Loved this movie to death. The best of the year so far in my opinion.

finally got around to seeing this excellent movie.

if you're implying that SJ was fat in this, I may have to ask you to step outside, sir. She was gorgeous.

Also, for people saying that the movie didn't spell out that she was definitely an alien...well it doesn't really explain anything about anything which is part of its brilliance.

However, there's the scene at the beginning in white space where SJ strips another girl and puts on her clothes. Immediately after that you see a shot of a tall building with lights hovering above it in the sky. The lights swirl around and then move off into the clouds. The next shot is SJ coming down the staircase and exiting the building. The implication was pretty obvious I thought.

If an actress is not anorexic with no breasts or ass, Stewie calls her fat. He lamented the prospect of Anne Hathaway being a "fat Catwoman" at 5' 7" and 150 pounds (Hathaway slimmed down to 125 pounds, which sated him), finds Christina Hendricks disgusting, and considers Mila Kunis's 8 year old boy body a paragon of feminine sexuality.

This guy's analysis of Under the Skin is pretty rudimentary, but his video about Only God Forgives was quite revealing.
