I'll agree that the role seemed awkward.

That's a good summarization. And true, but Angelina played it a little awkwardly, wouldn't you say so?

Case and point of blonde stupidity, ironically:

pehaps but a much better looking foil sure as hell.

Also Angelina was pretty evil seeming in Alexander.

Brunettes are always seen as intelligent, dark and mysterious. It's all the media's fault we're considered evil or darker!

Case and point: Glinda and The Wicked Witch of the West.
Mufasa v. Scar in The Lion King.
Faith and Buffy.
Cagney and Lacey. Wink
Missy in Bring It On.

Hell, Eliza Dushku can't play a hero because she LOOKS too evil! (Which is why those FOX bastards cancelled Tru Calling.) Why do you think most classic Disney heroines and characters are blonde? (With the exceptions of Snow White, Belle and Ariel.)


Ah, but whose to say we aren't dark/evil? Hehe, just kidding. I do agree with you. In general I find dark hair more attractive, but I've fallen for blondes. I always kinda noticed that blondes tend to be the hero more, but I some of that totally went by me (Mufasa v. Scar) but makes sense when you point it out.

The blonde v. brunette intelligence thing hsa the same base as the "which gender is smarter" arguement. Blonde jokes are fun, but it really has more to do with the person then the hair color. My best friend was blonde and has gotten straight A's her whole life. Stereotypes suck.

Lol, but she wasn't evil. The only movie she was "evil" in was Girl, Interrupted. And oddly enough, she was blonde. Maaaaaybe Sky Captain. But she wasn't a villain. Just sort of a foil for Gwenyth Paltrow's character.

Angelina just breaks all the stereotypes. *Le sigh.*

this one girl wasnt blonde but one day in drivers education class we are talking about a car which is submerged in a lake and how to escape and like not to open the door, you roll down the window to get out and she says "what if the power windows dont work because you're under water" and teacher is like "break the window with your arm" and she is like "well no, i would just drive around with a hammer" and teacher is like "actually that wouldnt work because with water all around you, you cant build up enough force to break the window" then girl is like "well what if i'm wearing vintage heals, could that break the window?" and teacher is like "well last time i was wearing vintage heels, driving a car, crashed into and submerged in a lake, the heels wouldnt break the window" and she was jsut like "oh" like she believed him.

So therefore, not only blondes are stupid, they have to have this kind of attitude too.

You haven't lived up to your duties as AAA President... Where is Angelina in this list? NOWHERE!

Remember in "Life or Something Like It"... she was so unattractive.

one word: capitlization

i=incorrect when reffering to self

I=correct when reffering to self

so
"i went home on the bus today" is incorrect

"I went home on the bus today" is correct

I thinks brunette guys and girls are overall more attractive. But that's just a blonde's opinion. And nobody even thinks about the "attractive" backgrounds anymore, unless they're racist and just enjoy dissing people. Its either hot, or not hot, really.

Every recent poll conducted has found that people find brunettes more attractive. And they are. Just thought I'd point that out.


Yes brunettes rock!
