Regarding 'Knocked Up', the link the thread starter provided makes it seem like her sexism words were overblown.. if not taken out of context entirely. iirc even her female co-star (wife of the writer) had agreed w/ her?!
Isn't accusing that movie of being sexist about as shocking as accusing Rambo of being violent?
I guess I just don't get the Heigl hate.

Considering the movie is about a man-child who, because of said woman, gives up most of the things that he enjoys, settles down, and gets a real job I find the claims of sexism a little....overblown.

I mean, the movie does everything to make Ben an unlikeable asshole short of having him take one of the children and smack them in the head.

Thought he was hot shit because he'd been interviewed on one of the local radio stations earlier that day. Bitched about the acoustics in the cafe, the lack of monitors, ect. I mean, c'mon man, you're playing at fucking Borders. Deal.

Just the general douche-type behavior of someone who thinks that they're way better than they actually are.

yeah, I hear Bono and The Edge as well as Mick and Keith do the same thing, when they perform at Borders.

I must be the only one in the world who finds Heigl really dull looking. Don't get me wrong, she's a pretty enough girl, but you can see loads of women who look just like her simply be walking down the street. She's nothing particularly special...

No, you're not the only one. For a 'leading lady', she's not THAT attractive, imo.

Now, I will admit she's probably 10 stratospheres above my league, but that's not the point.

Bitching about acoustics and monitors is how you know they are musicians.

[Starlord]

I don't find her that attractive for a woman, and she kind of reminds me of my sister. She just gives off that feeling that she's so much better than everyone.

Don't put crap like that on Lifetime interrupting Chaps' "stories".

For me personally, the best part is hearing everything in Fry's voice!

my wife watches Golden Girls and Frazier on that hellpit of a channel. as such, sometimes i catch commercials for their programming. even that makes me feel emasculated.

[False Prophet]

Doesn't matter to me. She keeps getting hotter every time I see her.

[diana_fan]

I don't get it.

Who cares? Am I missing something?

oh c'mon, no one is out of your league... well, maybe hawk
