384324, Halle Berry vs. Charlize Theron...objectively? no contest
Posted by Basaglia, Tue Jul-08-08 12:09 PM

both are pretty...both are talented...but, one is severely overrated and one is blatantly underrated.

the overrated one can't open a movie for shit and has never broken 40 mill without a big name male lead. the underrated one has...hmmmmmmm. edge: underrated chick

overrated let herself go and won an oscar. so did underrated. edge: even

overrated one looks every bit her age. underrated one looks younger than the overrated one. edge: underrated.

underrated has broken 100 mill 6 times. overrated one...just did it for the second time. edge: underrated.

underrated one can't keep a man. overrated one cuckolds a third tier actor, because she know he ain't going nowhere. edge: even

catwoman vs. aeon flux? let's go to the numbers....okay. edge: underrated.

debut film...jungle fever vs. children of the corn iii (uncredited at that)...edge: underrated

so, as you can see...halle better and more attractive and make better choices.
384332, Not sure how Charlize is overrated
Posted by SoulHonky, Tue Jul-08-08 12:29 PM
Looking at the numbers, Halle gets paid more than her time and again. Berry got 10 million for Perfect Stranger which was the most Charlize ever got paid (for Aeon Flux).

It's sad to see you hating on the African actress.
384792, i thought charlize was the underrated one

384346, overrated or not, charlize is a better actress
Posted by jahlove7, Tue Jul-08-08 01:38 PM
period.

looks take a look at "x-men".

halle couldn't keep an african accent, and went valley girl by the second one.

halle's a hottie, but let's be honest here, she won an oscar because she did a porno-style sex scene with billy bob.

and hollywood had been waiting to see halle nude for the longest time.

if anything, halle was smart for keeping her clothes on as long as she did.

Posted by Lyterall, Tue Jul-08-08 02:33 PM
Halle played a convincing crack head in Jungle Fever. And Charlie played a hell of a ugly woman in Monster. But, Halle has a bigger body of work and i want to work her body. So i go with Ms. Berry. Besides, Charlie was so convincing in Monster that i almost threw up. That b!tch was so damn ugly. I couldnt even finish the movie.

Frankly the way she looked in Monster is what charlie's got to look forward to in the future! lol

Halle will always look fabulous even if she lives to be 100!

And aint that the f#cking truth. Monster is the reason why i dont find Charlize and "Tuesday Adams" attractive. Or what ever that smutty girl from Black Snake Moan's name is. The actress ofcourse.

384515, charlize in hancock>>>>>>>>>>>either of the two at any point
Posted by Cold Truth, Tue Jul-08-08 11:02 PM
on a side note,

i was fortunate enough to get me a girl who was a reasonably close halle look alike, in most ways- body type, build, skin, hair, face, etc...and a voracious sexual appetite to boot. only physical flaw was the fucking nose man.

i have never had a white chick on charlize level though. few of the "type" (they are a dime a dozen here in so cal, after all) but not nice on that level, which to me is a 10.

so i suppose that experience, and lack of, respectively, leads me more towards chralize.

i still think her look in hancock was stunning.

384591, Normally I'd agree... but she was TERRIFIC and deserved the Oscar.
Posted by Frank Longo, Wed Jul-09-08 09:01 AM
It's one of the best performances by an actress I've seen in my lifetime.

The rest of this post I can get down with... but don't shit on Monster now.

384865, 19% at rotten tomatoes = masterpiece?
Posted by m, Thu Jul-10-08 05:16 AM
show me one top reviewer at rotten tomatoes that called it a masterpiece.

that's some funny shit right there.

when a movie loses 66% of it's business after an awful opening week (considering how much was spent on hyping the film), you're the only person across the u.s. that's calling "the happening" a masterpiece.

in comparison, the god awful 2007 masterpiece (by your standards) "norbit" grossed $35M it's opening weekend ($5M more than "the happening") and fell off less than 50% it's second week. it grossed $95M in theaters... and is widely thought of as eddie murphy's worst film... his performance in "norbit" costing him the only shot he'll ever have at an oscar.

2007 nominated raspberry for worst picture -- norbit.
2008 (soon to be nominated) raspberry for worst picture -- the happening.

lastly, i found it funny that eddie murphy not only one a razzie for "norbit" for worst actor, but he also won worst supporting actor and worst supporting actress.

m. night will surely win for worst screenplay and worst director.

then again, he'll be up against eddie again in "meet dave," so brian robbins will probably win worst director by default. maybe he'll be kind enough to share the award with your buddy.
384872, RT is like 40 people...thousands have called it a masterpiece
Posted by Basaglia, Thu Jul-10-08 07:02 AM
otoh, 25 people or so on RT loved grindhouse and millions of people thought it was a piece of shit.

L for you
384880, L for anyone that calls "the happening" a masterpiece.

in fact, it should be in your sig -- so everyone knows exactly how shitty your taste is in film.
384887, actually everyone doesn't know what kinda films i like

That movie sucked huge. But, if Halle wasnt looking so damn fine with that blonde hair and gold tooth. I would of had her grabbing her ankles.
