This is sort of connected but not quite sure how - I watched Paranormal Activity a while back and kept thinking how lovely and real looking the main woman was. A very attractive lady but 'normal' if that makes sense. I looked at the forums on imdb afterwards and there were 100s of threads all of them from men (i assume from the usernames, could be wrong) saying how fat and disgusting this actress was. Really highlighted what we now expect to see on screen in terms of thinness and perfection. Was depressing.
As for horrors, I find horrors from the 1970s/80s terrifying and recently identified that its because the people in them, men and women, are normal. So normal breasts, all shapes and sizes, normal arms/legs cellullite lumps and bumps, whereas todays actresses (especially) are all size 4 with round breasts and are utterly 'perfect'. Noticed it most in the original Friday 13th and then the very poor remake.
No idea where Im going with this, but all these 'beautiful' women make me very ashamed of my size 14 droopy chested body
