Men get away with extra weight because, bottom line, other men really couldn’t give a shit about it. Men don’t devote their time to pouring over tabs and celeb rags pronouncing on who’s looking saggy, old, mottled, boil-ridden, thunder-thighed, wrinkled, etc in the way that women do. It’s our own fault. We are our own worst enemies. Pressure on men will never be the same as on women for that reason.
Jack Black suits chubby, like Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Very eloquently put, Geronimo – excellent points. I always blamed men for the pressure on women to look beautiful but I think you may have a great point there.
On another note, Kung Fu Panda rocked – hubby and I took our son, 4, and we all loved it and wanted to see it again immediately. Jack Black was perfect.
Kung Fu Panda sucked. If he’s going to make another bomb like that, then maybe he should join the B-list cast of NBC’s Celebrity Circus tommorow night if he wants some real training.
Having been out here in LA for 10 years now, EVERYONE feels the need to be slimmer. There really is a pressure to be in shape.
That being said, Geroniomo is right, women are their own worst enemies. Unless someone completely balloons, ala Kirstie Alley, I rarely hear men going over womens weight etc. They are far more interested in her boobs than her dress size.
I liked Kung Fu Panda a lot. The animation was stunning, and the story was fun. I end up going to a lot of kids’ movies and most of them are annoying and painful (ahem, Hannah Montana). I actually enjoyed this one. For a change.
Did you to me the thing, and I suppose that thinking is good. Now I will have to digest that a little more before I decide what I will do about it. Btta5200
Any acting lessons in the future as well ?
Kidding- gosh tough room….. 😆
Seriously, I’ve loved Jack since his big scene in that movie The Jackal. His best role ever.

He is just now aware that he has a weight problem. jesus, King Kong’s ass was smaller than Jack’s.
I think there is something sexy in Jack. Not sure what (besides his eyes). But I don’t think he would like good thin.
Great quality stuff.
