No, this is not a post that declares my love for her but I actually have a question. Jenny Flex is obviously supposed to be a double entendre (as witnessed by Roger Moore's "Of Course you Are") but I don't get the double part? What is the other meaning of that name I'm just not picking up on? Can anyone shed some light on this?

    It sounds close to the word genuflect, though I fail to see any humor there. Curious though--you had listed this as one of the funniest moments in the movie and now you re asking what the meaning is???

    Oooh, now you've found the skeletons in my closet! Agh! Anyway, I believe it's funny because of the reaction and how she struts down the stairs and how no one seems to react to the alleged "double entendre" but I don't get the humor.

    And yes, it does sound like genuflect but last I checked I didn't see her randomly praying in any scenes of the movie! I don't think she ever genuflected either!

    are there actully two meanings to the name?

    Jenny flex in terms of a sexual aspect but there isnt anything else.

    Its like other names in the JB series, Pussy Galore, Onnatop, Holly Goodhead etc all mean one thing.
    1. TWINE 2. FYEO 3. MR 4. TLD 5. TSWLM 6. OHMSS 7. DN 8. OP 9. AVTAK 10. TMWTGG 11. QoS 12. GE 13. CR 14. TB 15. FRWL 16. TND 17. LTK 18. GF 19. SF 20. LaLD 21. YOLT 22. NTTD 23. DAD 24. DAF. 25. SP

    Jenny Flex?? Oh, right, the ugly chick in AVTAK. No idea about her name.

    I'm sorry, my eyes were playing tricks on me, what did you just say?

    I was always under the impression that it was a playful twist on the word 'genuflects"...in a sense, meaning that she would do whatever a man would want her to do. Big letdown for me in AVTAK was that Bond seemed more interested in the manly Mayday than the lovely Alison Doody. :#

    Does anyone (JFF) have knowledge on Alison doddy playing Naricssa Malfoy in Harry Potter 6?
  • JennyFlexFanJennyFlexFan Posts: 1,497MI6 Agent
    She's rumored to, that's all I know sadly. :( There's nothing official to say she's being considered but the rumor had to start from somewhere.
  • taitytaity Posts: 702MI6 Agent
    Wow thats some fast work. She'd be the right age, right nationality and the right amount of known/unknown to fit the role.

    But then again, Rosamun Pike was penned down for Rita Skeeter
  • JennyFlexFanJennyFlexFan Posts: 1,497MI6 Agent
    And the roles of Jenny Flex and Elsa, both cold-hearted and evil![\i] roles couldn't harm her in the quest for Narcissa. She also looks exactly like what I'd picture Narcissa, a regal, statuesque blonde with a sexy accent. ;)

    I hope she gets it.
  • HardyboyHardyboy Posts: 5,906Chief of Staff
    Interesting. . .I'd actually heard that Naomi Watts would be playing Narcissa, which strikes me as a little improbable (the HP films tend to cast distinguished character actors, not major movie stars; plus, Naomi is Australian, and not a Brit). That said, I guess Alison would be a good choice, though I'm sure the role will be very small.

    Ahem, lets be fair. You probably picture alot of people you read in books to look like Alison Doddy.
  • JennyFlexFanJennyFlexFan Posts: 1,497MI6 Agent
    Not necessarily, taity. ;)

    Still, people should agree, her features are very similar to a Narcissa-type character and her past roles can prove it! She's also unknown enough that it can work. :D
  • taitytaity Posts: 702MI6 Agent
    I'd really like to see her do it.

    I saw a photo of her not too long ago (present day) - she certainly has held up VERY well

    Y'know, Alison Doody and I are exactly the same age--same day, same year--so it's not like she's an ancient relic or something. . .

    Watts was born in England, so technically the English could claim her as one of their own. I reckon they will go for a more character type though. I haven't seen Alison Doody in a film since Last Crusade. Has she been in anything?

    She (ironically) played another Nazi in a short film, appeared in the Hallmark Channel's "King Solomon's Mines" as Elizabeth Something-or-other, doing very well in that, she was almost in LOTR but pulled out due to how much time would be spent away from her family. She was also in a number of other things I haven't seen like Taffin, where she had a leading role with a future James Bond, Pierce Brosnan.

    I still think she should be Narcissa, no way around it! And at some point I'm going to see Major League II, which she also starred in.
  • John DrakeJohn Drake On assignmentPosts: 2,564MI6 Agent
    I think I've only seen her in 3 things. The Indy film. AVTAK. And Mike Hodges A Prayer for the Dying.

    I'll go ever further than that. I personally feel sorry for JFF's future girlfriend(s). Blonde hair and blue eyes simply won't be enough to satify JFF's sick, twisted, fantasies. The poor girls will be forced to submit to a number of strange requests:

    "Hey babe, would you mind putting on this jockey's uniform for me? Then once you've put it on, come back in here and tell me "I like an early morning ride."

    Of course I needn't mention the whip! :o

    Poor JFF, he can never have Alison Doody. But alas he'll strive to find the next best thing: a woman that very much resembles her.

    Exactly, you seem to forget the part where I force her to distract Patrick Macnee while I strangle him at a gas station. Or we could flood a mine and float in it together, prompting me to yell out "JENNY!!!!". ;)

    You hit the nail on the head. :D ;)

    Allison Doody was criminally underused in AVTAK and should've wore more risqué' costumes (but I saw her recently in Waking the Dead and she's still a hot chick).

  • HardyboyHardyboy Posts: 5,906Chief of Staff
    I'm afraid I've got some news that JFF will likely find devastating. Narcissa Malfoy has been cast, and the role didn't go to Alison Doody. Instead, the part will be played by Helen McCrory, who played Cherie Blair in The Queen. Here's more:

    Well Hardy... I think I'm... I'm...

    WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?! X-( X-( X-( X-(

    She doesn't even LOOK like a Narcissa. She doesn't have a regal, elegant, icy look or Alison's demeanor. I haven't seen her in anything else, so I'll have to evaluate her past acting performances but it's a crying shame. Alison would've been so perfect for the part! :( :( :( Right after her birthday that this AWFUL news has to be announced. :'( It's a sad world we live in.
  • taitytaity Posts: 702MI6 Agent
    I dunno, McClory certainly had the bitch attitude going - but somehow I think I'd like to see a cool blonde in the role. In some ways it feels like a throwback to hitchcock
  • Sir Hillary BraySir Hillary Bray College of ArmsPosts: 2,174MI6 Agent
    On this site, I would think a villain being portrayed by someone named McClory would only seem natural. :D
    Hilly...you old devil!
  • HardyboyHardyboy Posts: 5,906Chief of Staff
    Ahem. . .her name is McCRory, not McCLory.

    ...And not enough Alison loving! Come on, she needs our support now more than ever! In fact, I believe we should dedicate the site and an entire forum for Alison to ease her pain in this time of need. ;)

    Sorry JennyFlexFan. I must offend you.

    Alison Doody's career is best defined as 15 minutes of fame. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was the only real success she has had, but it was only that 15 minutes; Doody was instantly forgotten and disappeared for a decade after 1994. Doody has resurfaced on television in the past couple of years, but she is about as important today as the Macarena. And she wasn't even very good in Last Crusade.
