Maybe you don't see this distinction, but I bet all the male (and perhaps female too) members here who have watched both films, perfectly know what I'm talking about.

I don't know that you can really speak for all the men and women on this site. That's rather assumptive of you, but I'm beginning to form the opinion that being assumptive is your particular m.o. Again, I don't really differentiate between "beautiful" and "hot." I look at attributes in people that I find
attractive, which usually include their spirit, passion, personality, world view, talent, creativity and personal style, and are not limited to their physical appearance.
I'll give you an analogy. What I sense you're saying here is that the only kind of pizza that's any good is made with pizza sauce, cheese and pepperoni. If it comes delivered in a cardboard box, it's great. If it comes delivered in a cardboard box and a thermal bag, it's great and hot. Never mind that there are
many other ways to make a pizza, you're going to stick with your assessment that pepperoni pizza is best. Wouldn't you say that's kind of limiting? You're limiting your experience of...oh, say, margherita pizza, Thai chicken pizza, roasted vegetable pizza, dessert pizza...simply because pepperoni is best. You're so focused on the pepperoni and what kind of box it comes in that you're missing out on a lot of other wonderful things.
