But Toni Collette is the bomb, too. That is all.

]]> <![CDATA[Hookers, Victims, & Doormats]]> @MeaniePants: She looks best with a little meat on her bones. There was one point where she looked a little too thin (and yes there is such a thing)and it aged her. Mind you, anything over size 4 is considered plus size.

]]> <![CDATA[Hookers, Victims, & Doormats]]> @skates: awwww man! I like DC and will defend her till the death! Call me a fangirl if you must, but I think she deserves every bit of the positive buzz she gets.
I think Toni could do wonderful things with a DC script. In any case, the show has been getting some good buzz so I'm withholding judgment till I see the Pilot.

]]> <![CDATA[Hookers, Victims, & Doormats]]> @distractedbyshinyobjects: Your fiance totally worked on 17 Again! And it's true, I imagine that in a toe-to-toe matchup, Zac Efron's people would cream Leslie Mann's people. Unless Seth Rogen's people came in with backup... that would be interesting.

I only learned to appreciate Leslie Mann's talents after seeing Drillbit Taylor, which she was awful in, and realizing how good she can be when given a good role by uh, her husband. Her roles are memorable, which is more than you can say for most parts for women in comedies these days.

]]> <![CDATA[Hookers, Victims, & Doormats]]> @Banana Grabber: Schlubby Judd Apatow married a shiksa goddess, and obviously part of the deal was that she gets a part in everything he does.

This isn't wrong per se, especially in Hollywood -- Clint Howard is a perfectly acceptable choice for the roles his brother puts him in, for example -- but it does rankle a bit when there are very few roles for funny ladies over 30, and many greater comediennes than Leslie Mann who could play those roles.

Eh.

]]> <![CDATA[Hookers, Victims, & Doormats]]> @jenndavo: Girl thought she was so much more important than another comedy actor in an upcoming movie - she called her husband (not even a producer on this film - totally not involved) and had him call the production office "treat her as she deserves" which meant being moved up from #3 to #2 on the call sheet (she would have gone for #1, but that was a particular teen heartthrob - no way her people could go toe to toe with his people and that's cute because he really has no idea that's true)

She routinely treats *everyone* on the set - including the director and other, much better actors - like her servants, and it's having an obvious effect on younger more impressionable actresses.

@GingerVitis: She owes her entire career to projects her husband has gotten for her. Lucky bitch.

@Banana Grabber: We'll have to agree to disagree. I tend to really hate over-the-top comedy that wasn't hilarious in the first place but goes on endlessly. To me - Jonah Hill was comic gold in that movie. Simple, understated, and lasted about one shot. That isn't a hard and fast rule, some people are geniuses at it. I just don't happen to think that she is.

]]> <![CDATA[Hookers, Victims, & Doormats]]> My great-uncle wrote the book "I love you philip morris", and Jim Carrey is the worst possible casting they could have done. But my gad I love Leslie Mann. Her role in the 40 year old virgin was probably too close to home for my late teen years, but hilarious nonetheless.

]]> <![CDATA[Hookers, Victims, & Doormats]]> I'm intrigued by the idea of Jon Krasinski and Maya Rudolph as a couple, I think they could have good chemistry together.

Toni Collete is awesome! I can't wait to see The United States of Tara.

]]> <![CDATA[Hookers, Victims, & Doormats]]> I like Leslie Mann but she's basically the comic version of Rebecca Pidgeon.

]]> <![CDATA[Hookers, Victims, & Doormats]]> Ok, I admit, I'm not that with it these days, but I'm confused, where are the hookers? Did one of these actresses or one of the links say something about hookers, and I'm just missing it somehow?

Seriously, you shouldn't tell people there are going to be hookers, and then not have hookers. And if you're gonna have hookers, shouldn't they be relatively easy to find? I mean, isn't that sorta the whole point of a hooker anyway? Why would you want to hide them? That's just cruel.

feathernotdot

]]> <![CDATA[Hookers, Victims, & Doormats]]> I think that the hooker, victim, and doormat rule doesn't apply in comedies. Women usually get cast in comedies as the unobtainable vixen, unobtainable tom-boy, unobtainable girl next door, and the sassy black woman.

BicSharpie

]]> <![CDATA[Hookers, Victims, & Doormats]]> @distractedbyshinyobjects: Leslie Mann's 3 minute scene in 40 Year Old Virgin is comedy gold from beginning to end. And it's ALL her. She brought the funny and she made it sing.

Your fiance may know some personal unpleasant side that makes her less appealing as a human being, but I absolutely think she "deserves" the career she has.

Banana Grabber

]]> <![CDATA[Hookers, Victims, & Doormats]]> @distractedbyshinyobjects: Well, unless marrying well counts as a "redeeming quality" ...

GingerVitis

]]> <![CDATA[Hookers, Victims, & Doormats]]> @Hamsterpants: weren't similar hijinks alluded to in "Me, Myself and Irene"? I suppose it was more butt-play than butt-sex, per se, but still. and now I have to go hide in shame for admitting to such detailed knowledge of Jim Carrey movies.

]]> <![CDATA[Hookers, Victims, & Doormats]]> Leslie Mann does not deserve the career she has.

As the fiancee of someone who has worked on *several* of her films, I am of the opinion that the woman has only one redeeming quality: she can ride a unicycle.
