Nice Gams

Among Empire's gallery of iconic movie role portraits, this shot struck me more than any other. What, honestly, was your first reaction to it? Your second reaction, most likely, was that Daniel Radcliffe is wearing the most complex, adult-seeming, wised-up expression among the three. But initially...?


Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grinch.

initially... I think that Daniel Radcliffe is as blind as a bat without his spectacles and that's what accounts for his quizzical expression.

Wells, you are so full of it. You police the hell out of everyone else for sexist stuff, yet you get a free pass. It's disgusting really.

Good legs.

Legs are still no. 3 on the list of "stuff to ogle," though.

1. Chesticles
2. Arse
3. Legs

You knows it.

Pynchon8: It's not sexist to acknowledge a woman's beauty. Would you rather they all wore burkhas to stop men from having such awful thoughts?

Eloi, men can still have dirty thoughts about women even if a woman covers up in a burqa (or abaya). I've been there before. Just sayin'.

Rupert Grint is so cute. I love redheads *blushes*

Eloi Manning's defense of admiring women as not necessarily being sexist is pretty rich coming right after his post referring to breasts as "chesticles".

This is an incredibly lackluster portfolio. With the exception of Mel Gibson dressed in a suit wearing his Braveheart makeup, none of these would have a chance of making Vanity Fair's annual Hollywood issue. The one of Damon holding the magazine (recalling his iconic fight in The Bourne Supremacy!) is absolutely embarrassing. He looks like he's doing it under court order. To get access all these great actors and to so thoroughly blow it is a real missed opportunity.

I'm surprised because Empire is a great magazine.

Slang words for tits are sexist now, too? Good Christ. Like women would never call a penis a "dick" or "cock". HOW DEGRADING! Won't someone think of the children, etc.

"I'm surprised because Empire is a great magazine."

It was a great magazine, but for most of the past decade it's been nothing more than a shill for the big studio films. I gave up when every month seemed to feature some Lord of the Rings character on the cover for what felt like the entire three-year stretch. That said, it's better than most other print movie magazines by almost by default.

Wells to Pynchon8: It's disgusting to acknowledge great gams? Particularly when the lady in question knows exactly what effect she'll be having by wearing a skirt and sitting a certain way on a bench?

Tell me -- after Gene Wilder watched Marty Feldman slam that huge cast-iron ring against the front door of Castle Frankenstein, and exclaimed "what knockers!" which then prompted Teri Garr to say, "Oh, zank you, doctor"...did you laugh or contort your face in disgust and say out loud, "That's disgusting!"? And then...you know, throw a wad of food at the TV screen?

Not in any way meant as a derogatory remark, but Daniel Radcliffe always comes off to me as incredibly gay. The shirts the dude wears, his overall disposition, etc.

Emma Watson is great. Smart, sexy, she's got it all going on.

'Tis true, Empire has not been decent since probably before The Fellowship of the Ring came out. They used to be a must browse, but have dumbed down big time since blogging took off. Now each cover is devoted to that month's big comic book/action movie release. Back when it was up against Premiere and Movieline, when each were going strong, they had some good articles. But with each Pirates of the Caribbean cover/ Matt Damon interview/ Countdown of Top 50 Coolest One-Liners/Transformers feature, really, what's the point?

Prairie Oysters, I don't think Radcliffe wears specs in real life, the ones he wears in the movies don't always have lenses in them.

I bet Rupert Grint gets the birds in, left, right and centre. He has the look of a satisfied man who's already lived out all his sexual fantasies at the age of 20 or whatever he is now.

Millionaire, famous, young - he's like LexG's role model.

There's an infamous 'getting out of a limo' shot of the remarkable Miss Watson which, if pictures were music, plays like a drum rimshot to this snapshot's bluesy trumpet 'wah wahhhhhhhhh'.

Grinch looks like he knows he's got a choice of dates between three young group gangs of raunchy, besotted, smoking hot females right after the shoot, and is mentally juggling the options like a fat food critic at a Michelin Star restaurant with the newspaper picking up for the tab.

I can't tell what Radcliffe is thinking but I wish I had his bank balance.

Also, it seems like half the women in the country right now are doing a little pants-dance to what's-his-name from New Moon, who is 17, but Wells is "disgusting" for saying Emma Watson has nice legs? That's a ridiculous double standard.

Man, why can't all women STOP AGING around 23, like Highlander or some shit? Gotta love the young stuff.

Note to all parents: Put your kid in theater, movies, commercials or some pop music camp from BIRTH. If your kid is in SAG by age 10, he's SET FOR LIFE.

If you're NOT in SAG by 23, fucking forget about it.

Life is misery. I am so horny I can't even work up the energy to rant about it, but so annoying all these young, good looking kids have THEIR LIFE SET FOR THEM thanks to their idiot stage parents, and the rest of us BROIL IN MISERY at JOBS WE HATE, never having ENTREE to cool clubs, hot women, flash rides, or anything but fucking bills, bankruptcy, underwhelming jobs and never get to fuck models.
