Have been a fan since Labyrinth. This underrated actress is to me, one of Hollywood's all-time beautiful actresses. Timeless beauty ala Grace Kelly. She's was drop dead gorgeous in Rocketeer. And the world finally found out that she could act in A Beautiful Mind.
Boo to Ang Lee for not directing and underusing Jen in the Hulk. Typical Ang Lee movie, it starts slow then builds up. Great fight sequences with the US Military but real bitin.
Er, back to Jennifer. I used to put this masking tape behind my chair (during my ad agency days) that said, "Reserved For Jennifer Connelly."
Bwa ha ha.
true confessions.

Full Version: JENNIFER CONNELLY
one question, BK: ever noticed that jennifer connelly's breasts have shrunk considerably ever since her rocketeer days? what happened to her "concealed weapons?"
anyone here in the know, please feel free to shed light on the matter

Really, they shrunk? :eek: But nevertheless, she's still pretty. Kinda reminds me of Nancy Castiglione, hehe. 
She was at her hottest in the "Rocketeer" and "Career Opportunities".

maybe nagpa-breast reduction surgery siya... i just read the other day na Queen Latifah underwent the same procedure coz her breasts were given her back pains. hahaha.
anyway, Jennifer Connelly deserved her Oscar for "A Beautiful Mind"... after many years in the industry, im glad that they finally gave her one.
now if they can only do something about Renee Zellweger, Julianne Moore, and Diane Lane...

gaslight,
yes, they did seem smaller in hulk. or maybe it was because she was wearing loose sweaters instead of the bodyhugging types.
she was just a sight to behold in the rocketeer. i got every format of that film -- vhs, dvd, vcd, even the comic adaptation.
i was a rocketeer fan even before the comic was committed to film and jen was appropriately cast as was bill campbell.
too bad it didn't do well. but it is still a darn good and entertaining film.
as for renee zellwegger and diane lane, they too deserve some award. they've done some pretty good work. remember when diane lane was such a hot babe in streets of fire?
but jen forever!

She's the simple kind of pretty. Not HOT, but definitely PRETTY.

mukhang ganun na nga, that she must have undergone some medical procedure like you mentioned. used to be that i was drawn to her chest area; now it's her intense eyes that rivet my attention.
anyway, i thought that she did a masterful portrayal of john nash's long-suffering wife in a beautiful mind and that she really deserved that academy award. by the way, i studied economics at di ko akalain na ganun pala kakulay at kasalimuot ang buhay nung hayupak na john nash na iyon na nakaimbento ng game theory, hehehehehehe!
ya grabe ang galing niya mag-act with her eyes... ang subtle ng emotions pero mararamdaman mo parin...
i just saw "Hulk" now... medyo corny siya... pero Nick Nolte and Jennifer Connelly saved the movie with their performances... (the editing was the absolute best part of it though)...
Connelly really did deserve her Oscar for A Beautiful Mind... actually, dapat nga sa Lead Actress siya pinasok instead of Supporting Actress...
in other news, by my count, Renee Zellweger was robbed of THREE Oscar nominations already and robbed of TWO Oscar wins... she should've been nommed for "One True Thing", "Jerry Maguire", and "Nurse Betty"... thank God she got nommed for "Bridget Jones's Diary" and "Chicago"... kung ako yung Academy, Renee would have 5 noms na by now... and she should've won for "One True Thing" and "Bridget Jones"... emphasis on "One True Thing" - her absolute BEST performance to date!!! grabe, talong talo sa kanya si Meryl Streep... i never expected that pero Renee pulled it off! you guys should see her performance in that movie! Renee outshined Meryl!
Diane Lane should've won the Oscar this year over Nicole Kidman and her SUPPORTING performance in "The Hours"... super galing niya sa "Unfaithful"... plus, sa tinagal-tagal na niya sa industry, they could've given it to her as a "longevity award", parang si Michael Caine when he won Best Supporting Actor for "The Cider House Rules"...
buti na lang may Oscar na si Connelly... that's one less actress who's overdue for an Oscar.

She is quite pretty... Low profile, gives her that classy and elegant vibe. :eek:
it seems that the only marvel comics that were adapted pretty well (and that's an understatement) are Blade, Spider-man and X-Men (including the sequels of course). Daredevil could have been real good but kulang. hindi na-explore yung wealth of talent they had like in colin farrell and michael clarke duncan.
hulk on the other hand, i was nervous since everybody knew that the jade behemoth would be nothing more than a CGI character. nick nolte, who's really great at playing eccentric characters was his usual nasty self. sam elliot, who's great at crusty and grumpy characters (remember him in we were soldiers? he could give lee ermey a run for his money in tough soldier-types?) was underused. well, you all know how i felt about jen connelly acting here as was eric bana's.
ang lee sorta reminds of george lucas. he's got a very good cast but seems to be more engrossed in the technicalities and effects of the movie that he isn't able to coax out the best performances from his actors.
regarding the george lucas comparison, i don't believe that he needs brit actors do a great film because he's got some pretty good ones in natalie portman and harrison ford (back then).
fans of the hulk comics will know that betty ross-banner graduated from the atypical female in distress to a strong-willed character who was so vital in the character's mythos. granted it's just one film, but nevertheless. bryan singer had oscar awardee halle berry for two x-men films and she had some really bad lines and wasted fight scenes. storm should have really kicked some serious butt!
hopefully, mike mignola's hellboy will be better.
or even ghostrider with johnny depp as johnny blaze.
oh yeah, jennifer connelly forever!!!

aside from jennifer connelly, a couple of actresses whom i really am a fan of are moira kelly and mia kirshner.
like jen, both actresses are underrated and have chosen small and indie roles. not to mention that they're all very pretty!
i followed moira all the way from the cutting edge to with honors to the lion king and west wing. sadly, not too many of her films are available here.
mia kirshner on the other hand, i became a fan when i saw her in the crow. wish she'd choose better roles though.

jenny connelly's great. She was a lot slimmer in the hulk than in rocketeer, I think.
IMHO I thought hulk wasn't too bad. I was dissappointed that they strayed from the original mythos, but overall it was enjoyable, albeit rather slow starting. I didn't think eric bana was too bad either. Actually i was impressed with the facial expressions of the hulk - when he was angry he was, well, really angry, but in those scenes where he's sort of starting to calm down, he lookd really innocent, you know? like a little kid.
anyway, yeah. BTW, which brit actor are you talking about? Bana is an aussie.

was referring to ewan macgregor and liam neeson among others.
anyways, not a bad day for me. we won (though not a satisfying win), i played a great game of hoops after, and someone just revived this thread!
Go Jen!

ooops, read that wrong, sorry!
go jen indeed!

no prob, dude.
Go Jen. wonder what she's up to these days, as in new movies. by the way, dime333x, how did the hulk movie fare in terms of box office receipts? did it make money or was it a flop?

I think it did make money, not sure how much. as far as I know, it was #1 on the top 10 movies down under for a bit. Not really sure for how long, though. And rottentomatoes.com gave it a "fresh" rating.
See her picture on a recent cover of Vogue magazine?
