I thought she was good in Poison Ivy, personally. And she is cute and sexy. Those things are sufficient for me to be in favour of her.

she always seems like someone's sister putting on a show for the family at thanksgiving. this is endearing but only for like 15 minutes.

she's totally hot!

― James Blount (James Blount), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 18:21 (twenty years ago) link

shes not that hot!

― chaki (chaki), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 18:27 (twenty years ago) link

no way man - she's totally hot!

There are far worse sins than being Drew Barrymore and producing and acting in movies. Really. You can look it up. I mean, she's not a "serious actress," but neither does she pretend to be. That and a few entirely pleasant films she took part in win her a lot of slack in my book.

As for Tom Green, he or she who has never dated anyone gross or inappropriate can cast the first stone. Good thing US Weekly doesn't keep track of all of our romantic foibles, no?

True, she did marry him, but still.

I thought after the dust settled on Drew and Tom it turned out that they never were legally married.

And I remember when their house burned down and some news crew interviewed them in their car and Drew was as perky as ever, with Tom in the background interjecting, "Except our HOUSE...BURNED DOWN!" after Drew kept insisting she was happy and not bothered at all about it.

And classic.

I'd do her.

Wedding Singer is fantastic. I can't think of anything else she's been in that sticks with me (besides E.T.), but she is foxy. Still, Tom Green ... worthless cretin.

She is very beatiful and sexy.

Nothing is worse than 28 Days Later.

sightings:
i used to see her at el coyote (rest. in LA) ca. 94-96 all the time, i saw her backstage at pavement in '94 (w/ then beau eric "i'm courtney's bitch" erlandson), saw her at a tonight show taping.

impressions:
i thought she was really cute (note: neither "hot" nor "totally hot") in person. i like that she is very comfortable having a goofy side. and that lisp is very endearing.

artwork:
loved "never been kissed", i don't think i've seen any of the other movies besides "ET" and "Irreconcilable Differences", neither of which I've seen since a youngster.

cons:
bad taste in men; possibly equalled by taste in music (?).

overall:
i'd ask her out if i was in a mildly successful alt-rock band.

Er, I actually liked that Cinderella movie she did, it could so easily have been super annoying but she made it work. Oh, and she is friends w/Courtney Love which was the first reason I thought of for her being cool.

wow, speaking of fairy tales, is that FameTracker person the Wicked Witch of the West or what? sheesh, who pissed in their cornflakes?

It's run by the people who also write Television Without Pity -- they're pretty much bitter and pissy about everything.

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 00:22 (twenty years ago) link

thank god!

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 00:30 (twenty years ago) link

yeah, I like their styles.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 01:13 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, I read TWOP a lot but I was just pointing out that this was not an uncharacteristic attack.

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 01:17 (twenty years ago) link

I agree with at least half of what Ally C said.

― the pinefox, Thursday, 3 July 2003 14:57 (twenty years ago) link

I love how all the Celtic sites have her in photoshopped hoops. Its like she is the fairy god mother of their websites at the moment.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 3 July 2003 15:28 (twenty years ago) link

She's hot, and I can't think of anyone else moviewise who is, "Never Been Kissed" was a great goofy teen movie, and I'd ask her out if I was drunk. I'll prob watch CA1 on Sunday, now I've been forced to think about it.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 4 July 2003 13:43 (twenty years ago) link

I agree with at least the second half of what Ally C said. But then that's not surprising is it.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 4 July 2003 13:46 (twenty years ago) link

Who are you to say she isn't beatiful?

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 4 July 2003 13:47 (twenty years ago) link

I'm a certified beauty inspector.

― Pete (Pete), Friday, 4 July 2003 14:53 (twenty years ago) link

I'm only interested in yr beat inspecting credentials, Pete

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Friday, 4 July 2003 15:00 (twenty years ago) link

Uh, while we're still sort of talking about Charlie's Angels 2, I get the impression from the commercials that a lot of very swank and very cool classic sports cars are gratutiously destroyed. Is this, in fact, an accurate judgement of the film? I mean, it was nauseating enough seeing that Charger get wrecked in the first Fast and/or Furious movie.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Friday, 4 July 2003 15:12 (twenty years ago) link

I decided I didn't like Drew Barrymore anymore after Donnie Darko. her part in that film was a real "I'm executive producer so I will have a part that makes me look like a fascinating and fully rounded person" ego wank. Plus she married that twatmunk from that Roadtrip film. OK so she divorced him, but marrying him in the first place suggests strongly that she is TOTAL DUD.

― DV (dirtyvicar), Friday, 4 July 2003 22:48 (twenty years ago) link

It just means that she is kind to animals.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 4 July 2003 23:01 (twenty years ago) link

DUD.

― tyler hildy, Saturday, 5 July 2003 00:03 (twenty years ago) link

i'd do her too, but then i'd probably have a really bitter self-loathing jag

― jess (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 6 July 2003 00:04 (twenty years ago) link

I think that were I to sleep with Drew Barrymore I would be too surprised by the turn of events to be self-loathing. But then I'd have some explaining to do, and that could get messy.

― Matt (Matt), Sunday, 6 July 2003 00:07 (twenty years ago) link

read matt's post in the voice of james lipton for x-tra hilarity

― jess (dubplatestyle), Sunday, 6 July 2003 00:08 (twenty years ago) link

if only I knew who James Lipton was, hang on a sec (googles) oh come on, what did I ever do to you?

― Matt (Matt), Sunday, 6 July 2003 00:36 (twenty years ago) link

yeah she was notably terrible in "Donnie Darko" partly b/c the other leads were generally quite good. but even in charlie's angels she doesn't seem comfortable with the lines, with the movement and so on, compared to diaz and liu. she projects little but a kind of insecurity masquerading as wilfull indifference.

― amateurist (amateurist), Sunday, 6 July 2003 02:55 (twenty years ago) link

i should cut her a break. sometimes i forget how young she is--just a few years older than me. it's impressive that as a producer she's helped to get a few good movies made, at her age.

― amateurist (amateurist), Sunday, 6 July 2003 02:56 (twenty years ago) link

she's not my cup of twee.

― di smith (lucylurex), Sunday, 6 July 2003 03:16 (twenty years ago) link

really though i prefer my women hard-faced or butch or fat or supersmart or preferably all four and drew is none of those things.

― di smith (lucylurex), Sunday, 6 July 2003 03:17 (twenty years ago) link

you people are seriously misunderestimating her intelligence

― James Blount (James Blount), Sunday, 6 July 2003 04:45 (twenty years ago) link

I find her oddly appealing, though I'll be damned if I can figure-out why - but I'm guessing that it has to be her girl-next-door looks contrasted with her wild behavior - though it seems to me that she's living pretty fast these days which makes me wonder if she's going to burn-out soon.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Sunday, 6 July 2003 05:25 (twenty years ago) link

As contrasted w/her meek and restrained earlier days? She was in rehab at 13 or something, I think.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 6 July 2003 09:46 (twenty years ago) link

*sigh* I know. They grow-up so fast these days, don't they?

Drew Barrymore : Classic or Dud?

DUD.
