She’s not setting herself up as a spokesperson for anything, she’s just expressing an opinion. And as I read it, it’s the wanting to play a stripper’s role - any stripper’s role - rather than wanting a good meaty part in an interesting film where the character happens to be a stripper, that she’s puzzled by. I loved her in The Opposite of Sex - very clever actress.

Not a fan of LiLo but for Christina Ricci to criticize anyone being naked in a movie is the pot calling the kettle black. In Black Snake Moan, she was naked 90% of the movie, was fucked more then once during the movie and she is going to talk about anyone else.. sorry.. can’t take anything she says even with a grain of salt for she is a hypocrite.

I haven’t been interested in anything she has been in since “The Adams Family” and “Casper”…
…and that is because technically I was paid to see “Casper”…
By this time I thought she would be working in a McDonalds or something.

Re: Male nudity
The reason it got laughs was because it was played for laughs. Female nudity, even when the woman is crying is always sexualized.

Brave man, Jason Segal.
I don’t think wearing a pig’s nose is quite the same thing. Kidman and Theron and a couple of others were taking great glee in not being pretty. The pig nose is not to make her character look ugly, it’s for a different reason altogether.
Ricci’s actual quote isn’t all that bad. The intro paragraph provided by the writer added in a reference to Lohan and “creating a culture of women who find flattery in misogyny.” Ricci may have had something like that, but it’s not in the quoted text.

Ricci’s character in Black Snake Moan was that of a troubled girl who used sex & drugs to cope with life & was sort-of saved by SLJ.
LL’s character in I Knew This Would Flop was that of a stripper. That pretty much sums up her whole caracter.
There actually is a difference.
Geronimo- Opposite of Sex is brilliant!

don’t think she’s snarking about women in hollywood doing nudity, but rather the quality of the movie work. it’s one thing to do a complex movie with depth and character development, that has nudity in it– and another to aspire to movie roles that have no character development, no depth, no talent, no script, only the “star” prancing around in stages of undress. hollywood is producing a crop of young actresses that seem to think that all they need do is flash their privates and the world will ooh and aah–whether it’s in a movie or getting out of their car in the real world. movie making requires a bit more than that, at least if you want to make good movies.

My sister-in-law told me she wanted to plan a girls’ night out that would involve a pole dancing class and then drinks afterward. I just stared at her for several minutes and told her I’d meet them later for drinks. I don’t want to know how to work a pole, why would I degrade myself that way? Her and her suburban friends can go do that and believe they are being wild and sexy in their soccer mom hair and sensible heeled sandals. As for me, I’m not a stripper and have never found myself in a position where I needed the cash so badly I was willing to dance naked for money.
Sorry for the mini-rant, I just get annoyed with glamorizing something that I find quite dehumanizing. (And I’m just killing time until The Office, Earl and 30 Rock come on.)

…. says the woman who spent an entire movie prancing around as a half-naked nymphomaniac. I get the point… just might not be the most effective spokesperson.
