Fox/Jolie

"Beauty is merciless. You do not look at it, it looks at you and does not forgive."
- Nikos Kazantzakis

You've seen the magazine covers and E news reports, there is apparently some kind of Hollywood duel between acclaimed acting beauty Angelina Jolie and new eye candy Megan Fox. None of us really give a shit but still it's the little things that make up life so here we go. Now from what I've read Jolie was snuffed for the role of Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider series over Fox. Happens all the time, I know, but I think the main criticism is that everyone believes Fox was chosen over Jolie because they look very much alike and she is younger. I don't know where peoples' heads are at when they think thirty four is old as hell.

Fox has reportedly turned down the roll due to the fact that she is being compared to Jolie, something she claims to have had to do many times. Fox has also been quoted as being "terrified" of Jolie claiming she is a powerful, god like figure that would "eat her alive". If that isn't melodramatic exaggeration I don't know what is.

Now comes the personal bashing which I will begin starting with a Ralph Waldo Emerson quote "Beauty without expression tires." Angelina Jolie expresses power, range, compassion, classical beauty and a powerhouse better half. The only thing Megan Fox expresses is her luscious young jailbait body. Seriously, you look at photos of her, which I'm sure you often do, even the people who like her will be able to see she is the prime example of a Hollywood manufactured celebrity. Even Fox herself has said that the only similarity is their looks and the action roles they've been involved with. Fine ass goes a long way but talent and fine ass goes even farther. Apologies Megan, but you are the former. It's not that I hate her, it's that I certainly don't hate looking at her and that's all she has to offer. Still no matter how hot that body is, Angelina is always gonna be the more attractive in my book.
