RACHEL MCADAMS: Y

I kind of hate Rob Schneider in general but I have a guilty fondness for The Hot Chick.

faris and mcadams are funny -- you can't front on that.

Haven't seen any of them and never heard of him, sorry.

you need a picture

she was in mean girls? good god, my brain is deteriorating quicker than i thght. :-(

This should be picture thread. For my Red Eyes.

That'd not be the only thing which is red when looking at Rachel. She's yummilicious

this is a disgrace

every single one of those movies costar a person (or sometimes MANY persons) more worthy of polls than boring mcteethface. i regret starting this poll fad.

it's gotten out of hand when we're doing RACHAEL MCADAMS polls over, i dunno, lindsay lohan or owen wilson or vince vaughn or christopher walken or even luke wilson or sarah jessica parker polls, just to name MANY of her more worthy costars. ;_1

She looks better as a blonde with fucked-up eye make-up than she did as a clean brunette, but basically she's unoffensively pretty in a "good breeding" kind of way that is almost totally uninteresting.

Is there a person in there? It's hard to believe.

I'm cranky today, I don't want to be at work dressed as little like an office drone as possible but still uncomfortable.

I was hating on her too until "Mean Girls" when she started freakin' ruling. Saw a bit of "The Family Stone" on HBO and it didn't look very good...but she seemed like she was pretty good there too. So I've been converted, although I never saw most of her movies and wouldn't actually seek out a film just acause of her.

Her forehead frightens me.

Mean Girls is her best movie and her best performance, but I don't like her as a blonde, so I'm voting for the movie she looked best in, The Family Stone.

Yeah... the Dino Jr. shirt...

The Notebook and The Family Stone are both movies I might've never watched if it weren't for bored Sunday afternoons at my parents' house watching their cable tv, but I thought she was incredible in both. I haven't seen the Hot Chick and don't know if I ever intend to. I'm torn between voting for the one which I found her best in (probably The Family Stone) vs the movie I actually enjoyed the most and will watch again (Mean Girls).

for that one guy & aib

she's so purrrty

Forget Heath Ledger, she should play the Joker in the new Batman movie.

wait is she the one dating marilyn manson or is that some other young pretty boring girl with no distinguishing characteristics?

That second picture isn't Reese Witherspoon as June Carter Cash in Walk The Line?

She's not really a "young girl". She's 30.

Evan Rachel Wood is the one dating Manson.

Nath, your brain isn't deterioriating. It's just that Rachel McAdams has something I've just now decided to call TOFUFACE: her face doesn't look like anything on its own, and just takes on the flavor of however you make it up and do the hair. She's this great doll-like blank and I never recognize her because she doesn't look like ANYTHING. Seriously creeps me out. And her personality seems the same! I guess maybe that's good, for an actor -- she's, like, adaptable -- but it's also bad, because it makes her seem creepy and empty and made-of-tofu.

That theory makes sense to the degree that she's unrecognizable in Mean Girls (and that could probably be mostly chalked up to seeing that a year or two before seeing any of her other movies), but really she has too many distinguishing characteristics (mainly the freakishly wide mouth) for that to actually be true.

freakishly wide mouth, freakishly large forehead, and really, freakishly large eyes

I don't think a fivehead is attractive per se, but I can't think of any time it's turned me off of an otherwise attractive woman. Although now that I think about, maybe I do have a fivehead fetish (hello Tyra Banks, Helen Hunt, Christina Ricci, Tofuface McAdams, etc.).

Those are all characteristics of DOLLS, not humans!

(Anne Hathaway is exempt from the above.)

Anne Hathaway's secret unibrow shame absolves her from doll-ness (or maybe it's Emmy Rossum that's got the caterpillars?)

TOFUFACE

I should lighten up on that, actually -- per a google image search, I am beginning to be able to recognize her and place her as a person. But it's still creepy that I could see her in several movies and still have trouble with this.

Well, to be fair, in one movie she was the leader of a group of girls known as "the plastics," and she was the title character in "The Hot Chick," so those roles probably helped cultivate a generic pretty girl vibe, although I think there are way better examples of generic pretty girls in the current crop of Hollywood starlets.

wait, in which way is her mouth or eyes "freakishly large"

She's really good in the first season of Canuck melodrama Slings & Arrows.

the eyes look big to me, debateable
but look at that Joker mouth, smear some lipstick on her and she's Ledger's stunt double

uhhhhh

she looks normal to me, dude

http://www.bigredhair.com/portfolio/illustration/joker.sm

no i kind of see it

We said that her mouth is "freakishly wide," not large.

Rachel McAdams looks a little like Denise Richards' equally-pretty sister.

Although not as distractingly so as the aforementioned Anne Hathaway.

(xpost "equally-pretty" as Denise Richards? OOH BURN.)

ok in what universe are wide and large not synonyms

srsly ppl

i didn't think you guys meant she was a pro at deep throating or something

I don't know if DR got not-hot or if I stopped being a teenager interested in DR.

"my god, her mouth is CAVERNOUS"

denise richards isn't pretty at all, and also she has no idea how to handle her dogs which resulted in a hilarious episode of the dog whisperer with cesar milan.

But make a McAdams-in-peril thriller like Red Eye and it's like eh, what am we supposed to be scared about, she barely exists to begin with.

WHAT AM WE

I think brainy is a nicer way of saying fivehead, nabisco

I don't know about scars and bad dental work, but I like people who look like...well, PEOPLE. With pasts and bad days and some smile lines, that kind of thing. With people I really enjoy it's like the imperfection is the thing that makes you able to look at them directly instead of trying to stare into the sun. RMcA is sort of just not that bright to begin with.

the i want candy montage is like the best part of marie antoinette of which i am admittedly not a fan

man if foreheads were the same as brains, Alexis Bledel would create cold fusion, Jena Malone would cure cancer, and the whole horn of Africa would have telekinetic powers

But make a McAdams-in-peril thriller like Red Eye and it's like eh, what am we supposed to be scared about, she barely exists to begin with.

damn mcadams and her generic writing-and-directing skills, god damn her all to hell!

yeah well that's kind of my point! oh another entrancing tall blonde, you don't say? also brainy, a little? pshaw! i want some scars and bad dental work and shit, next!

She's like, 5'5", bro. No joek.

What does that even mean? I'm saying she makes a really poor person-in-peril choice for me, because she doesn't actually seem like much of a person.

even brian cox didn't seem like a person in that film.

i don't really get the "blank" argument... i don't think she's totally blank, empty, a canvas, whatever. it's not every person who can turn on the cheery blond with attitude appeal. i certainly can't and most people i know can't, so when i see that, i regard it as something special, not as a meaningless canvas.

i don't know if that's the scene i'm talking about, i think it is, but yeah that marie antoinette scene where they have the screens of different scrumptious sweets just did NOT work for me. the rest of the filmography was so elegant, it felt ridiculous.

she actually reminds me a little bit of amber valetta, she's like amber valetta c rossed with parker posey

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

boooo results. Red Eye was kinda OK, but it should not be above The Family Stone and Wedding Crashers.

wait what does that mean, did u want mean girls to win

well, like I said above, Mean Girls is by far her best movie and best performance, and it was pretty much always gonna win this poll, I just take issue with the order of the runner-ups.

Nabisco, you are making absolutely no sense here.

"She doesn't strike me as the type of person I would be interested in either physically or mentally" != "LOL SHE IS A MANNEQUIN WITH NO BRAINS"

Of those, Mean Girls is the best film, but my favorite McAdams performance was in the Family Stone. She was hot and awesome in it...

*masturbates sadly

wow

TOFUFACE

she's hella good in Slings and Arrows.

man i've had that show on the my netflix queue for the longest time

State of Play is a steaming shitpile, haven't seen her in anything else

xpost It starts kind of slow (in each of the seasons) but picks up quickly and gets pretty awesome by the end.

she's drippy and dull in Time Traveler's Wife, but I don't think that's entirely her fault. Sherlock Holmes looks like a worst-film-of-the-year contender.

Can I confess that I kind of want to see The Vow? NB: I never saw The Notebook.

btw it's Rachel McSmashems and she is way cuet

where is that .gif of her with the butt from that movie no one saw

I think it was in last year's WS iirc.

she is way cuet

Je suis entièrement d'accord

NSFW!!!!

DAT ASS makes a prominent appearance in one of the tv trailers for The Vow

Ah, crap - sorry! :(

u wouldnt expect dat ass to be on rachel mcadams but there it is boom

wauuuuuu

I think I saw that in the past but it burned so brightly in my memory that I forgot it

Bladow

I kind of feel like that is why the animated gif was invented.

(No biggie, E!)

i think in Mean Girls when Regina ate those nutrition bars and put on weight, they didn't pad her ass, that was just the one scene with the real McAdams ass in it

I like her ass. I like her even better.

^^ opening couplet of a classic pop song

huh, that looks kinda fun

She was very good in True Detective season 2.

She's been good for a long time. Should've gotten an Oscar nom in 2023.

For what? Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, or Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret? I didn't see either.
