youth(all teens,except for Katie Holmes),and because I think they are the five young actresses that best fit the criteria for my thesis.
I have surveyed quite a few people already,but I am about a dozen short of the 100 responses I need to put forth a fair,and accurate,judgement.So,I turn to you folks...you know your stuff,and are opinionated.There are 10 categories,and the girls need to be rated 1-5.If you do not feel like answering all 10,that's OK,but It would be cool if some of you took the time.Please rank them 1 through 5, 1 being the strongest in the category,5 being the weakest.For example,in acting ability,I rank Thora Borch number 1 (strongest),and Katie Holmes number 5 (weakest).
These are the 10 categories,and how I personally rank the actresses.
Acting Ability:
1)Birch 2)Ricci 3)Portman 4)Dunst 5)Holmes
Body of Work:
1)Ricci 2)Dunst 3)Portman 4)Birch 5)Holmes
Facial Beauty:
1)Portman 2)Birch 3)Holmes 4)Dunst 5)Ricci
Screen Presence:
1)Ricci 2)Portman 3)Birch 4)Holmes 5)Dunst
Body:
1)Birch 2)Ricci 3)Dunst 4)Holmes 5)Portman
Future Box-Office Potential:
1)Holmes 2)Portman 3)Dunst 4)Ricci 5)Birch
Like-ability(cuteness factor)
1)Portman 2)Dunst 3)Holmes 4)Ricci 5)Birch
Likely to win Oscar by age 30:
1)Birch 2)Portman 3)Ricci 4)Dunst 5)Holmes
"Hollywood Starlet" potential:
1)Dunst 2)Holmes 3)Portman 4)Ricci 5)Birch
"Serious Actress" potential
1)Birch 2)Portman 3)Ricci 4)Holmes 5)Dunst

I know this may be a bit tedious to fill out,but your time is greatly appreciated.I look forward to your feedback and opinions,as I will look to include them in my paper.Thank you all very much...

PS-Rather than ask "Where is 'so and so'?She should be on the list"...just understand that it is my grade,my project,my paper,my thesis...therefore,my selections.I don't mean to sound rude,but I figured I would circumvent the inevitable.I know you are all familiar with these girls,and their work, so,please do participate.Thanks again...

Geez,it's really lame to be replying to my own post,but I am completing this paper,and I still need some more input.I was hoping for a few more responses from you guys,'cause I see that you all know your "shit".I am finishing up on Friday,so I look forward to more opinions.
Thanks to Brock,The Rock,and you especially,Lou Lou(What's up?).
Give me a hand here,and I'll buy all respondants MANY beers if you're ever in NYC...Cheers...

P.S. Hey Von, I live in Jersey so when are you handing out the beer? /ubb/smile.gif

[LOU LOU]

Yea Von, you better live up to that beer offer. I go to NYC all the time, you better pay up! /ubb/smile.gif

[VonEerie999]

loner...
So,you live in Jersey? My condolences...
Q:Why did they build a tunnel between New York and New Jersey?

A:So people from New York won't be seen going INTO New Jersey...hehee

j/k...I am actually shooting parts of my Student Film in Hoboken,Downtown Jersey City and Weehawken.I have a few friends from school who live over there.It's pretty cool hanging out at some of the clubs:Loop Lounge in Passaic,Aldo's in Lyndhurst,Maxwells in Hoboken,The Pipeline in Newark...shit,I'll hook you up with a few brews,no prob...

And to you,Lou Lou,I can only say...when are you in NYC? You say you come here often,is it for shows?School?Just to visit?
I do catch a lot of Punk and Goth shows here.I just saw Nick Cave last week,he was tremendous,as usual.As a matter of fact,I have been in any number of bands that have played CBGB's,ABC No Rio,the Wetlands,Lismar Lounge,etc. I have had to put the music on the back burner here for awhile,as I am finalizing my pre-production work for my film.
I am always one to honor my debts...perhaps some Heinekens at Siberia...Rolling Rocks at 9C...Perfect pints of Guiness at Puck Fair...Pabst Blue Ribbon at Mars Bar...Beck's at the Raven Cafe...

[LOU LOU]

Hey Von, how did you're paper end up coming out? That sucks that not many people helped, but hope it came out nonetheless. Are you doing this for your thesis. I lived in NY last year and now I live in Boston, but I still try to get to NY every couple of months to visit friends. I have yet to go to CBGB's, that the club I really wanted to go to, but didnt get a chance. I'll take you up on your offer for some Heinekens /ubb/smile.gif

L.L

[VonEerie999]

Lou Lou,

I actually caught a reprieve on the paper.My thoughts for this thesis were already formed in my head,I just wanted some "scientific" data(the poll)to back up my hypothesis.I actually found a few of my thoughts exploded by the responses,and I will disclose the findings here once I finalize the project.Should be 'bout another week.So,there is still time to join in,fellow Schmoes...
You were in NYC,you dig punk shows,but you never hit CBGB? That's like being an art afficionado in Paris,and missing the Louvre.
Spring and summer bring out some of the rawest NYC talent to the various clubs and dives I frequent,so this is a fertile time,musically,coming up.It'd be cool to meet up,hang out,grab some Heinekens...catch the shows,the madness.
Where were you living in NYC? I get up to Boston a few times a year,as my brother lives in Woburn.I also visit Salem at least once a year.
Did you ever hit the Tattoo convention
here? It is held in The Roseland Ballroom,and I filmed a great deal of it last year.It usually takes place in mid-May,so...perhaps you will be checking this out? Give me a heads up when you are coming on down.It would be so very...

[LOU LOU]

Ok this sucks, I was just finishing my post to you and I got kicked off cuz my phone rang..errrg...let me start over :)

Ahhh..you visit Salem? I always go there, its like 10 min away from my hometown. I worked at a witch themed cafe throughout high school. I still have buddies from there. Do you ever go to Front Street coffee house, The Bleacher's Bar, or The Red Room? My friend's punk band plays there, they were called Riding Elmo and are now called Moving Like Buildings. I am not far away from Woburn, they have a kickass theater :)
Last year I went to Hofstra U. in Long Island, not too far away from NYC, I used to drive in all the time. I still have buddies in NYC and Brooklyn. The reason why I never went to CBGBs is b/c I am not 21...still got 9 months left, but I have a fake now. What days are the tattoo convention, I have always wanted to go. I only have 2 now on my arm, and I am getting a third in June, how many do you have? There's nothing better than tattoos. I just like spacing mine out. I wanna get one a year. So tell me when the dates are, my roomie and I were planning to go to NYC soon.
P.S. You got any piercings?

[VonEerie999]

Homer...you've not seen "American Beauty"? DOH!!!
See it,Homer..it'll blow your mind...as will Thora's performance.
This is a notice to all who may visit this thread...Thora has two flicks coming out "Ghost World" and "The Hole",and I assure you all that she is going to fucking explode the screen in these two features.They are her vehicles,and I know she will be intensely kick ass.This girl is the goods...wow...

Lou Lou...
I will check on the dates for the convention,there hasn't been anything solidified yet.As soon as I hear,I'll let ya know.I have twelve tattoos,and various piercings...what are the tattoos you have?
My time in Salem is always well spent ...I stay at the Suzannah Flynt House,and do some shopping at the Antechamber,Crow Haven Corner,etc. I visited a few of the places you mentioned...I got really smashed the last time up there on Wharf Rats at the Junction Cafe.Always a cool trip.
You said you have friends in Brooklyn...you wouldn't be speaking of Williamsburg,would you? I lived there for a bit before it became all "trendy".It's still ok,but it's getting real pretentious there.

VonEerie999
She rides...

[LOU LOU]

Hey Von....what a trip you hang out @ Crow's Haven, that's right next door to wear I used to work. I used to make lunch for Loralei all the time /ubb/smile.gif No my buddies in Brooklyn are not in Williamsburg. Have you ever been to Bourbon Street Bar on Flatbush? That's where I always go when I am there...
Wow, twelve tattoos...I am only getting my third one in June. I have been getting one a year since I was 18 and that's what I probably will stick to. My tattoos are on my biceps and this new one will be on my right shoulder blade. Where are yours? And I am curious to hear what kinda piercings you got. In the past I have had belly, nose, and nipples but now I just have my nipples done. Talk to you soon /ubb/smile.gif

P.S. Maybe it would be easier to talk thru emails...

[VonEerie999]

LOU LOU,

Regarding your PS...definitely.My e-mail adress is in my profile.

To the other Schmoes...give an opinion for my paper...let's hear from you...

VonE

[Brock Landers]
