so much as what it says about me; my ability to resist temptation, e.g.
There seems to be some kind of consensus among the lady-fancying humans among us (and I count myself as one such) that, in Ghost World, it was not Thora Birch but rather Scarlett Johansson who was the more attractive of the two female leads. (I will grant that she's very attractive—all the more so now than then—but that's no matter.) For support that statistically everyone feels that way, I turn, say, here.
But this is simply insupportable. Insupportable.

They're a little too young for me to care much either way. Scarlett was certainly the more mainstream of the two, and that might make the difference.
I still can't get over the fact that we got to see Thora's under-eighteen boobs in "American Beauty", though.

You know, I've seen American Beauty, and Thora Birch's breasts being revealed in it was brought up elsewhere when I was fulminating about this (maybe on irc), but I can't remember that scene. I surely would have been interested.

Your point is that you want to be caned by Thora Birch? TMI, my friend, tmi.

You are reading too much into the fact that her name was linked to a site about caning.

The scene is when Mena Suvari's in Thora's room with her, she's at the window, and Ben Chaplin's filming her from his house. She slowly undresses for him. How could you have missed it? I was all, "Underage titties! SK0R3!!"

"American Beauty" sucked. I'm glad it is turning into one of those academy award winners that people liked at the time, but seem embarassing now. "Being John Malkovich", "the matrix" and "the sixth sense" were much better.

On the contrary, American Beauty didn't suck, but is just suffering a backlash from its massive overratedness. That and the hysterical dancing plastic bag coda.

"The Matrix" better than "American Beauty"... ha ha ha ha ha.
