Powder Blue is one of the most depressingly bad movies ever made. Every decision — from the screenplay to the acting to the visual palette — is a cynical calculation based on an uncomfortable amalgam of several other much better movies. The characters are manipulated ciphers, their stories are emotional copycats, and the film is an ugly, wretched bit of sanctimony. Of course the film purports to be about finding hope in the unlikeliest places, but I found absolutely none, except when the credits started rolling … Most grievously insulted is Biel, who fulfills many lecherous fantasies by briefly exposing her breasts in a scene where she writhes on a strip club stage and splashes hot candle wax on her body while crying. This was no doubt intended to be an Oscar-worthy moment of bravery, but instead it’s an embarrassing display of directorial exploitation and a waste of acting goodwill.
Just one of many absolutely scathing reviews of the new Jessica Biel flick, Powder Blue. We’ve got a link to the super-fun candle wax/crying clip here.
It seems to be a part of the leg missing there… As if it isnt part of the same body at all..
What’s wrong with that wrist?
I went back and looked at it after your comment and you’re right! It is so jacked up. HAHAHA
Poor Forest Whitaker that 1. he did this movie and 2. he did it with Jessica Biel
You guys, we should send it in! http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com/

THANK YOU for introducing me to this blog!
You bet your sweet ass. I think I just read Evil Beet, Photoshop Disasters, and Cake Wrecks. I feel life is pretty complete.
Hehe that one is a favorite of mine to :)
Taking another look at it I wonder what happend to the hand to.. Something is really wrong with that picture.
i have resisted jessica beil until now…but i have to say lately i am so attracted to her. but if i was justin t. who has a whole shitty clothing line and staying away from music thing going, and he could steal giselle bunchen and salma hayek away from their husbands. but he has to be questioning his choice in a woman;
isn’t the moment britney jumped the shark when she made that joke of a movie crossroads? at least she didn’t show her cooch to the planet, and he still left her
Wow, erm, so after watching the clips I can only sumize that this isn’t one of those fun strip joints like say, the Bada Bing, huh???? Those were the most depressing nude clips ever!!! Even the fact that her bod is absolutely smokin’ hot doesn’t make it worth the 6 minutes of my life I just wasted watching the clips!
And the soundtrack will be fun time too, I bet! ::rolls eyes::
Her arms (her shoulders in particular) are far too manly. Sorry, but I prefer women to look like women instead of men.
Nobody has mentioned the most egregious travesty of all, which is that this horrible scene is acted to the music of Cat Power, who is so not-egregious as to be some kind of musical goddess.
Who cares about Jessica? I’m sad that Forest Whitaker is in such an apparently horrible movie.
