I just saw a commercial for that movie Into The Blue. The gravelly-voiced "in a world" voiceover guy quotes a critic saying "Jessica Alba gives a stunning knockout performance."

Jessica Alba gives a stunning knockout performance? No, Jessica Alba wears a bikini. I mean, yeah, she does that well enough, but come on. Come on, "in a world" guy, don't bullshit us like that.

Men are pigs. Oh wait, I'm one. Nevermind.
 
It makes me think of when they wrote Cordelia out of Angel, and alt.tv.angel was filled with messages vowing a plague on Joss Whedon's house, for doing such a horrible thing to Charisma Carpenter, who is such a "talented" and "classy" actress, with "grace" and, um, "class." There's gotta be a name for this syndrome, whereby a female performer is so hot that people simply assume she can act, and are blind to the fact that she can't. "Man, Natalie Portman is such a Cordelia."
