Hotness In Motion Versus In Pictures
Just something I wanted to comment on, coming from the latest Hot or Not threads.
I have long noticed that some women look great in pictures, and not so much in video/movies/in motion. Even more often, I see women who don't look great in pictures, but who just come off awesome in motion. The addition of the way her body moves or the way her face looks when it's smiling or talking or laughing raises the attractive level immensely. Reason I bring this up is I have thought that both of the recent HoN subjects, Emma Stone and Christina Hendricks, have fallen into this latter category. Emma Stone looks fantastic in Zombieland, but it's rare I find too many still pictures of her where she's compelling. Christina Hendricks looks wonderful in Mad Men, but sometimes comes off not so well in still pitcures (incidentally, she's in Drive, and I didn't find her too attractive in that, but might have been the role she was playing). Thoughts?

Yes.
I am very familiar with this phenomenon. I think a lot of it has to do with presence, charm or whatever you want to call it. Some people have it, others don't. For example, I now Jessica Alba is an attractive woman, but I think she was zero presence or charm and, thus, I don't really find her all that attractive.

Good example. I see her pictures, and I am thinking I would be on her like white on rice. Then I see her in a movie and she's just kinda blah.

With respect to the HoN threads, this brings to mind the fact we generally just see pictures in there. So women who do better in motion than in pictures kinda get short shrift from those who maybe aren't as familiar with their work on screen (or whatever they do).
I wonder how many of the lower end women on the HoN list would do better if more vids of them were posted in those threads?

I said something very similar to that one time, and I was accused of having ovaries and needing to buy some tampons. That's OK, I got the guy who said that banned, so we cool. Just letting you know.

HB, you have ovaries and should borrow some of Pumpy's tampons.

You have a point. I wouldn't have her #1 on pictures, but she's amazing in motion.

Pumpy, the check is in the mail. Your target: Start looking here: "Le stelle la notte sono grandi e luminose nel cuore profondo del Texas." (I would suggest you find someone who speaks Italian, Spanish, French or whatever the hell language that is, because all I understand is "Texas" and that shit is big.) Happy hunting...

Sorry, dude. Nothing personal. We'll miss you once Pumpy gets you banned. It's been fun. Like any good Texas boy should know: Mess with the bull, get the horns.

Well, I just saw Felicity Jones at lunch today and she is hot. I saw some pictures of her and well, the pictures just don't live up to the real thing.

Ignoring the baiting (), live is even better than in motion on video. Just as I have seen a difference between pictures and video, I have also seen a difference between video and live. I can imagine why Felicity Jones looked so hot in person. The level of attractiveness of some of these girls in person is ridiculous.

Chief, you have echoed my thoughts exactly. The only time I have seen Ms. Hendricks was in that thread and so far, no one has shown a picture that convinced me that she's hot. That also goes my oft-controversal opinion on Scarlett Johansson. Apart from IM2, I have not seen her in a movie or show and can only judge from the pictures here. She's probably one of those that looks a lot better in film than a still photograph, apparently.

She actually is. She's all wonderfully jiggly and bubbly on camera, from what I have seen. Just seems like a lot of fun. I don't think still photos do her justice. She's most fun on the red carpet, where she's unscripted. I don't think I have ever seen her do a red carpet interview where she didn't come off hot as hell.

As long as she doesn't talk...
Edit: I guess I was being a little vague. I find most (lots of exceptions) of them lose there hotness if I hear them in an interview.

Now that I reread your statement, I'm not sure if you're talking about Scarlett or Christina Hendricks. If it's Scarlett, though, she is amazing looking in person. She was eating lunch across the room from me a few months ago down in the Miracle Mile area and the entire restaurant had trouble keeping their eyes off her (maybe that was just me). Another one that's mega hot in person? Denise Richards. Another lunch encounter. She created a path of silence as she walked through the place to sit at her table. Just stunning. I think the best one though was Pamela Anderson. I was eating breakfast out at Paradise Cove a couple of years ago and she came strolling into the place. Sat down at the table next to me. It is quite possibly the slowest pace at which I've ever eaten a meal.

I used to work in the SAG building on Wilshire, so I would see actors coming and going all the time (and obviously eating in the surrounding restaurants). The AFTRA offices are on the 9th floor and I rode up the elevator with Michael Emerson during the last season of Lost. We chatted for a bit about the show. Very cool guy.
