The twins - whose fame started as babies on the TV sitcom "Full House" - will become legal adults today. And with the new age comes full control of about $300 million in assets. By the time they turn 21, Forbes magazine estimates, this duo will be worth $1 billion. Source

Must be rough [Smile]

Looking at the linked 'count down sites' I found out that only 3 years, 43 weeks, 5 days, 19 hours, 29 minutes, and 25 more seconds until Emma Watson (Harry Potter) turns 18. These pedophiles need to be stopped.

Good. When do they retire? [Razz]

Legal to do what, Richard, act in porn? Yes, that comes with attaining age 18. If you just mean legal age of consent for sex only a small portion of US states set that at 18. The majority are 16 and some are 17. Here is info about the US and most other countries. I've no idea why people think 18 means "legal" when in most cases they had that status years earlier.

Nate: Pedophile isn't really accurate since that would be someone attracted to prepubescent children. (The term is mis-used in the media all the time.) I don't think they'd want Emma anymore since she's well on her way to physical maturity. There is a term which I cannot remember which is the equivalent of "teen-o-phile" but it is rarely used, perhaps because it's not psychologically aberrant to find attractive someone who is young but physically an adult with curves in all the right places.

Oh boy Richie, I wonder what Ms Cook will have to say about this.

Posted by Brad Miller (Member # 2) on 06-13-2004, 04:02 PM:

I'm going to be an ass here for a second because this thread seems to rank right up there for the most useless award.

Richard, do you really think you will ever go out on a date with either or both of the Olsen twins, much less have sex with them? For that matter, do you ever think you will even be in the same room with one of them? Seriously, get over it. It doesn't affect you in the least bit. [Roll Eyes]

BTW have you ever considered changing your signature to "I just don't want to get sued" ? [Big Grin]

Posted by Phil Hill (Member # 371) on 06-13-2004, 04:29 PM:

So Brad, how do you *REALLY* feel about this thread?

Gosh Richard, that makes 4 people happy.... you, both of the twins, and their agent.

Whenever I think "Olsen" I think of those ugly little trolls on Full House or whatever show they were on. Yes, they actually looked like those troll dolls! They're better now, but really not my type. [av=d]

21 Jump Street kicked Full House's ass! Hell that show had Johnny Depp and, um, Richard Greco!

Posted by Pravin Ratnam (Member # 1417) on 06-13-2004, 06:06 PM:

I still think of the Olsen twins as lil kids. I cringe whenever guys my age group do this countdown. Since Greco is closer to their age, it is not big deal to me. But man, your timing sucks because not too long ago you pinpointed that Emma Watson will become a hottie, and now rejoice Olsen Twins birthday. The two posts back to back - A lil creepy. People speculating about Lohan's fake or real rack for some reason doesnt creep me out because she doesn't look underage I guess.

But yeah, I agree creepiness doesnt equate to pedo in my view. WHat is real icky is some adults commenting on how hot the Whalerider chick will be or even Emma Watson who still looks like a tomboyish cute lil kid to me.

The term 'jumped the shark' seems appropriate to those homely little girls.

Well they may be fairly useless from an entertainment standpoint, but "homely" they are definitely not. You don't have to be a weirdo to see this. I may be 47 but I have: (A) a good memory and (B) good eyesight.

Posted by Richard Greco (Member # 2032) on 06-13-2004, 09:52 PM:

Brad, I actually was in the same room with them.
They did a press thing in Tampa a while back. They are really short.

I said that they are legal because, everywhere I go on the net, that's what the countdowns say. Honestly, I really don't want to see them naked. I grew up with them on Full House. That would be too creepy seeing Michelle Tanner posing in playboy.

No, I don't ever think I will date them..I will also never nor want to have sex with them. I just think they are hot. I have a lot of respect for them for what they made for themselves. They are self made millionaires. They are producers, and fasion designers, and now CEO's of their own company. That's pretty cool to me.

As far as Emma Watson goes, I have never had a bad thought about her. She is WAY too young. There has been numerous times when I see high school aged girls that look attractive. I know they are too young and I don't think anything more about it. Please don't accuse me of anything like that. It isn't cool.

A.J. Cook is still hot, but she pretty much dropped out of the lime light.

Now, the Lindsay Lohan countdown is one to look forward to. She turns 18 when I turn 21.

Among the young actresses mentioned I'd say that while the Olsens are cute and all, I don't think they're all that fabulous. BTW they are not identical twins. I do have a lot of respect for whomever was advising them in their careers as they did make quite a bundle on those made-for-video kiddy movies. But some of the others mentioned are more attractive.

I was about to ask whatever happened to Anna Chlumsky (remember "My Girl" ?) but IMDb says she graduated from the University of Chicago (a rather prestigious institution) and now works for Zagat in NYC. Boy does that make me feel old. And out of show business the scribbles she did on an ADR script that I saved aren't going to appreciate in value! [Frown]

Mike, apparently you DO NEED glasses! [Razz]

I agree with Joe...Troll-city! Think of those troll dolls from the 80's and you WILL see the resemblance...

Posted by Joe Redifer (Member # 3) on 06-13-2004, 10:42 PM:

Yes, trolls indeed.

Posted by Ron Yost (Member # 1850) on 06-13-2004, 10:56 PM:

Trolls! That's it exactly. You guys are brilliant!

I do remember, though, they were on a TV show with a redhead BABE who played their housekeeper. Their 'dad' was a professor, and the r.h. was one of his students, if I remember correctly. That wasn't too bad and was pretty well written .. except the redhead didn't get enough screen time. (So as to not upstage the OT's, no doubt.) [Big Grin]

Does anybody think that "Mary Kate & Ashley Olson, Inc." will risk the gozillions of dollars they rake in as "teen idols" for some cheap tit shots in a magazine?! They have FAR too much to lose if they did.

I don't think you'll see more than a bare midriff, if that, on either one of them for a long time to come. Maybe in another 15 years after their popularity wears off... maybe... right after monkeys fly out of my ass!

Look what happened to Elizabeth Berkeley. One naked part in a movie and she's poison for the rest of her life!

Gawd I love SHOWGIRLS! She was hot. [evil]

Come to think of it, it is strange she hasn't been in other films. What a shame.

The 80s troll dolls were a return of the same troll dolls from the 60s, only in fewer sizes, models, & disturbing hair colors. I'll bet not a lot of the original 60s runs of troll dolls survive, because the rubbery plastic they were made of at that time deteriorated quickly. I remember seeing troll dolls that were only a few years old that looked like they had developed huge pores & cystic acne & leprosy scars, as well as gross cracks. The next stage was looking like the nazis at the end of Raiders of th Lost Ark or Vincent Price in The Case of M. Valdemar.

haha.. ok.. i was compelled to hunt for my mom's old troll...
It's got DAM stamped on its back.. and is NOT melting in any way.
gawd, this thread has gone in strange directions.

Hahahaha Danny! That is sooo funny! I have the same one but with blue hair! Ummm... my mom gave it to me...since I'm NOT that old! [Wink]

Phil - too late, I already HAVE glasses. (Well, OK, contacts.) Probably need bifocals soon. It's hell getting old(er).

Posted by Jesse Skeen (Member # 586) on 06-14-2004, 01:41 PM:

Gotta put in my 2 cents here- the thing I find creepy about them is that they've been in show business literally since they were babies. How'd they get into that and stay there as long as they have? Sounds like a sci-fi movie script- "They were bred and born to be superstars!" [Razz]

Posted by Robb Johnston (Member # 239) on 06-14-2004, 08:40 PM:

I don't know about troll's, but they definately look like Jan Hooks from SNL, especially whichever one now has brown hair. But the Jan Hooks thing was really eerie when they were on the finale of SNL this season.
