There's something incredibly erotic.....

....and primal about seeing a woman run like Lola. I don't get turned on by seeing them in marathons, at the gym, or watching sprints at the Olympics, but for some strange reason watching Franka book it in this was just arousing as all hell to me. Maybe the way she was dressed? Pumping of the arms? The determination?

Anyone else feel the same, and could maybe put forth a few ideas as to why? I don't think it would've mattered if it were a man or woman actually ('course an attractive woman never hurts), as it was more the base, core nature of it that I found appealing. It's sexy to watch the body coordinate in such unison to one specific goal, and this film exemplifies it perfectly.

I suppose, it's partly because of her ass. It's sexy and as if were deliberately shown in most parts with big scale.

Yea maybe. I think it's just the way she runs, it's not effeminate, it's not masculine, it just is. Almost psychological.

I know what it is after watching it again: the urgency. She's sprinting with a purpose. For some reason I find that a turn-on.

I'm a straight woman and I completely agree with this. She has a great figure and her butt is spectacular. The way she runs is athletic, beautiful and determined - you get the sense that this woman would run through a brick wall if she had to to save Manni. Now...Manni's not worth saving, but I have to admire both Lola's determination and her physique. Wish we saw her in more films.

I wish we saw her butt in more films.

Sorry, the joke was just so easy.

I agree with you. It's not just the figure, it's the determination in the way she runs. And that she's so in shape that even though she's running at absolutely full tilt, she's never really out of breath or even sweaty. Which is of course, ridiculous.

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

I think its because to run like that, in a normal street environment, where you do meet ordinary girls, it shows she is fit, and therefore possibly a good mate (biologically speaking) - good therefore for bearing you offspring (from a Darwinian evolutionary perspective)

she showed that she has the endurance which could come in handy in bed

so many movies, so little time

Nope. It was just you.

Even the still shot of her running in EW (along with a positive review) enticed me to see this moive. And I also have her on the movie poster, even though it's rather out of focus.

WTF? The woman is hideous. Looks like a badly dressed ape with filthy red hair. Filthy as in dreadlocks, smelly, dirty hair.

Well okay then.
