High-definition TV exposes Hollywood's ugly truths

I love it when fake people are shown for the fakes they really are.

They are just entertainment and are supposed to be fake.
They are playing make-believe for heavens sake.

Diaz has said before in another interview that had she known the damage the sun does, she would have never been in it as much as she is.

"I want girls to realize that nobody looks like the women in the glossy photos without the help of a load of talented people," she recently confessed to Glamour magazine.

this is a false statement. there are millions and millions of beautiful women. it just ain't necessarily the hollywood women.

We got got HD and this is sooo true! I have been amazed at the flaws that I could never see before! It has been quite an education.

"this is a false statement. there are millions and millions of beautiful women. it just ain't necessarily the hollywood women.

I didn't want you to think your comment would go unappreciated.

It is as fine a comment as I have ever seen. And, very sweet, too.

This is what I said from the introduction of HDTV, which I first saw at an NAB convention in Dallas years ago. The picture they had up on it was a lovely still life of a bowl of glistening fruit. But I told the guys at the booth, "Nobody watches a bowl of fruit on TV. We watch things like Hugh Downs and Barbara Walters, and I sure as hell don't want to see that in razor sharp detail. There's a reason why they shoot Barbara through a piece of burlap dipped in Vaseline."

"had she known the damage the sun does"

The sun causes acne?

yitbos

hey. as far as i'm concerned women are what makes life bearable. at least for me that's the way it works. :-)

I have a great appreciation for Jamie Lee Curtis.

She was featured in a women's magazine in all of her glory...as a woman over forty. Her reasoning in doing this was that she wanted "normal" women to know that the aging process was alive and well in Hollyweird. She, in fact, has not had any "corrective" surgery.

She has aged, but she has aged beautifully.

"Faced with the horror of a sudden acne attack, Ms. Diaz reportedly skipped a premiere showing of Gangs of New York."

Gee, sounds like a very series problem.

It's nice to see a man who appreciates women...

and I hope you have a woman that appreciates you. ;o)

There's a reason why they shoot Barbara through a piece of burlap dipped in Vaseline."

Too funny.

We got got HD

I did too. I got a Mitsubishi 48 incher, with high definition VCR too. I can't wait till I get more and more channels in high def.

On Ms. Diaz, a regular on People magazine's list of the world's most beautiful, Mr. Swann writes, "the magazine's editors -- and most of the Western world -- do not have high-definition TV. If they did, they would see that Diaz's face is spotted with small pockmarks, the unfortunate consequence of a longtime acne problem.

Well yes and no. Today's standard computer monitors can handle the resolution of HDTV without a problem. By the way, some computer video cards are designed so that they can use an HDTV instead of a computer monitor if a person wanted to do that.

This is kind of ironic, everyone in the entertainment industry have been harping for more clearer television and when they get it that, they get a little more than they asked for.

"I want girls to realize that nobody looks like the women in the glossy photos without the help of a load of talented people," she recently confessed to Glamour magazine.

this is a false statement. there are millions and millions of beautiful women. it just ain't necessarily the hollywood women.

Uh, this is true and false. I've recently been enjoying the exquisite pleasure of escorting a young lady who does indeed have Hollywood-type looks, up close and personal in 3d as opposed to thru an airbrushed TV screen.

BUT, this level of appearance is exceedingly rare, I doubt there are millions and millions of such women are out there. Would that there were! (sigh)

So...where are the pictures of the skin in question?

She, in fact, has not had any "corrective" surgery.

Actually she has.

Jamie Lee Curtis has admitted having cosmetic surgery

They are just entertainment and are supposed to be fake. They are playing make-believe for heavens sake.

Oh give me a break! These people put themselves up on a pedastal and act like we barely have the right to breath the same air.

The most beautiful woman in the world to me is my crippled wife, and people like Cameron Diaz do not know what it's like to be honest and beautiful.

So don't act like you know where she is coming from, you show your ignorance when you do that.

He he he he he...

And just HOW much of that was a socially acceptable way to crow about your new HD toy?

Just curious. ;-)

Thank you for the correction. I was misinformed.

" Jamie Lee Curtis has admitted having cosmetic surgery - and said that it does not work."

She's still cool...;o)

Sage words, indeed
HAIL, HAIL RAGNAR!

damn man. there are more gorgous women in your town alone than in all of hollywood. you've been dupped...

By the way, some computer video cards are designed so that they can use an HDTV instead of a computer monitor if a person wanted to do that.

You're probably thinking of the DVI interface - most HDTV monitors already have a standard 15-pin VGA port attached, letting you use it as a computer monitor with any ordinary graphics card. But, of course, that's an analog link, versus the DVI port, which is digital all the way through...

LOL! It wasn't that at all! I was just replying to the thread, and it really is true! I didn't do my own vanity and say Hey, we got HD TV! This was just a public service confirming that the story was true! :-)

Looks like you could make a lot of money right now if you learn to do this airbrush makeup.

"The sun causes acne?"

No but I'm sure too much of it would damage the skin badly enough to prevent it from healing properly from acne problems.

damn man. there are more gorgous women in your town alone than in all of hollywood. you've been dupped...

Well yeah, this is true because "Hollywood" is a very small collection of women as opposed to a sample of millions in my city. But that doesn't mean that genuine Hollywood lookers are common! Maybe I'm just picky, but I figure I only meet a truly stunning woman once every couple of months, and I meet a lot of women.

Hollywood lookers came from your city and mine you dufus...

Where's quidam?

Hollywood lookers came from your city and mine you dufus...

Agreed :-)

hell if i know and damn if i care...

What, no pics?

OK. I believe you. Honest!!!!

*giggle*

I wonder how they made Doris Day's freckles go away in her old movies. They didn't have air-brushes.

I thought Jamie Lee had breast enhancement?

Well.....her bosum buddies sure look good.

Somebody, smack me for that. ;-)

If you want to see perfect women you should visit Imperial Valley and Mexicali.

I can't quite figure if you're being facetious or not...or you are just betraying a partiality towards latinas.

This HDTV technology is amazing! I saw a demo in a Sears electronics department and it just blew me away. Look up close...very close...so close that you would see the individual red green and blue dots on an old-fashioned TV: all you see is detail of the picture, as though it were film from a film projector.

It's very much like looking through a window and I can't wait for full rollout. As soon as I can get one of those babies for less than a grand, I'm there!

or you are just betraying a partiality towards latinas.

I guess I'm busted! LOL.

The "honest and ugly" photo shoot seems to be a growing trend right now. First Annie Lennox and now Jamie Lee Curtis.

I guess they think it makes them more respectable. Personally, I'd still prefer Hollywood's little white lies and see these women as gorgeous as they can be. I don't enjoy looking at a beautiful woman who makes herself look like a bag lady.

bump for later

HDTV Before and After

Before HDTV

After HDTV

Oh, Boy. We might want to reconsider this HDTV thing.

I returned a Pocket PC to our local CompUSA store Thursday. The place was quiet and they had StarWars II running on a Panasonic plasma screen. Unbelievable. I watched the last 45 minutes (all the best parts) from about 3 feet away.

I could really see every minute flaw in Yoda's complexion.

"company has applied makeup for Playboy, Mardi Gras, the Winter Olympics and the Super Bowl."

The players wear makeup? Guess I'll have to scratch football from my viewing list.

When Diaz said she admired the junior senator from the empire state she revealed her really ugly side.

I have LOOOOONG held a torch for Jamie Lee Curtis........insert deep growl here...............................

I live in Dallas and on ANY given day, one can go to a mall (especially the Galleria) or any other public place and see women with no or very little makeup... many are drop dead hot.

Hollywood women are made up dolls that can be quite scarry without their masks. I saw a website that capured photos of many starlets... in many cases, not very flattering.
