Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the question of who is the most physically gifted actress in Hollywood, with a focus on attributes such as physical appearance and performance in specific roles, particularly those involving black skintight suits. The conversation includes humorous and speculative elements, as well as references to physics concepts.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants suggest Cathrine Zeta-Jones and Angelina Jolie as primary candidates for the title of most physically gifted actress.
  • Others express a preference for "other" actresses, indicating a desire for broader options beyond the two mentioned.
  • A participant humorously claims that their formal physics training and wearing a black skintight suit qualifies them for consideration.
  • There are references to Zeta-Jones's portrayal in a film where she navigates under laser beams, suggesting a connection to physics through her performance.
  • Some participants mention Britney Spears in relation to a humorous physics-themed website, questioning her eligibility based on her attire in music videos.
  • Discussion includes a mention of Meg Ryan and whether astronomers can be considered physicists, adding to the playful nature of the thread.
  • One participant claims Angelina Jolie shows evidence of successful anti-gravity work, further blending the themes of physicality and physics.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varied opinions on who should be considered the most physically gifted actress, with no clear consensus emerging. Multiple competing views remain throughout the discussion.

Contextual Notes

The discussion includes humorous and speculative elements that may not align with traditional criteria for evaluating physical talent. The criteria for selection appear to be loosely defined, leading to diverse interpretations.

Or Angelina Jolie?

Two options?

I pick other.

That's fine as long as "other" fits the black skintight suit criteria.
 
I have some formal physics training. And sometimes I wear a black skintight suit... at night... when I'm alone. Does that mean I'm in the running? :redface:

I have to go with Zeta-Jones here!

If you like. You'll have to post a picture, though. I suppose Arildno might possibly vote for you.

Yes, she demonstrated a particularly advanced understanding of laser-physics, I thought, with the sinuous way she snaked her skin tight clad body under that alarm beam.

Ahh yes, I remember that very well.

I’d have to go with Angelina out of the two. But then again, I would probably have to go to a clinic to be tested afterwards.

Well, this thread just DEMANDS a comment about Britney Spear's Guide to Semiconductor Physics.

I really don't know how to classify this entry. There's physics, sure, but the absense of a black skin-tight suit reminds me of Dennis Conner entering the America's Cup Yacht race in a catamaran. The other contestants may well object, I don't know.

Oh, you're right, I may have to concede. However, you have to admit, this is one of the funniest pictures ever made, er, I mean, taken:

That's where she keeps her baby when she's not driving with it on the dash board.

Well, someday, perhaps, we'll have a semiconductor physics poll with a metalic pantaloon requirement...or who knows. Dennis Conner did win the cup that year.

that britney spears physics site weirded me out. i didn't know what to think when i was reading it. also, she did wear that red leather suit in the oops i did it again video... now is she in the running?

Well, if you think you get to sleep with the one you vote for, I'm curious to know who you pick in the Einstein vs Newton threads.

I'm all confused Gale. I thought I'd put up two evenly matched candidates, but the public seems to demand great variety.

This needs to be added to GD classics...

awwww... I loved that movie!

But, wait a minute - do astronomers count as physicists?

Wow, Tim Robbins and Meg Ryan, how could that movie be anything BUT good? :rolleyes:

I'd have to go with Angelina simply because she shows evidence of successful anti-gravity work...

Additionally, she can wear a tight suit with one eye tied behind her back:
