Hollywood Forbidden Images

Tarzan: 1934 Nude Swim Scene - Jane Skinny Dipping

I meant to say not too many

I meant to say not too many fake blonds!!!

Since we're going hollywood

Since we're going hollywood I'll be more superficial than usual.

From one Nazanin to another: Most of these people have accomplished AT LEAST TRYING to be entertaining. With low budgets and lots of cultural bagage. So hats off to them all.

BUT observations:

- not ONE single good looking guy in the pictures

- surprisingly, not too many fake blongs

- people dresses pretty regular which is nice to see but I agree some of these women need to lose weight and dress their age.

- damn, I wish I was there. Was there any bezan beraghs? the decor looked like an Iranian wedding it seems like such a crime if there was no traditional "let's drinjk and dance since we're all iranian and there's a dance floor"

- Andy: don't grow the hair

Take it easy :-)

I would like to second what jj and partygril are saying ....... In addition let’s be shallow once in a while and not take ourselves (or life) too seriously. I do not know most of the people in the pictures either but if I did know them I most likely would have been proud of them regardless of what kind of work they have done because I would have known how hard they worked to get where they are. Take it easy! :-)

Vaveyla...

I will never understand why women insist on dressing lokhti pokhti. Most of them of course don't have the body (or age) for it but that doesn't even matter. Even if you're young and beautiful it still is ridiculous. I mean, do men flaunt their physique as soon as there's a party? Imagine if men went around baring limbs and accentuating bulges. Wouldn't that look ridiculous?
I think women look like shit with tons of makeup and hairdo and clothes that are falling off them (they look especially goofy and self-conscious in those). And I am NOT Islamic!

thanks for the pix

I noticed that Omid Djalili has lost a lot of weight... is he allright?

I also agree with Party Girl's input. Not everyone needs to be a political activist to have an impact. Any positive exposure of the successful Iranians can and will make a difference. Hopefully some of these beautiful folks will use their success and their contacts to help out our human rights/anti-war causes.

Long live 6x8

Thanks Nazanin for "you must be kidding".

I know what you are saying, and I say it a lot too. But honestly, entertainers deserve better. We dance to their 6x8 songs in every party. We still enjoy their movies from before the revolution and now with Aghdashlou's success in mainstream Hollywood along with Bob Yari, Omid Djalili and Maz Jobrani and... there's lots of reasons to appreciate their work and say thank you for making us enjoy life and our culture.

The Things I See

I, too, am looking at pictures without captions, but I feel no shame for not recognizing most of these people, nor do I feel the need to be critical.  I see Iranians of all shapes and sizes and ages participating in a cultural event which has taken a lot to organize.  I see people who could have gone to other places and done other things with their time and resoures, but instead chose to participate in an endeavor which honors the hard work of some other Iranians from inside Iran.  I see people who are supporting another venue for dialogue between two nations.

I don't care that there were no captions.  I love these Iranians just the same.

Shame on those

Who don't know these people, shame

Right On Nazanin!!!

You are right on, Nazanin.
Attention Beggars Festival (ABF) was a better title for these unknown/forgotten dummies reunion.
The best movie award went to "Gone With The Time!!"

you must be kidding

Yeah, it is nice to dress up and party...but, the main question remains....what have these people truly accomplished. Anything other than the same lame theatrical performances (except Maz Jobrani), or the same 6x8 music performances with the worst lyrics.
Come on, party, but don't call it an award ceremony!

Pictures without captions

are like headless statues. You have to guess who that body belongs to!!

VIVE LE CINEMA !

Who are all these people?

I don't know what the point is. I don't know any of these people except Maz Jobrani. How about some subtitles so we know what the heck is going on?
