More thoughts on "ScarJo" and her hubby "RyRen"

Well, I thought about it, and I decided that I like both Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds. I always liked her, but I didn't care for him until he married her. His roles on TV like "Two Girls & A Guy (& A Pizza Place) from the 90's did not inpress me too much, to tell the truth. But then he started doing movies like Van Wilder (which I still haven't seen), Just Friends (which I saw cause I also like Amy Smart), the trendy theme restaurant comedy Waiting... (that one was OK, but I have no interest in the straight-to-DVD sequel), and of course, the well-received comedy The Proposal, which pretty much revitalized his career. It co-starred Sandra Bullock, who had both a really bad movie (All About Steve) and a great movie where she won an Academy Award (The Blind Side) both in the same year. Yes, she won an Oscar and a Razzie in the same year, just like Halle Berry did a few years ago!

Then came the Wolverine prequel, and I think Reynolds played a fine Deadpool. In the Marvel comic books, the Deadpool character is an assassin-for-hire who has razor-sharp wit and a really sarcastic sense of humor, so Ryan was right for that role in the movie, because he can play characters who are real smart-mouthed.

And now he will be playing the Green Lantern (the Hal Jordan version) in next year's adaptation movie of the DC Comics character. That should be interesting, I have been doing a lot of research into the DC Universe for a while now. Before that, I was just reading Marvel, but now I like DC as well.

As for Scarlett, well, I had been wondering something for a while now. In my previous blog post I said that I had seen both the Nanny Diaries and He's Just Not That Into You and that for the most part, I enjoyed both. But as I also said, she was brunette in Nanny and blonde in Into You. Plus, in Into You, her breasts looked much larger than in Nanny. Perhaps it was the clothing she wore for the two different roles. In Nanny, she played a young and intelligent aspiring business woman who has an interest in anthropology, and as the title implies, she becomes a nanny for a wealthy couple in Manhattan's Upper East Side, and her outfits are, I suppose, relatively conservative. Her breasts do not stick out all that much, nor does she show much cleavage. But like I said, that was proabably because of the character whe was playing, and the director wanted the audience to tak her seriously.

But in Not That Into You, the story is a lot different. In this movie Scarlett plays a young, fairly naive yoga instructor who is also an aspiring singer. This leads her to meet a guy (played by Bradley Cooper) at the store, they get to talking and he says he works for a record company. He also tells her he is married, because at first he is not intending to cheat on his wife. But his attraction to her grows, as does hers to him. One night after a yoga class, they go to the gym's pool, talk briefly, and then she strips her clothes off and dives in. She then asks if he would like to come in the water as well. Anyway, they do end up having sex, and hiding this from his wife (played by Jennifer Connelly) is putting a major strain on their releationship.

I must point out that in contrast to her Nanny character, Scarlett's character in this movie is more impulsive and less inhibited, so I suppose that explains why she ends up sleeping with a married man who may or may not be able to help her with her singing career.

Anyway, some time later, the two are going into his office, and he locks the door. They discuss how the (whoever does this sort of thing) loved her demo, and she is very excited that her career is getting a shot in the arm. So they proceed to passionately kiss and he gropes her buttocks and begins to remove her dress, as they move over to his desk. She then reveals her magnificent breasts in a sexy red bra, and then he gropes them too. At this point when I was watching the movie in the theatre, I was thinking "OK, NOW I'm getting excited!" However, they are interrupted as his wife knocks on the door, and she wonders why the door is locked. He attempts to regain his composure and motions over for Scarlett to go in the closet, and he practically shoves her in there. So his wife comes in and decides that she wants to seduce him, as their sex life has been nonexistant for a long time. He succumbs, and during this, Scarlett is forced to listen to them while in the closet. Afterwards, the wife leaves, somewhat satisfied. But when he lets Scarlett out of the closet, she is furious, saying that he is a "pathetic excuse for a man" and she ends their affair right there by saying "You will never touch me again!"

All this time, Scarlett's character has been friends with a real-estate agent who is frustrated at her lack of interest in him, romantically and sexually. After breaking up with the record guy, Scarlett goes to the agent and passionately kisses him, and we are led to believe that they do finally have sex. She then, at the end of the movie, decides to not be with a man for a while and talks about going on a yoga retreat to India for six months.

Oh, in case you were wondering about the guy's wife? She was suspecting him of smoking, and whenever she would confront him about it, he would always deny it. But one night she find the cigarettes, and just like Scarlett was, she becomes furious that her husband would lie to her. She throws his clothes out of the closet and smashes a large mirror on the floor. But after she has calmed down, she cleans up the mess, writes a note for him, and leaves. When he comes in sometime later, he finds the note with a carton of his brand of preferred cigarettes. The note reads "Knock yourself out" on the front. And when he flips the top over it then reads "P.S. I want a divorce."

Well, that was a bit of drama right there, wasn't it! Anyway, I was just wanting to compare the two charcaters that Scarlett Johansson had played in two decent movies that I had watched recently. That's all, nothing more!

And if you were wondering if ScarJo ever got a boob job? No, she hasn't, they're all natural, and all spectacular! It's just, like with other women, certain clothes press the breasts down and make them less prominent or visable. And then there are the outfits that leave very little to the imagination. Especially in the summer!

Like I said before, I haven't seen Iron Man 2 yet, but I suspect that she has done a good job of playing Russian super-spy Black Widow. In the Marvel comics, she was a long-time love interest for Tony Stark (Iron Man). But in real life, Scarlett is twenty-something, and Robert Downey Jr is in his mid-forties! Nice work if you can get it, that's what I say!
