Consider it. It begins as a pretty standard story with art malik and then half way through just goes on a tangent with arnie wasting millions and government time to stalk his wife - and nobody questions him. Chasing a motorbike on horseback too, i mean come on. if that isnt quality i dont know what is.

The best ever? That's quite a claim. I'm more inclined to nominate Hitchcock's North by Northwest, but that's just me.

The part where Jamie Lee Curtis drops the gun down the stairs is brilliant in my opinion.

[✌➬]

Where she is stripping had me laughing when I was young. I don't think I could watch it now.

Yeah! She takes out the whole room with that! I'm telling you, North by Northwest needed a scene like that gmku! :P
I didn't know they actually blew up the bridge though - that's pretty insane.
i remember hearing something about Jamie Lee Curtis have too much estrogen or too little, or she's technically a man or something along those lines. Maybe it's why people like her.

[Everyneurotic]

i need to watch it!

jamie lee curtis in halloween H20

 

 

...i don't care what any of you haters say, i would jump in bed with either one of them in a heartbeat...

[drrrtyboots]

I wish this hadn't turned into a jamie lee curtis appreciation thread. True Lies was the first or maybe second R rated movie i'd ever seen, I think it was at a sleepover or something.

[ALIEN ANAL]

theres even subtitles for indie snobs too :P

[m1rr0r dash]

Jamie Lee Curtis
Claim: Actress Jamie Lee Curtis was born with both male and female sex organs.

Status: Undetermined.

Examples:

[Collected on the Internet, 1997]

One story that keeps on circulating around Hollywood is that Jamie Lee Curtis was born an hermaphrodite and had to undergo surgery after birth in order to become legally female! This has been told to me by people who have worked on films with Jamie and by one physician who claims to have seen the records at Cedars Sinai, which leads me to believe, after the whole Richard Gere affair, that Cedars must have a "coffee table" filing system that invites browsing.


[Collected on the Internet, 1997]

Jamie Lee Curtis was born with both sexes . . . that is why her parents chose the name "Jamie Lee", until the surgery could be completed to "make her" a girl.

Origins: What to make of the child of two successful and famous actors who grows up to achieve an equal measure of fame in the same field? What if this gal has a boyish-sounding name and adopts children rather than bears her own?

A rumor, apparently. And not a very nice one. According to an oft-repeated whisper, Jamie Lee Curtis is an intersexual (the preferred medical term for persons of ambiguous gender, replacing 'hermaphrodite').

So? Is she, or isn't she?

 

We may never know. No one but Ms. Curtis, her parents, and her doctors has the definitive answer to this one, and none of them is talking. Curtis has repeatedly declined deigning to provide a response to this rumor, and her physicians — even if they had something to say and wanted to say it — are bound by doctor-patient confidentiality strictures.

This rumor is often lent credibility by people who have heard it repeated as fact by their university professors (especially those with specialties relating to intersexuality). Neither the hearer nor the teller ever seems to be able to provide a credible explanation of how he knows this piece of information to be true, the chain of transmission always tracing back to the notoriously unreliable "Someone else told me about it."

Okay, so we simply don't know. Why, then, is this rumor so widespread?

Two facts lend an aura of credence to the rumor that Jamie Lee was born with both male and female bodyparts. The first is her two-way name: According to the rumor, a boyish appellation was bestowed upon her by parents who hadn't yet decided whether to have a boy or a girl "made" of their baby and wanted to be prepared to go either way, but that wasn't the case of it. Janet Leigh explained how she came to choose the name:

"At that time, we didn't know ahead of time if it would be a girl or a boy, so when I was pregnant with Kelly, my best friend Jackie Gershwin said, "Why don't you call the baby Kelly, so if it's a girl, it works, and if it's a boy, it works?" And she thought the same thing with Jamie. The babies were named before they were born because Jackie said, "This way, we won't have to worry about it!"

If the names were truly chosen before the children arrived, that puts paid to the notion that 'Jamie Lee' was so christened in response to a medical condition that would only have been discovered after her delivery.

The second fact that supports the rumor is Ms. Curtis' own children: They're adopted. Though couples opt for adoptive children over natural progeny for any number of reasons, it is true the operation necessary to correct dual gendering in a female infant would leave her unable to bear children.

Degrees of intersexuality vary in intensity from presence of an additional Y chromosome to being born with a mixed set of genitals. Treatment of cases of blatant intersexuality is generally (but not always) surgical in nature, with reconstruction performed on the infant patient to add or remove body parts so as to end up with a child completely male or female in physical appearance. Hormones are also given towards this end, but there is a limit to what can be corrected medically. Though an appearance of sexual normalcy can be constructed, fully functional reproductive organs cannot.

Intersexuality is a reality; some children are ambiguously gendered at birth. However, one particular point needs to be made, and made quite vehemently: The existence of such medical conditions is not reason in itself to suppose that Jamie Lee Curtis has any of them. Using the one to bolster belief in the second is akin to claiming the existence of the Atlantic Ocean somehow proves a particular ship sank in it.

It is a telling commentary on the skewed importance we give any matter relating to sexuality that this rumor exists at all. Numerous children come into the world less than perfectly formed, yet no stigma is attached to those who require surgery to repair a malfunctioning heart, a disorder of the digestive system, or almost any other condition unrelated to gender. Yet when the question of sexuality is raised, it's all whispers behind hands and meaningful looks.

As only someone who has seen True Lies can say, if that's not all woman, then maybe we need to rethink what is. And while we're at it, let's see if we can't rethink what's a fit topic for gossip and what isn't.
