Jamie Lee Curtis has always been amazing.

[–]scullys_alien_baby 186 points187 points  (16 children)

As someone who has crushed on her for decades, I really love that she turned out to also be a wonderful mother

[–]sw04ca 282 points283 points  (13 children)

Yeah. There was some tension there for a while, but after the body-swapping event everything ended up fine.

    Pretty sure it was a troublesome Thursday.

    [–]dirt_shitters 10 points11 points  (0 children)

    I'm almost positive it was a trippy Tuesday.

    [–]TheLastLivingBuffalo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

    Good thing it ended up being a Frivolous Friday or else it would have been a real disaster.

    [–]VeraVicious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    Come on guys it was a sick Saturday

    [–]Ericthenewwb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Ahem… THroublesome Thursday

      Saying “everything ended up fine” after what happened with Lindsay Lohan’s life after Freaky Friday indicates to me that your definition of “fine” should be revised.

      [–]cylonlover 1 point2 points  (2 children)

      what happened with Lindsay Lohan’s life after Freaky Friday

      ?

      [–]scullys_alien_baby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      She’s a massive disaster of a person, likely because she was thrust into fame as a child star

            Trading places and a fish called Wanda and I had to go to the bathroom for 15 seconds.

            [–]velvet42 12 points13 points  (4 children)

            A Fish Called Wanda is one of my favorite movies, so quotable. "And when he found out your daughter's name was Portia snicker he said... 'Why did they name her after a car?' 🤣"

            [–]Fickles1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

            I love how the dogs get systematically murdered. Now normally that would be absolutely horrid but the black humour of those scenes is on point.

            Yes they do Otto. They just don't understand it .

            [–]velvet42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

            Now let me correct you on a few things. Aristotle...was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not every man for himself. The London Underground is not a political movement. Those are all mistakes Otto. I looked them up.

            Hahaha, a friend of mine in college and I discovered that we could recite this entire scene verbatim. The first time it happened was spontaneous, just talking about funny movie quotes with friends

            [–]my7bizzos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

            Dude she still is hot as fuck. She looks so good that it kinda made me uncomfortable. Like she's in her 60s. Wtf.

            [–]GBuster49 5 points6 points  (0 children)

            Love that she did that stunt where she was holding on for dear life in the helicopter/bridge scene.

            [–]AvgHeightForATree 5 points6 points  (0 children)

            Reminds me of that green text about Arnold having to suppress his bloodlust due to Jamie Lee Curtis gyrating her “goblin-like form” on the set of true lies.

            [–]ChicaSkas 259 points260 points  (16 children)

            This looks photoshopped in the face somehow

            [–]invigaronberries 71 points72 points  (1 child)

            It’s a darkroom technique called “burning and dodging.” You have tools that block the light shining through the negative onto the paper. In this case her face was dodged so her features could be seen better, likely to counter shadows on a sunny day. Burning and dodging is very apparent and the sign of a photographer that didn’t light properly.

            [–]AJlenser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

            This topic had me re-view the image where, of course, the dodging is obvious.

            But I then noticed how ungainly her right arm appears, so broad at her shoulder, then foreshortened back to her wrist, it looks like a ham. Not good posing.

            [–]Tuna_Surprise 22 points23 points  (0 children)

            It looks like they overexposed the face so that it doesn’t look like it’s in the shadow. You could do that in a darkroom in the 80s before photoshop

            [–]Buckeye_Country 137 points138 points  (3 children)

            It's not photoshop. The effect you're noticing is happiness because this picture was taken before all the constipation problems.

            [–]FrogBoglin 43 points44 points  (2 children)

            Hers or mine?

            [–]Revolutionary_Elk420 29 points30 points  (0 children)

            Yeah looks so weird to me like a shop too! I wonder if it was a professional shot with old school editing done which now looks really obvious in our days of photos hop etc gone by?

            [–]yogorilla37 12 points13 points  (3 children)

            Her face has been exposed more, burning in development parlance. A bit too much in my opinion...

            [–]humaneWaste 10 points11 points  (2 children)

            Dodged, not burned.

            [–]yogorilla37 6 points7 points  (1 child)

            Ah, you're absolutely correct, here I am thinking burn = more exposure = brioghter image, forgetting about the whole working from a negative thing.

            [–]majordoobage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

            Actually looks photoshopped in the arms to me. Well one arm anyway.

            [–]NorvalMarley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

            If you pan down to the chest you can see that, in fact, it is Jamie Lee Curtis

            [–]StuTheBassist 218 points219 points  (14 children)

            Am I too high or does it look like her face was photoshopped onto that face

            [–]Ogmono 60 points61 points  (2 children)

            I was thinking the same thing. Its like the face has no light variation or depth.

            [–]StuTheBassist 14 points15 points  (1 child)

            K I'm actually relieved it wasn't me lol

            [–]lanturn_171 25 points26 points  (2 children)

            There's a tool in Photoshop called "Dodge" which lightens the part of an image as you mouse-click over it.

            It's based on an actual technique back in the days of film and dark rooms where you expose a film negative onto light-sensitive paper. You wave this circle-on-a-stick tool to under-expose, and thus make lighter, parts of a photo.

            This photo looks like that was done.

              They could still do dodging and touch ups before digital film!

              Even from her early 20s she's looked like the hottest 40 year old mom at the PTA meeting.

              [–][deleted] 104 points105 points  (2 children)

              That's not Jamie Lee Curtis. The real Jamie Lee Curtis has hot dog fingers.

              First movie I saw her in was Halloween

              [–]u9Nails 10 points11 points  (3 children)

              I remember her being called the Screem Queen after that movie. I'm happy for her that she had range and broke into other movies.

              [–]MontyBodkin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

              I watched an old Charlie's Angels episode where she is a golf pro who was getting death threats and she and Cheryl Ladd end up in a creek wrestling alligators.

              In an interview she did decades later, she said despite Halloween being a huge hit, nobody in Hollywood was calling, so she took the part in desperation.

                [–]harpsandcellos 20 points21 points  (3 children)

                If anyone is interested, her parents were Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis. The 1953 movie, "Houdini" starred both of them, their first success.

                Tony went on to star in "Some Like it Hot" (1959) with Marilyn Monroe. Later he played Antoninus in "Spartacus" (1960).

                Janet Leigh is best known for portraying Marion Crane in "Psycho" (1960).

                Obviously those three later films are considered classics, but my favorite will always be Houdini.

                Edit- I originally said he was cast as Spartacus. Oops!

                [–]depotboy 7 points8 points  (1 child)

                Later he played the titular role in "Spartacus" (1960).

                That was Kirk Douglas. Curtis played Antoninus. Just watched it last night so it's fresh on my mind.

                  The fact that she's been married to Christopher Guest for a long time plus the fact that she pursued him after seeing his pic in a magazine makes her seem so cool.

                      The lighting is just so odd and the pose isn’t helping. Her face is so much lighter than any part of her body so that’s why it looks off.

                      It's the bright light + the b/w aspect of it I think

                        What’s cool about this?

                        Oddly she got hotter as she got older. True Lies would’ve been a sexual awakening if I were old enough to understand what I was seeing.

                        …my parents kinda dropped the ball letting me see that so young.

                        The perfect body, folks.

                        There's just enough Ron Howard in that face to be creepy. I'm not the only one to see it, and now you can't unsee it.

                        Yep. Was the first thing I noticed too. Great body but not a huge fan of her face.

                        She should have had big leading roles.

                        Calling it this is some bad YouTube social experiment thing to get some dumb channel to make a bad click bait title for “how I got a badly photoshopped picture on to the front page of Reddit”
