Lesbian Scientistics: the females in this summer's hottest films

by
StuntDouble

We're halfway through summer movie season, and it is time once again to employ Lesbian Scientistics to determine which summer blockbuster star is the most kissable, and what exactly goes into lip appeal. (CAUTION: The findings below are fraught with SPOILERS.)

Step 1) Ask a question. Does a woman's bad-assness effect her kissability?

Step 2) Observe. I will profile each woman to garner an accurate portrait of her bad-assness, paying special attention to whose ass she kicks, what she kicks ass with, and what she wears to hand out said ass kickin'.

Anna Popplewell/Susan Pevensie, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Enemies: Telemarines, the misogyny of C.S. Lewis.

Allies: 2 Sons of Adam, 1 Daughter of Eve.

Uniform: Chainmail, leather corset.

Weapons: See pie chart.

Sarah Jessica Parker/Carrie Bradshaw, The Sex and the City Movie

Enemies: Big, Mr.

Allies: Samantha, Miranda, Charlotte.

Uniform: Fraggle-fur shawl.

Weapons: See pie chart.

Angelina Jolie/Master Tigress, Kung Fu Panda

Enemy: Ninja snow leopard Tai Lung.

Allies: Ninja snake, ninja monkey, ninja praying mantis, ninja(ish) panda bear.

Uniform: Ninja pants, ninja vest.

Weapons: See pie chart.

Anne Hathaway/Agent 99, Get Smart

Enemies: Kaos.

Allies: Agent Michael Scarn.

Uniform: Black leather pants, jacket.

Weapons: See pie chart.

Cate Blanchett/Irina Spalko, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Enemy: Jones, Indiana. Capitalism.

Allies: Stalin.

Uniform: Grey wool KGB jumpsuit.

Weapons: See pie chart.

Step 3) Form a hypothesis. Hypothesis: The more bad-ass a woman is, the more kissable she will be.

Step 4) Test hypothesis with experiments and further observation. I will calculate each woman's Bad-ass Vector by plotting her place on a Cartesian Coordinate Graph, and then compare that to her place on the Histogram of Kissability.

Step 5) Form a Conclusion. Anne Hathaway's Agent 99, the baddest-ass woman according to my research, is much more kissable than Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw, the lamest-ass woman according to my research. Therefore it would appear that being a bad-ass makes a women more kissable. However, there were many "-isms" that kept the control group from being an accurate sample. I will have to add to my control group: Angelina Jolie in Wanted, Maggie Gyllenhaal in The Dark Knight, and The Sisters of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 once their movies hit theaters later this summer to gain an accurate understanding of bad-assness as a predictor for kissability.

Do any of you have thoughts based on your own research?

    I agree with the results, and hope you add Gyllenhaal to the control.

    I don't think being a card-carrying Commie is cause for elimination, being a murdering pyschopath might be, but surely you can't discount someone for their political beliefs.

    Anna Popplewell is older than me, totally kissable. And have you seen her lips, goodness. Other than that I agree, I think Maggie will beat out Angie for me: guns are great but did you see Maggie in Secretary, mm mmm mmm.

    That is mighty impressive. I have never seen pie/graph charts used in such a manor. I would have paid more attention in math if they were used that way. This is best thing I have read all week!

    I felt very creepy watching Narnia, especially since Susan is really only supposed to be 14 or 15 in that story. Maybe 16 at the most. So being distracted by those lips was just.... wrong! Thankfully, she's turning 20 this year, which is still awful, but not illegal. I've managed to get over feeling gross about Natalie Portman. heh.

    I think it's also fair enough to be nostalgic for last summer and the kissability there.

    Michelle Pfeiffer, Claire Danes and Kate Magowan in Stardust. Kate Magowan! Where has she been? When can we see her again? And you have to love a girl who lures strangers into her super hot gypsy wagon to have her way with them.

     

    Keira Knightley in Pirates. Definitely bad-ass.

    It's a stretch for summer, but oh god, Lena Headey in 300. Just go do an image search on that. Happiness.

    As for Irina Spalko, Cate is hot. Irina Spalko is a little scary. Hot, but I'd want to keep my distance. Marion... no longer badass.

    Keep up the awesome lesbian scientistics!

    Ageism be damned!  Anna has the most kissable lips of them all.  Yeah, I'd kiss her.  Well, maybe after she turned 18.

    Master Tigress? Seriously? Because Angelina in 'Wanted' wasn't hot or kissable enough?

    Was it because you were rooting for Agent 99? Not that I blame you, I would too. :)

    That arrow-wielding girl was so hot until I realized she was Susan. Narnia, somehow, is completely asexual, and not just because C.S. Lewis was a big ole religious man.

    I think I want to be Cate Blanchett's character more than I want to kiss her. But I would definitely kiss Anna from Narnia. She has a Bow and arrow and she's wearing a leather corset for christ's sake, and look at her lips, and she's beautiful. Plus she's exactly my age:)

    i'd definitely be willing to overlook the communism for irina spalko. :)

     

    and anna's older than i am, so technically i am immune, and therefore given permission to ogle those lips.

    Okay, if you haven't seen Anna Popplewell a.k.a Susan Pevensie rip-roaring with her bow and arrows you haven't lived...well...through this movie season that is.

    Seriously I have never been so attracted to a movie-girl as I have seeing Popplewell pull of a couple of well-aimed shots and look sexy as hell while she's doing it! Also, chain looks good on her. So would I for that matter... ;)

    Anywho. Susan = melt!

    My conclusion is more testing is needed.

    these "mock-tistics" should be a weekly thing. I saw the other article that had the pie charts and such and they crack me up. Highly entertaining :0). Oh and Susan, Anna Popplewell, is 19 making her legal and not out of age range for some ;0)
