an elaboration of a previous comment

There are more modern ideals of beauty
than yours, young padowan. Jessica has
some assets, that I’ll give you easily,
but in my women I prefer pizzazz.

I don’t want to bring you down, or make you think
that your perfected woman isn’t so.
It’s just that, like Adam said, 2006
has come and gone. What did she do

in that year anyway? IMDB
has, surprisingly, none, though in ’05
she’s in four titles. Sin City
I’ve never seen, although from many I’ve

heard it’s good. But it’s still irrelevant—
no matter how comely, she lacks talent.
