DOM IS SO UGLY
So, some girl claims how Dom is the ugliest ugly that ever uglied on metaquotes. Legions of brave brave people finally come out in replies and agree!

"Finally, someone speaks the truth."

"Oh, my lord - how I wish her post weren't locked, because I so very much agree. Not *so* much on Billy Boyd, who I think is cute (though not particularly hot), but Monaghan - I just. don't. get. it. Ugly Fugly McBugly, with poo on top. Funny? Sure. Good actor? Yeah. Attractive? Can I have some of what you're smoking?"

"I came here from metaquotes and I agree wholeheartedly with this assessment. Plus, he's cross-eyed. And has some rather peculiar vocal intonations. In fact, he is a male Juliet Stevenson."

And so on.

A link to it is posted on Domgasm to the said quote and fangirls laugh it off pretty much.

So, I make a post on my journal about it. The reason I didn't post this on [info]i_wank, is because I wasn't wanking in my mind. I was just saying what I think about beauty. I guess I should have said that it wasn't just about her comment but "Hollywood" standards. Hey, don't blame me I was sedated.

Weird comparisons are made, few people agree blah blah.

[info]voodoo_in_tx makes a post about how wonderful I am, and then alas! Someone shows up with the different opinion, finally.

I am told to drop the "fight" :(

Rather small, but I think she will get frustrated that I am not wanking back. :)

Adequate actor, nothing more.

Does he exceed the sum of his parts? It's all down to personal opinion. I tend to think he doesn't. </i>

Dom may not be the handsomest bloke in the world, but to insult him by saying he looks like Juliet Stevenson? That's just WRONG.

I am deeply, deeply amused that anyone can say a post which contained this:
Dominic Monaghan didn't just fall out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down, he planted the seed for the ugly tree, sat around and waited for it to grow, attempted to climb it at least 10 times but kept falling out and hitting each branch on the way down. When he finally made it to the top, even the ugly tree didn't want him and forced him down and made sure he hit each branch twice. Oh, and Billy Boyd was next to him the entire time. Scary ugly...
was really only someone commenting that Dom wasn't conventionally attractive.

Who's the one on hallucinogenic drugs again?

Oh man
The fangirls leaping to Dom's defense is just too beautiful (in a classic Grace Kelly type of way, as opposed to a non-classical in-the-eye-of-the-beholder LotR form)

I can believe I got a chance to use this icon so soon! I was going to wait for a Dom-centric post on DL_anon to show up, but there you go.

I, for one, love Dom. But I didn't see it until I saw the interviews no the FotR:EE dvd. Then I saw that he was a very funny and charimatic person, became all fangirly in the knees, and have been that way ever since. :D

I know he isn't good-looking in the conventional sense, but just as you said in your lj post, there is more to being an ugly person than physical appearance. I can understand not being attracted to him, but trolling like that chick did was just wanky. Of course if she had just said "I don't what all the fuss is about this Dom guy is" and left it at that. But that wouldn't have been as fun.

oh well. more for me!

I don't think I'll ever understand why people really care that someone else doesn't
find the object of your affection to be the hottest thing on two legs. I mean I'm damn sure I'm the only person who drools over David Thewlis, but that just means the pictures I find of him are less likely to have band-with problems. I'm not about to go try to convert anyone to my side and I've learned to ignore the three thousand "OMG HE IZ SOOO UGLEEE HIZ MUSCHACHE IZ SCARIEER THAN TEH DEMENTORS LOLOLOL!!!111" posts a day. It just seems strange to care so about someone else's taste.

But then again, why not insult the looks of actors and everyone who thinks they're cute?

Ben Affleck has a head like an anvil and the unwarranted smugness of past cinematic greats like Tom Selleck. Brad Pitt's pooched-out mouth makes him look like a simian caveman. Jude Law's sepulchral thinness and under-eye-bags ought to relegate him strictly to roles as undertakers and gravediggers in Tim Burton films. Ewan McGregor has so many moles, they almost obscure enough of his pasty white skin to keep you from being blinded-- but not quite.

With his out-sticking little ears and beady eyes, Eric Bana looks like a shaved mouse on a fuckton of steroids. Ditto lumpy-faced, gravel-voiced Vin Diesel, who always sounds as though he just drank a quart of his last name before attempting to use human speech. I don't understand how anyone can look at Tom Cruise's beaky nose and inch-thick eyebrows without puking. Orlando Bloom looks like he was built by casting agents out of flesh-colored Legos.

Tobey Maguire, Elijah Wood and Jake Gyllenhaal all look like human/frog hybrids whose watery blue eyes are about to pop right out of their boxy misshapen heads. Viggo Mortensen doesn't have any eyebrows-- gross! And Ashton Kutcher's pillowy botox lips and rouged apple cheeks are just plain off-putting.

Oh, and anyone who finds any of the above men appealing in any way? You must be crazy.

Hey, this is fun! I think everyone should join in!

And the wank splooges forth from inside the house.

Don't answer the phone! It might be Dom!

What is WITH these LOTR freaks and their obsessive over-reacting to anything remotely considered criticism of anything nearing the realm of the movie?

This was my mostest favorite comment of the bunch. And so true!

*groan* I am NOT whacking the Metaquotes crew with the mod stick nearly hard enough, am I... Then again, they're funny when they make idiots of themselves. I feel like a harried mother debating whether to cover the wall sockets or let the brat find out about electricity the hard way...

I saw this on metaquotes and knew it was a matter of time until someone objected and the splooge would fly. Personally I don't find any of the LotR hobbit boys to be attractive in any way shape or form, but to each his/her own.

I'm always puzzled by people who don't understand that attractive and sexy don't necessarily have anything to do with beautiful. Such folk seem to have spent way too much of their lives looking at airbrushed magazine images. "Beauty" isn't necessarily attractive at all, in either women or men. I've known absolute knockouts that were about as attractive as water moccasins (no offense to the serpent lovers out there), and butt-uglies who were sexy as anything. Sexiness is a combination of a lot of different things, and while pretty can surely be a part of it and even dominate, its presence is no guarantee of attraction.

Cal said something in a locked post on lj, which she meant to be a funny kind of rant -- it was blowing off steam, and it was in response to a question she'd asked her fl which was basically, "Who do lots of people find attractive, that you think is ugly?" A friend asked her if she could post the quote to metaquotes. She agreed. No big.

And it's not like she's necessarily aware of what metaquotes is. I sure don't, and I've been posted there. You have a friend, in your lj, say, "Ha ha, that's really funny, can I post it somewhere else," so you're flattered and you say yes (the same thing happened to me, recently, with a slam I made on Paris Hilton -- now I'm wondering if the Paris-lovahs are gonna come after me ;) ). But ultimately, it's just her opinion. In the same post, she was talking about how attractive she finds Kevin Smith. CLEARLY the whole "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" concept is one she's well aware of.

Wow. It's really weird to see wank not just POINTED to on fandom_wank, but taking place here.

The "Ugly Tree" quote rocked my world.

It is obviously a different variety than the ugly tree that produced Danny DeVito.

Wank looks like it's coming from both sides of this one. And inside the house, which probably should have been at [info]i_wank because the OP is involved and one of the major players and that is what the community is for. Wank you're involved in, whether you're wanking 'in your mind' or not.

The original quote was overblown and bitchy, but the Dom fangirls repeatedly telling everyone how OMG beautiful and attractive/sexy are not the same thing is pretty tedious. No shit, sherlock, when did anyone say different? The metaquotes quotee never said he couldn't be attractive to someone, she just said he wasn't beautiful. Albiet in a shit-stirring way.

I don't think Dom's beautiful. Or attractive. Or in the tiniest, microscopic bit sexy. I also think his singing voice is one of the reasons that God kills kittens. He can act well and seems to have a reasonably pleasant personality so I imagine he's a pretty nice guy and fun to hang around, but I'd much rather have sex with Chow Yun Fat. Who isn't beautiful either, but I find pretty damn sexy. And I can accept that millions of other people don't and most likely never will.

More for me.

Okay, I got something here that should end this WHOOOOOOLE thing! *rolls eyes*

In Billy's own words:

"And we're handsome for God's sake. [points to Dominic] Look how pretty this man is!"

Now who in their right mind is gonna argue with someone who had to spend over a year and a half straight working with the guy? And Billy Boyd himself of all people!

So there ya have it! ^_^

Post was made to be funny, points off for not making me chuckle but everyone who keeps insisting on bringing up the "she's shallow and evil" side is even less funny. This does belong in [info]i_wank. And if a poster told me that liking Kermit the frog meant I was on drugs then I'd just make a quip about licking hallucinogenic toads and be done with it.

Just remember, you're not supposed to wank when Muppets are around.

Yeah, Cal here. The girl who is evil and mean! Please! Give me a break. I ranted in my journal about at least 20 different actors during this post. A friend asked me if she could pull the Dom quote because she got a kick out of it. I didn't think it would turn into this big deal because I thought people would realize it was a JOKE. It wasn't meant to be serious. I wasn't slamming anyone. I WAS JOKING. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever come across in my life.

... I find it particularly interesting that the ones that are saying "What's the big deal?" to that quote just happen to also be the ones that don't find Dominic Monaghan sexy.

Personally, I found that quote to be intensely obnoxious, but otherwise? Meh. Fangirls. Just too fixated on the pretty, on average. Hell, female fans in general. Not that it's a bad thing! Really!

So, let me get this straight.

Someone pulls a quote to metaquotes that flings hyperbole at the entity "you". Fangirls locate themselves inside the "you", even though they have no idea of the original context, and proceed to freak the fuck out.

If Lincoln was quoted over there, I guess we'd have fangirls wanking about how their father wasn't even *alive* four score and 7 years ago?

You guys realize on this post you've become the place to go to point and laugh, rather than telling us where the wank is, right? Because this has to be the lamest entry here that I've ever seen. She's saying she finds an actor ugly, and that's wank-worthy? I think the people taking one humorous quote and using it as their basis to lecture fandom on inner beauty and proper ways in which to criticize actors is wankier than any "ugly" rant could ever be.
