Modelicious
July 6, 2003

When I picked up a local tabloid, the following review gabbed my eyes:

Thin plot and bland characters ruin Terminator 3

Terminator (t3001.jpg--478x180)

After the triumph of Terminator 2: Judgement Day, this plot-weak third installament can’t be viewed as anything more than an entertaining postscript.

The main ingredient missing from Terminator 3 is director James Cameron, who kick-started his career with The Terminator and proved himself a directorial genius with T2. (T3 was directed by Jonathan Mostow.)

Kristanna Loken (kloken03.jpg--210x358) Cameron’s forte is his aptitude for balancing action with eminently human characters and complex, affecting relationships. Sure, the action in T3 is ripping good fun; a crane, a fire engine and several remote control police cars make for a brain-hemorrhagingly exciting chase through L.A. But so what?

The ridiculously extravagant action sequences—launched before barely 20 lines of dialogue have been delivered—beat the viewer senseless in an attempt to disguise how disappointingly thin premise and characters are the third time around.

The T-X terminatrix is played by modelicious Kristanna Loken. She has been sent to kill John’s future lieutenants in the war against the machines.

Apparently, the above film critic doesn’t seem to love the movie too much, yet it sounds like a fun flick. I wanna see it. For more on this movie, please visit this page: Terminatrix.

The word modelicious turns up quite new to me. So, I looked it up in my dictionary, which doesn’t list it. The first impression I got from the word tells me about a possibility, in which this word was coined with “model” and “delicious”.

I went to the google.com search. The results are as follows:

Google search results for modelicious (modeli01.gif--578x432)

I haven’t come up with many hits, but 103 hits are reasonably justifiable to list it as slang in this page. As you see, the word has something to do with model.

The introduction to Kristanna Loken goes like this:

The Norwegian model-actress has landed the role of the Arnold Schwarzenegger-battling Terminatrix in Warner Brothers’ Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.

With her skyscraper legs and blond locks, the relatively unknown 22-year-old will play T-X terminatrix, the latest, most murderous design to come off the assembly line since the shape-shifting T-1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

But unlike that liquid-metal villain, Loken’s cyborg will have powers that will make Schwarzenegger’s T-800 character seem ancient by comparison.

Aha! So, she also works as model, eh?
If you look up “delicious” in your dictionary, you will find something like the following definitions:

Delicious
  • highly pleasing to the senses, especially to taste or smell:
    a delicious dinner; a delicious aroma.

  • very pleasing; delightful:
    a delicious sense of humor.

Therefore, “modelicious” probably means “model-like, visually pleasing”, or something like that.

Let’s see how the word is used in those Web pages:

  • Cosmo Girl! cover (cosmogal.jpg--180x250) they want us, the teeny-boppin’ boy-crazy gals, to vote for which modelicious hottie we think should strip for a 3-page-long poster in the next CosmoGirl!  magazine.

  • Check it out: there’s sultry Salma Hayek as Nurse Harper, modelicious Famke Jansen (“Goldeneye”) as Miss Burke, Bebe Neuwirth of “Cheers” fame as Principal Drake, film vet Piper Laurie appears as Mrs. Olson, comic Jon Stewart (my personal favorite among the faculty) as Mr. Furlong and, who else but Terminator II’s shifty-eyed Robert Patrick to play Coach Willis.


  • Famke Jansen (famke02.jpg--150x253) As minuscule as it is magical, the bar of Paris’ hippest hotel is an appropriately upscale nightspot known as the place where fashion and film folk flock for great champagne cocktails. On weekends the bar spins sophisticated house and dub compilations by DJ Stephane Pompougnac. And any day of the week you can expect modelicious miniskirts and macroscopic prices.

  • In 1988, when disco kings Ian Schrager and Steve Rubell hired Philippe Starck to create this new hostelry, the idea was to design an entertaining and provocative frolic pad. Starck took a historic hotel and rendered it unrecognizable, with a playroom lobby full of oversized furniture, showplace guestrooms and a modelicious, black-clad staff.

  • A very modelicious site containing an exotic multitalented model on the way up.

  • If you like thigh-high boots, you’re gonna love the scene featuring fashion dildos attached like spurs to such boots, allowing the modelicious girls to fuck their cowgirl blues away.

After all, my definition sounds all right.
