FILM THREAT'S FRIGID 50: THE COLDEST PEOPLE IN HOLLYWOOD 2008

Originally ran on FilmThreat.com on 11/18/08It's Fall, so it must be time to check the value of all the players in Hollywood. Power list after ranked power list will find their ways online (remember when they used to be in print!?!), none of them based on anything beyond some box office success and sex appeal. The former being no way to judge quality, the latter being subjective at best. We here at Film Threat aren't above the Fall list fever, however. In fact, we have an annual list of our own – The Frigid 50: The Coldest People in Hollywood. Unlike those other lists that brown-nose their way into some pampered celebrity's good graces, the Frigid 50 is a written declaration of who or what in Hollywood needs a reality check, detailing the least-powerful, least-inspiring, least-intriguing people in all of Tinseltown. Before a career is over (or in some cases, immediately after), it finds itself sitting in Frigid 50 territory. Unplug the Hollywood "Power" lists and enjoy Film Threat's Frigid 50: The Coldest People in Hollywood 2008! Get the list in part two of FILM THREAT'S FRIGID 50: THE COLDEST PEOPLE IN HOLLYWOOD 2008>>>

Spike Lee needed to be on the Frigid 50. Christina Ricci's true anti freeze would be to get her bobbies back. Otherwise, top notch stuff. |

FT is correct about Ledger. These actors are destroying their talents, their careers and in some cases, their very lives - all in pursuit of the high (and the low). Ledger's daughter will never know her father and that IS a tragedy for her, for her mother and for Ledger's family. There are so many options available to stars today; and not just inpatient rehab - there are addiction therapists, suboxone/subutex treatments, sober coaches/companions and lots of other alternative therapies as well. To have a problem and to refuse to deal with it, thereby causing yourself and your family such suffering IS stupid and Ledger deserves to be number one on this list, dead or not. |

Once again, another BS list; no Spike Lee, Eddie Murphy, Eva Longboria, or Chevy Chase? Has Obama taken over this site already? |

Kinda felt it was Nicholas Cage's year to take number one, I don't think he has sucked anymore than he has this year. And to suck more than he has sucked before...well I'm sure you'll all agree that's a hell of an achievment. |

Inside the minds of the Film Threat brain trust:
Hmm...how can we keep our Frigid 50 list devoid of any content or insight while still inciting enough hollow controversy so that people may actually read it? Claim that Heath Ledger was overrated? No, that's not nearly indie enough. Take the Nancy Reagan route and equate his crippling addictions with a kid who keeps sticking a fork in a light socket? Now we're cookin' with gas! Throw in the same tired Nick Cage jokes and blame our entire readership for the popularity of Beverley Hills Chihuahua and we got ourselves a winner, folks!
Another banner day for the cheap misanthropy and ho hum boo-hooery of the venerable Film Threat dot com. |

And yes, I mean Ricci's "boobies," not her bobbies. |

Ah, "The Frigid 50," our annual reminder that, oh yeah, Film Threat still exists. Yes, the sad online remnant of a failed Clinton-era film mag is still churning out the sub-"Best Week Ever"-level snark in 2008 -- seemingly WAY past its expiration date. You can't get much more frigid than that.
What's even sadder is that this article is pretty much the norm for the way movies and movie stars are discussed online. It seems like 90% of online film geeks are trying desperately to channel the spirit of either: (a) David Spade, (b) Mr. Blackwell, (c) a particularly vicious and gossipy old drag queen, or (d) the snottiest girl they can remember from high school. Online film fans should demand better than this. |

WORST. LIST. EVER!!! (even Mr. Blackwell's recent lists weren't this weak-ass, and he put ALISON ARNGRIM on his last one!) |

Wondering whose family that is pictured in #10...I'm guessing Vonder Haar's, and that it was taken in the last year! |

Seriously, how in the hell has Britney Spears NEVER made this assbag list? Don't tell me me the FT staff feels sorry for this used bag of refuse, or heaven forbid, actually be fans of hers- as if that could even be possible! |
