ORIGINAL: Tangelo Oh dear, if your vision of 'smokin' hot' is Helen Mirren, then may I suggest a visit to your optometrist. . .?? What about Elizabeth Hurley, Jane Fonda, Jodie Foster, Salma Hayak, Madonna, Brooke Shields. .etc etc. Helen Mirren ???. . No, thank you . . . I've seen better looking chooks hanging in butchers' shops ! The eyes are just fine here, TVM. Yeah, I use glasses for reading now, but not for driving or movies. But I'm also not a dullwit male, never cared about the "boobs!" thing, etc. And yes, I see the irony there regarding Helen Mirren, coz she does have that. But because of her post-40s eyes and post-40s heart-melting smile, I just never got that far. All but two of whom you mentioned above are OK, but Modonna? Please. Not my cup of tea, safe to say, you're welcome to it. Rosanna Arquette absolutely stole the show in the movie Desperately Seeking Susan. Modonna looked like an extra shoved into a role by comparison. (Got any movie pics of Madonna in recent ten years? No?) Jodi Foster is a good mention, though, even though barely into her 50s. I'm not as much a fan as others of some of her movies, but for me two of them absolutely steal the deal; Maverick, and Inside Man. In the latter, watching Denzel Washington and Jodi Foster taking turns at 'scene stealing' and Clive Owen himself horning in on that process was a hoot, and definitely a classic, TY Spike Lee. What inspired the OP was in fact two (somewhat) recent movies; RED, and RED II. It was the most sweet and wonderfully endearing smile on Ms. Mirren's face that got to me, as she held a full-auto mini assault rifle on Bruce Willis upon his first entering her house, until she was sure he wasn't there to kill her. Given their profession, or that she could have been hired to kill him on another day, the apprehension was understandable. But yeah, that face, and the so sweet but perfect 'just-so-we-know-where-we-stand-' smile ... priceless. I'm not sure what the term "chooks" means where you are from, Tangelo, or at least not particularly your invocation of it to the purpose, but thanks to you, I have no interest in finding out. If you want to be a friend, don't explain it to me. If you want to improve society, don't explain it to anybody.
