What the hell is this supposed to mean? Her old nose was pretty bad? Who are you to judge how good or bad noses are (to me, it looks fine), and whats the implication here - my nose is large and probably resembles hers, should I be running out to get a nose job? And if I don't, am I the idiot who runs around with a…

Admittedly I haven't read the book, but it says a lot (to me, at least) if the smartest character is a woman who uses her sexuality against people as an "evil" means to an end.

Same here, sort of. I wanted a nose job from a very, very young age (I think I remember talking about it for the first time when I was 10 or 11). Part of that was probably internalizing the veiled and not-so-veiled anti-Semitism I experienced as a kid in a small town. My nose was obviously the most Jewish part of me…

But I also wanted a buttload of tattoos when I was that age and now I wish I hadn't gotten them. So, aside from the "too young to make a decision" aspect, there is also the "your face is still growing and changing" aspect. Might be wise to wait a few years, until 18/19.

As someone who was pushed into a nose job at 15 by an overbearing mother - I didn't even hate my nose, and in my entire life, only 1 single person taunted me about it, so not like it was ruining my life... but I didn't fit into the idea of the pretty daughter she wanted - I would never let a child of mine have surgery…

I don't have a problem with adults getting plastic surgery but I think it's silly for teens to get plastic surgery.

But it's ok if she simply wants a smaller nose? I really don't understand what the difference is. I'm not trying to be confrontational, I really don't.

"Its ok to have plastic surgery." That is the second sentence in my original comment, so I don't understand your reply to me. I've had a breast reduction, so I certainly don't begrudge anyone for altering their own appearance if its very important to them to do so. My post was about how sad it is that a grown woman…

First you say it's sad young women feel they need to carve their faces, then you say her nose was pretty bad. Bad how? And what is a good nose?

Well, there's obviously a degree of permanence and medical risk to a nose job that is not present with getting your brows waxed or putting on bronzer. I'm a teensy bit uncomfortable with a 16 year making the decision for those reasons, as I would be with a 16 year old getting a tattoo. But no, there is no…

I've got to agree with you. Its ok to have plastic surgery. But, its sad that a grown woman is still thinking of her teenage self as hideous and then publicly describing herself as such. I just think of a little girl, struggling with acceptance of her own nose (as unfortunately many teenage girls do) and then hearing…

I think this is less about the surgery and more about her describing herself as "hideous" before it. Because this is her with her old nose, and she is anything but hideous.

For people who mistake nostalgia for comedy and confuse lowest common denominator misogynistic, homophobic and racist stereotypes with satire. Even the fart jokes are unfunny and generic on this show.

Since most people have already gone with Lost, I'll just leave this here.

Holy Hell did this video drive me crazy. Well the initial lack of sound, that is. I've spent the last ten minutes futzing around with all my speakers, cables, and volume controls trying to get sound, only to go to the the youtube page for the video where it tells me that the first few clips HAVE no sounds. Fricking…

I have such an urge to cut out the Stormtrooper bits and overlay Yackity Sax ontop of it.

A friend met someone once who claimed to have worked on the set of one of the SW films, and one of his primary responsibilities was to keep Ford's bong packed and ready off camera for breaks in shooting. Anecdotal evidence, to be sure, but seems plausible enough for a rangy, languid space cowboy...

I'd just like to say that remembering Alec Guinness for playing Obi-Wan Kenobi isn't quite as bad as remembering Orson Welles as the guy who voiced Unicron in the Transformers cartoon, but it's pretty freakin' close.

Really? Alec Guiness was a world-famous Shakespearean actor who had been acting since the 1930s at least. According to Wiki: he'd received a Commander of the Order of the British Empire medal in 1955, was made a freaking Knight in 1959, was awarded with an honorary Doctorate from Cambridge University, and had a Star…

So he wasn't "ripping on the work that made him famous", but rather ripping on what at the time was just another job. And I think Lawrence of Arabia was even bigger than Bridge on the River Kwai, no? I could be mistaken.
