What a clingy broad!


Jordan is the poster child for everything you want to avoid in a woman. Clingy, whiny, annoying, over dramatic, and that is only after a few days of knowing the guy........ If Cocktail was a true story I'm sure Jordan delivered many years of marriage hell.

Darling, you can't rape a townie......

You really think things were so drastically different in 1988?

Did you get a look at her? She could throw a fit everyday and I'd care less.

It's a good thing that Brian owned a bar then.

I have a new philosophy. I'm only going to dread one day at a time.

I couldnt agree any more with the OP. She is everything I despise in a woman. And she is average looking at best. I cant see how anyone could say she is hot. i see far better looking girls stocking about it tracksuits and no make up in the city centre everyday. Its either that or shes not my type, but she definetely isnt a head turner. If you saw her walking on the street in everyday life i garantee those guys who claim she is hot wouldnt even turn their heads or look twice at her. She is not naturally good looking, and she isnt even cute for me. Her hair for a start is horrendous. Imagine having that sweaty horrible annoying perm in your face every time your kissing her. It would drive you insane, and thats just her appearence.

Furthermore her personality is insanely annoying and pathetic. She's clingy, shes needy, she's incredibly insecure and immature, she's too domineering and her judgement sucks. Flanagan is one of the most sleziest, selfish, unredeeming characters ever to appear in film (ill get onto him later in another thread) and she thinks after knowing the guy 2 minutes that he's this wonderful charming future husband who wouldnt look at another woman ever again. Pathetic! It was funny watching her in tears after catching Flanagan at it with the older woman.

Jordan doesnt even care about her friends. After meeting Flanagan, she just completely patches them and spends all her time with him instead! She was also stupid enough to get pregnant after knowing him all of 2 weeks! I also found the scene after the nightclub insufferable watching those 2 suck each others faces off like it was their first kiss in the school playground. It looked like a porn kiss, like the smug Flanagan was going to swallow Jordan whole and vice versa. Disgusting kiss and totally amatuer. also the bit when she says "im not like other woman". We know that. There isnt a woman out there who is as clingy, immature or annoying as you! Just makes her so unattractive and such a turn off. But they go well together. Shes a prick and so is he.

In the end she shames her family by running back to him after him feeding her yet again another pathetic line "ill loved you from the first moment i saw you Jordan". Another one of Flanagan's ultra cheesy lame moves and the gullible insecure Jordan falls for it and comes running back. Then again i dont feel sorry for her father either. Every character in this film is a prick and they dont have one redeeming characteristic between them. Coral, Doug, Dougs wife, Jordan, Jordans dad, Flanagan, you name it. I dont know why anyone else cant see this and swallows what the director gives them without judging for themselves. Those who cant see it lack a bit of intelligence or the gumption/foresight to see and perceive characters outside the box.

Another red flag is when Jordan goes to the bar to thank Brian for helping her friend she obviously goes there because she digs him - nothing wrong with that, lots of women have horrible taste in men. The problem is she only knows him for a total of 30 minutes, and she is already being rude to his friend (Doug) and she is already defending Brian when Doug is breaking his balls a little. I had to laugh at the end when she pretends like she gives a crap that Doug killed himself. She was laughing maniacally on the inside screaming YES! YES! YES!!!!

I would be creeped out if a guy I just met was doing all that, I don't give a damn how good looking he is.

reply

yep. i think she broke one of coughlin's laws there.

you know people are attracted to each other for many reasons and your taste is not universal. it just makes your point diffuse when you mention it.

reply

Amen to that, brutha!

(I also happen to think she is amazingly cute. But those tits!)




I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

Well, the funny thing about her is that she never seems to show anything in her movies - especially this one. All we ever got to see was some truly lovely sideboob. But the bikini she was wearing was so un-revealing, we never see her a$$, she never shows us anything! And she's got the goods, so what's up with that.

So for me, I've always loved that face. Something about her face, her eyes, I've always been soooo attracted to.
