Come on, admit it, you fancy her. You want to cuddle her. You want to have her babies. Me? I'd rather eat my own vomit. Still ordered her biography. I want to found out what she did with Billy Idol.

FIND FIND FIND.

― nathalie (nathalie), Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

She's allright, sort of between classic and dud. But that asymmetrical thing she does with her mouth is quite irritating. So babies: no. Cuddle: sure :)

― Omar, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I love people who do asymmetrical things with their mouths! That's my thing.

But generally, I'd prefer Christina Ricci.

― Nick, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Somebody once proposed an immutable law of celebrity-fancying, which was that all men who don't usually fancy celebrities fancy Christina Ricci. I dont know what Nick thinks of celebrities, but I fancy Christina Ricci. Mind you I also fancy Drew Barrymore.

― Tom, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I always get confused between Drew Barrymore, Christina Ricci and Courtney Walsh.

Tom, I've told you all before who my celebrity crushes are. I assumed you were taking in everything I ever said.

― Nick, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Don't know answer re D.Barrymore, Nathalie, but B.Idol did tell a grate FISTING story in R.Stone at time of release of Cyberpunk (is that right title?): well, not story exactly, just that one time he was fisting some willing rock chiXoR, and afterwards his hand SWELLED UP TO ENORMOUS THROBBING SIZE. Erm, I am telling this story why? Is it helping me write my book? Is it gaining me frendz and influence? I am siXoR.

― mark s, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Far as [oft. disappointing] celeb Playboy shoots go, Drew's wuz v. good: "fun" photos & not shy w/ the bush. Not that I — ahem — did anything to cause Tom-style "water damage" to the pics; have never found Drew's alleged "cuteness" esp. alluring. And her moovees, few I've seen, erm, s'pose Charlie's Angels was [...striving for compliment...] okayish. Ricci = rowr.

― AP, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes, I thought she looked a bit dumpy in Charlie's Angels next to Cameron Diaz. Not that I've seen it.

― Nick, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nick: "I always get confused between Drew Barrymore, Christina Ricci and Courtney Walsh."

Is that because you've only viewed them from the "pavilion end"? (Sorry, I'll get me coat...)

― AP, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Anyone who starts off with E.T and ends up with Tom Green is surely going wrong somewhere.

― Martin, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I bet she became infatuated with Tompy after she saw him on telly sucking on that cow-nipple.

― nathalie (nathalie), Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Drew Barrymore has a stupid face. And has the same surname as Michael Barrymore.

― DG, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yeh, well, i can live with that

― gareth, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tom Greene is annoying and only mildy amusing

― Mike Hanle y, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Gorgeous.

― the pinefox, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The pinefox fancies everyone who is famous, so his response should be disregarded.

― Nick, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nonsense. I quite fancy you, for a start.

― the pinefox, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pinefox, you show a woeful ignorance of propositional logic.

― Nick, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

overheard in art class around the time when 'charlies angels' premiered:

'yeah they totally fucked up the old show when they made it into a movie...like, drew barrymore, she's not even hot at all, she's fat. they should have put farrah fawcett in it, she was fucking hot'

of course this triggered the already somewhat-latent 'quite fanciable' opinion of ms.barrymore. everyone i know finds her insufferable though, so it's usually not something i mention. honestly though, i find her pleasant enough.

― ethan, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh, and the fact that pinefox thinks her 'gorgeous' is certainly a plus. i feel so aristocratic fancying the same woman as him.

― ethan, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

as an 8 yr old snorting coke on the set of et - classic, as a hanger onto courtney/dave letterman - so fucking dull she is beyond dud.

― Geoff, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Drew Barrymore is horrible, she should go back to being a crackwhore.

― Ally, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

She hasn't got any songs written about her (to my knowledge), she has a good singable name...some Blink 182esque band should write about her. I think she was good in Never Been Kissed.

― jel, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Classic: Because she was able to overcome her alcohol and drug abuse problem and is not currently in jail, dead or touring shopping malls.

Dud: Well, let’s admit she has made a few duds, the irritating Wedding Singer being one. But she was good in Never Been Kissed, and her appearance in Scream was FAB.

I think she’s prone to give great performances, but the movies she’s in are always less then stellar script wise.

― JC, Wednesday, 8 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mark S: "one time he was fisting some willing rock chiXoR"

People who fist: you've got to hand it to them. (Plop!)

― AP, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My opinions w/r/t NBK and Wedding Singer are the opposite. NBK was navel-gazing feel good crap that sucked the lifeblood from teen fliks. It was a self-help-section of a bookstore all in itself. Wedding Singer, on the other hand, had adam motherfucking sandler, and not in the bad-annoying or even funny-annoying sort of way, but in a truly sweet goofy persona that was nearly made for him. Or actually, probably WAS made (i.e. written) for him.

― Sterling Clover, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I kind of agree with that. Wedding Singer had more things going for it than the OK NBK did.

― the pinefox, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think Drew Barrymore has done a remarkable job of creating and shaping a career for herself. Not a great actress she is an excellent star - and the very hands on production of Charlies Angels showed she knows exactly what the kids want. It was Drew that said NO GUNS - which made the whole thing much more exciting and cartoony.

I also thought Ever After was a fantastic femenist redux of Cinderella. Unlike - say - Jerry Lewis's Cinderfella (I give Eddie Murphy two years on that one). But do I see Barrymore as Barberella? Hmmm.

― Pete, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pinefox admitting that NKB was "OK" disrupts my worldview in a profound and serious manner.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

!= 'admitting'. Use other verbs please! Stating! Opining! Opinefoxing!

― the pinefox, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Christina Ricci has long been my biggest celebrity crush, and I can never think of many others who I like. So perhaps Tom's theory is correct. Drew is pretty cute though. Better than Diaz, anyway. Not sure about her films, but we can't have everything now.

― Ally C, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

1."Opinefoxing"- this week's version of something else we say a lot. 2. Also, my "profound and serious" was something of a tautology, no? Just "profound" would've done the job. 3. Reading the Anniversary thread- I find it mind-boggling that you are completely unfamiliar with the "sitting in a tree" taunt. (Unless this was subtle self-jest).

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Tuesday, 21 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I know you waz aving a laff, like. So woz I. Now -

>>> you are completely unfamiliar with the "sitting in a tree" taunt. (Unless this was subtle self-jest).

No, no jest. Yes, completely unfamiliar. It means - ??

― the pinefox, Wednesday, 22 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It means you are a strange man.

― Ally C, Wednesday, 22 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

seven years pass...

Directed by Drew Barrymore ?!?

― velko, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 06:50 (sixteen years ago)

I've seen trailers that give away the whole plot before, but I don't know if I've seen one before this that actually showed climactic moments like when the quiet parent finally tells the overbearing parent to step down.

― da croupier, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 07:01 (sixteen years ago)

Also, post-drug Drew Barrymore is a total dud. An Alicia Silverstone that made better career choices but never scored a Clueless.

― (*ﾟーﾟ)θ L(。･＿･)　　　°~ヾ(･ε･ *) (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 07:23 (sixteen years ago)

OMG I was wondering if at one point I had liked her. Then I noticed I started the thread and hated her then as much as I do now. So uh yeah I am avoiding her film as the plague.

― Nathalie (stevienixed), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 07:27 (sixteen years ago)

I do have to admit I lurve Wedding Singer. Shoot me! I like myself a bit of Adam S from time to time. Like this and that PDL film. Then I have enough for another three decades.

― Nathalie (stevienixed), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 07:29 (sixteen years ago)

Even if I normally hate this kind of biopic performance, I thought she was ok as the Beale daughter in HBO's Grey Garden.

― J4mi3 H4rl3y (Snowballing), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 07:30 (sixteen years ago)

^ Yeah, same and I generally don't think she can act at all. I do feel like she'd be really nice and pretty fun to hang out with though.

― ENBB, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 13:28 (sixteen years ago)

Have any of you guys seen My Date With Drew, where a dorky guy basically stalks her for the purposes of making a documentary? She seems like a really good sport at the end of that when the guy gets to meet her and go out on a date with her, rather than just getting a restraining order like most folk would do.

― ailsa, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 13:29 (sixteen years ago)

I have and maybe that's why I feel like I do about her. She just seems pretty down to Earth and genuine.

― ENBB, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 13:31 (sixteen years ago)

i love that you capitalized Earth

i just find her gorgeous

― I love rainbow cookies (surm), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 13:33 (sixteen years ago)

and i'm probably making it up but i feel like she's a gay rights activist

― I love rainbow cookies (surm), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 13:34 (sixteen years ago)

I don't know why I did that. I also stared at it wondering if it was spelled right because I'm having one of those moments where even though I know it is, everything about the word looks wrong to me right now.

― ENBB, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 13:35 (sixteen years ago)

She's cutesie like My Little Pony. And you know (or don't know) how much I hate MLP. Fuck off with the cutesiness, you're an adult. Fuck off. hah

― Nathalie (stevienixed), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 13:47 (sixteen years ago)

u know i love that My Little Pony

― I love rainbow cookies (surm), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 13:49 (sixteen years ago)

you can take my little pony, sit on it together with drew and PISS OFF. hahaha j/k

― Nathalie (stevienixed), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 13:55 (sixteen years ago)

lol you know, you have been in a funny mood, i feel.

― I love rainbow cookies (surm), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 13:57 (sixteen years ago)

that's so true. you are very perceptive. :-D

― Nathalie (stevienixed), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 14:06 (sixteen years ago)

i love her, but i feel a little betrayed that she co-produced that he's not that into you nonsense. and was in it, etc.

― horseshoe, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 14:11 (sixteen years ago)

Yes. I refuse to see that. A friend of mine caught the end recently and wound up throwing stuff at the TV. lol.

― ENBB, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 14:14 (sixteen years ago)

Basically all you really need to know about Drew Barrymore can be gleaned by watching the movie "Ever After"; if you don't want to strangle her by the end of it, you love her.

(btw I love her)

― Four-TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN! (HI DERE), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 14:20 (sixteen years ago)

: )

― I love rainbow cookies (surm), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 14:21 (sixteen years ago)

lol I haven't seen that either. I haven't really seen that many of her movies at all tbh but I still think I really like her for some reason.

― ENBB, Wednesday, 29 July 2009 14:25 (sixteen years ago)

It's basically Drew's inner psyche on display; she's playing Cinderella, but her Cinderella is FEISTY and FULL OF SPUNK and DESTINED TO BE A PRETTY PRINCESS. The entire thing is totally smackable, but it's also really sweet and charming (IOW it's Drew to a T).

― Four-TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN! (HI DERE), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 14:27 (sixteen years ago)

She reminds me of cutesy Japanese girls. I hate'em too.

And she married TOM GREEN. HELLO!

Okay, I think I made my point.

― Nathalie (stevienixed), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 14:28 (sixteen years ago)

yeah well her terrible taste in men is well-documented (this, behind my happy marriage, is the #2 reason why we will never make sweet love ;_;)

― Four-TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN! (HI DERE), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 14:29 (sixteen years ago)

totally smackable, but it's also really sweet and charming (IOW it's Drew to a T)

never had much of a prob with her - but haven't really ever sat through anything thing she did except for ET (obv awes) & Wedding Singer (obv not), either. but I did hear her on Fresh Air a few days ago and she sounded like a umm real chore. still pretty cuet though.

― Four-TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN! (HI DERE), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 15:48 (sixteen years ago)

man my tolerance for sandler is so so low. i'll say it was one of the better things he's done.

― ^prizes the praise of the media, and the Europeans (will), Wednesday, 29 July 2009 15:51 (sixteen years ago)

i can't believe nobody here will rep for the wedding singer... it's actually quite good

The Wedding Singer is quite awful. It would've been a masterpiece had Billy Idol been the lead.
