Megan Fox Toe Thumb

Heh, that's a hereditary trait, from what I understand.

I believe the term is 'pterodactylism'.

No, I don;t believe that. But it is a term that sounds similar.

I wonder how it compares with evolution toe? How cool would it be if having both meant you were really...something. Smart, maybe.

I clearly do not have this condition.

I'm scared. Hold me, someone.

I get freaked out by malformed yet otherwise normal digits. I had a friend who had a baby and she had 12 toes and 12 fingers (that's the def of the word you're looking for Heidi. Means you are born with more than the normal number of fingers).

OK, anyway, so my ex-friend had this baby with all the fingers and toes and she calls me one day and says, "One fell off." One of the remedial fingers (the kid had an extra pinky on each hand and foot, and a normal finger on each hand was the thickness of two fingers and had two nails. It IS a heriditary condition--lots of inbreeding in this girl's fam, and lOTS of drugs being used at the time of conception) had fallen off in the bathtub and she wanted me to come pick it up and do something with it.

I said no.

I was imediately disgusted and fascinated. I could never look at the kid without feeling slightly...uneasy. Plus the child was a demon incarnate and my ex (who wasn't my ex yet) was sleeping with her mother.

Whore.

I just realized how disjointed and rambling that was. Can't imagine having a conversation with myself!

You know what it looks like? LIke she had her finger cut off and they sewed a donor big toe in its place.

Wasn't that the big internet rumor a while back? She had her thumb cut off when somebody slammed her hand in a trailer (talking trailer-park kind of trailer)?

And why, oh why, wouldn't she make someone photoshop the heck out of that thing?

Top post, asharceneaux. Still laffin.

Just found this: Someone else who loves horror hates her. Its a rant about how much she hates Megan Fox on someone's horror blog:

"Its a rant about how much she hates Megan Fox on someone's horror blog:"

Did you just call me a "she?"

ooooops! I'm sorry! I am female-centric, so I always assume. Can you forgive?

S'all good. I am pretty, so it's a common mistake. I'm diggin' the site so I linked you guys.

Thanks so much!!! ))

In my opinion Diablo Cody IS very overrated like this blog says.

friggin' annoying. why can't she just write english instead of that wierd jive-esque stuuff? LOL

diablo cody i mean.

Honest to Blog, she's so annoying and overrated.

Seriously, I can't stand Juno, in which there is no such thing as a real human emotion.

Juno's success may have come down to two things: the first tautly scripted example of a core demo's language (albeit slightly overcooked), and intelligent casting. I've not seen the whole thing, but there's an offbeat charm to Ellen Page that would boost any film.

Page is a good actress. I agree. But I'm sorry, I have a personal thing against films that make unwanted pregnancy (ahem, can we say, Knocked Up?) the subject of a 'comedy'. Juno should have been about how getting pregnant totally ruined Juno's life, forcing her to quit school, not go to college, work as a hotel maid the rest of her life, and then watch the same thing happen to her own daughter because the kid would have no father figure (as if Michael Cera would stick around, ha!). That'd be funny in a much more morbid real way, but nobody has the guts to make a movie about that because they want us to believe that every child is magickal, and that our lives can only be better by having them all over the place.

No one wants to admit that having kids ruined their lives (especially not people with kids). Anyway, I think Juno was written without any real feeling or concern for the characters, and Cody seems to have very little of those herself as an artist.

The first thing she did when she got famous was dump her husand of 7 years to date Edgar Wright, because he's cooler. he wouldn't have touched her with a ten foot pole before she got famous.

And one has to wonder if Hollywood would have touched her at all if she hadn't been a blogging stripper with brains and a heart of gold. Blech.

Let's see what her follow-up is.

Good points guys. I didn't realize how easy it is to give up a baby for adoption until I watched this movie; there's nothin to it! No emotional attachment at all! ahah

Naaaa... after you've given up your 3rd or 4th kid, you hardly feel anything anymore.

Hahahahahah

Jennifer's Body trailer:

http://pretty-scary.net/content/jennifers-body-trailer-emotionless-vile-...

what do you guys think?

I will probably see this movie because I need to see every horror movie good or bad. First off, the demon that Megan turns into looks very computer animated. I hate that. I wish that people would stick to the old fashioned liquid latex, makeup and fake blood....MUCH more scary. Second, it looks juvenile in my opinion.

I know the DP who shot it and like the cinematography.

Jessica

Weirdly, I posted in here this afternoon and it's missing. Y'all kicking the XY's around in honor of this movie? Daaayam, that's cold, my sisters.

Anyway, it looks pretty decent for a teen horror rental, but why would a bad-ass, hot-ass, powerful-ass demon with a great ass have such a problem with boys? Where's the beef?

Also, I can't stop looking for her thumbs.

I agree, why would a powerful demon waste her time sucking the blood of 'boys'? Why wouldn't she seek out the most powerful men on earth and then dominate and subjugate THEM? Much more fun for a demon, I would think.

Exactly. The trailer gives off some kind of gender revenge plot, and other than someone like Pizzuzu coming down to wreak havoc 'cause of some unknowable perverse jones, what is the motivation of a demon? She's not stealing their souls to piss off God, she's just eating them on some kind of girl-power trip. That'll keep the film from having any depth whatsoever.

I sense stripperitis.

Yeah, 'Strpperitis' is what she's got! And she became a stripper in the first place because she was 'bored' of her copyediting position at some shithole company out of college. Most women strip because they need the dough and have no other way of making it. She's a bored, middle class attention whore who was desperate to prove how attractive she was, so she took off her clothes in front of men for money, then made fun of the men on her blog because it was funny, then wrote this script. I'll bet in Diablo's head, the Megan Fox character is based on herself.

Its so much fun to hate Diablo.

and, 'Diablo'???? Come on. Do you love your stripper name so much you'll keep it forever, Mildred Schneedelmeyer?

Haha, please tell me that's her real name.

I also understand she demands that a fat DJ announce her arrival before she enters a script meeting. "Gentlemen, please give it up for...Deeeahhh-blowww."

Diablo was awesome!

it makes me think of 'Teeth'. Supposed to be a girl-power type movie, but in the end it's a 'let's use our vaginas to trap men and destroy them, thus perpetuating the social idea that women are vile, emotionless, man-destroying creatures instead of HUMANs who are just as smart, educated, intelligent, and capable of sustaining themselves, despite not having a penis' stereotype.

it's not even a girl power trip...it's just a vehicle for more division between genders.

I could'a said that better...but I have cramps right now. LOL

And I will be the first to stand up and say that yes, having children ruins lives. My big plans in life included acting in Hollywood (I used to be hot and thin and sorta cute LOL not so much anymore, thanks to those kids!), writing, art, and just being all around cool. Then I went and had a kid at 19, and alllllll those plans went straight down the drain. it took SEVEN years to get remotely back on track. Don't get me wrong, I love my children more than anything, but if I'd waited a few years to have kids...who knows where and what I would be! Now I'm just a statistic!

I actually think that said it really well! There is nothing empowering or feminist about a movie where super hot girls use their sexuality to harm men, and where all men are merciless victims to the 'hotness'. Because this way, when they 'destroy' her, they are doing a good thing. It tells society that men are helpless victims and that women who are sexually active are BAD. Only GOOD girls are submissive to men and don't make men 'feel' things when they want to have sex. And also, it suggests that woman have NO other way of taking revenge against men than to use their sexuality.

Me, I like to wait till men are asleep and then cut off their eyelashes. No sexuality there!

Women who are sexually active in horror have always been seen as "bad", haven't they? At least in this one, they're in control. See, that's the problem with you chicks, you think too much.

No, but seriously, horror has never really covered itself in glory when it came to gender stereotypes. Horror has an inherent sleaze factor that brings in some cheap bucks. Doesn't always have to be that way, though, and you would think with someone like Fox's apparent H'Wood cachet, they could find a film that challenges the conventions in something other than a lame-brained way. So in order not to be empty critics, let's rewrite it!

Fox is a pretty girl who feels trapped inside her role as the hot chick, because while she's handed power on a plate in high-school, at home she's being severely sexually abused by some family friends or something. Then, we see both sides of the physical issue. Anyway, she invites a demon to protect her (cause demons are waiting for that kind of shit all the time), but after giving it large to the men who deserve it, she ends up taking it out on the wrong victims, as she has no control over it.

Eventually she meets a androgynous emo-goth rocker dude who can "see" her dilemma (he's so sensitive!) and joins her in a battle for her soul. Or something.

In the end, she regains her soul, but it's transferred to the emo goth rocker dude who is waaaay worse cause emo guys are scum.

I read the scipt way back when Heidi stole it and posted it (just kidding LOL). I thought the emo dude was the big baddie?

Women aren't liked in horror movies if they don't use their sexuality in some way. One movie that I really liked that had a female lead is Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. The girl in the movie is the anti-thesis of horror movie heroines.

She's a virgin. She's not really all that pretty.

She still beats the shit out of the bad guy (which I really wanted to not happen cuz of the wierd twisted little romance vibe going on between him and her--and he was hot, sorta). She never takes her shirt off. She thinks. She uses a 'phallic representation' to beat him down. Plus, she didn't do too much running around and screaming.

I made up the emo dude in my shite example, so I dunno.

I think Inside did a nice job of eschewing stereotypes. You've got female courage, hideousness, beauty, ugliness, violence, a mother's protectiveness, deception, reliance on male figures, hatred and destruction of male figures and everything under the sun to do with female horror characters and that's just the first half hour.

While you're going French, Haute Tension didn't really go with stereotypes, either.

I hated Inside. My whole thing was...why the hell didn't the pregnant lady quit hiding and screaming and actually DO something?

But the toaster scene--loved it. Laughed.

Haute Tension is a rip-off of a Koontz, novel, with the 'twist' (literally--the progression from what happens to the girls to where the characters go and what they do is Koontz' Intensity. Koontz just didn't make the main character whacko, there was an actual bad guy), and I can't reconcile myself to that for some reason...

It was a stereotype though. Her other persona was a man, a huge, hulking, violent man. Why not a vicious woman?

Well, because you still have to make things jive with reality. It's great to break stereotypes, but you should avoid breaking reality. The personality of violence is male. That's not a stereotype, but rather is just simple human nature.

In Haute Tension, you had a killer driving around mindlessly murdering people. This is a male action. It has occurred in real history, many times. Men sometimes flip a switch and start murdering strangers. Women do not do this - even in bizarre cases such as Aileen Wuornos, there was a motive. Women do murder, but it's almost always loved ones, or children, or someone else with which they are emotionally vested.

With men, murder can be completely without motive, the thrill of killing the only satisfaction gained. This was the motive of the killer in Haute Tension, so it just had to be that the personality of the killer, though in a woman's body, was a dude.

I've heard that Haute Tension borrowed from Intensity before. It's possible, I suppose. Regardless, I enjoyed the film, awkward twist and all.

Yeah, it could be argued that Haute Tension actually commented on stereotypes by the twist. I remember being a little "whuh?" about it as there were some gaping holes, but it was pretty intense.

LOL it didn't borrow! It took the whole damn story. Seriously, with the exception of the twist, it is Intensity. Read the book, and you'll see.

Look, all I know is that if the chick was the killer, then why do we SEE the killer driving his van in the beginning, when the woman was in the car with her friends/family? Explain that.

Maybe because she was fantasizing about killing the women with her and driving a beat up old van?

I'm not saying it makes sense!

i don't think they planned to have the twist until the end, when someone mentioned they might have a plagiarism incident on their hands.

I read this on some AOL lemondrop.com article about Megan Fox and how she's bad for women LOL

s. Fox needs to see a cardiologist. She has classic Holt-Orem Syndrome of atrial-digital dysplasia. People who have a thumb that is "digitalized" or looks more like a finger than a thumb, have a very high likelihood of having a heart problem,, which usully means that the wall between the two upper heart chambers (the atria) may have an abnormal openin called an atrial-septal defect. If you want to read more you can look up Wikipedia, or the National Library of Medicine Home Genetics Reference http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition=holtoramsyndrome
Since 75% of people with this shape of thumb turn out to have heart problems, she should see a knowledgeble physician sooner rather than later.
This is one of the more fun medical problems that you can diagnose from across the room.
-dr bill"

But her thumb looks like a toe. An ugly toe. Does that count the same as if her thumb looks like a finger?

I read more about the disease, and one article stated that the thumbs could look malformed.

Ahh, more 'toe thumb news':

http://www.ivillage.com/megan-fox-used-thumb-double-super-bowl-ad/1-a-110843?nlcid=et|02-10-2010|

apparently, she used a THUMB double in this recent superbowl ad. Apparently the arms/hands of a double are computer-ed onto her own.

Yea, like the people who are into Megan Fox are looking at her thumbs.......

Just saying.

creepy. her ick factor goes up.....

I hate Megan Fox.
