crumpeteer: List ten fictional characters you would have sex with are attracted to in a family-friendly fashion (in no particular order) and tag 5 people to do the same. You don't have to include pictures but it'd be nice because looking at hot people is fun. For the purpose of eye candy, I'll only include people that I can share pictures of.
Unfortunately, the movie is not out on DVD... Actually, though, I just looked it up on Amazon to check and apparently it is coming out next March, but as part of a set with the 1952 shot-for-shot remake, which is the worst movie ever uuuuurrrrgh. Most upsetting; I feel like I've been waiting half my life for this DVD, and now it's going to be spoiled, what with any room for extra features sucked up by that craptastic film that I'd rather not think about. Ahem. Anyway. In that case, I guess you can wait until March for the DVD to come out, or hope to catch it on TCM some time. It's a really terrific movie, and Hentzau makes for some great eye candy.
Whew! I'm too embarrassed to reveal just how much time I spent on this, but it was a nice way to occupy a couple of days out of this week of just sitting at home with nothing to do while I wait for everybody else to finish with finals. Of course, now that I think about it... Looking at hot guys instead of taking finals? I don't think I can really complain.
crumpeteer: List ten fictional characters you  Lassiter is Cooler Than You. He's extremely dedicated, with a one track mind bent on getting the job done. Reliable, dependable, and responsible, Lassiter is the sort of guy who would help you through any trouble.  His never-ending supply of goofy faces keep things from getting too bogged down, though. He knows how to have a joke! Well, technically, he knows how to be the butt of other people's jokes, but it's all the same, right?  At the end of the day, his workaholism strikes the perfect balance between endearing and impressive. My number one TV boyfriend for all occasions, Dr. James Wilson!  I love him.  I love him.  I love him!!!! (I feel the need to say this even more after "Merry Little Christmas") I decided to deviate from the predictable in regards to my pick from Lost. I've traditionally clung to Sayid, and more recently I've added some Desmond to the mix. My other Lost-related crush is a real person (Damon Lindelof -- hearts times a thousand!). Today I bring you a new (for me) and possibly controversial choice: Dr. Jack Shephard.  (And you were afraid it was going to be Ben!) Oh, Jack... what can I say about you that hasn't already been said? You're pushy and obstinate, hypocritical and predictable, and yet somewhere along the line I fell in love with you. That for me has been season three's biggest shocker. With the ongoing Locke vs. Jack drama of season two, there was really no chance for Jack; Locke has and always will be The Man. Jack always seemed uncomfortable in his leadership position, but this season he has seemed even more vulnerable and out of place. Which, uh, is somehow a recipe for attraction? I don't get it, either.  Really, though, is it so impossible to like Jack? Sure, he can be a little boring, but at heart he's a nice guy. I think it might also be the recent Kate/Sawyer developments that have put me on Jack's side. Sawyer is fine to flirt with, buuut he's also kind of a jerk. The doomed nature of Jack/Kate has sucked me in, forcing me to join Team Jack at the time of its impending death. Okay, our next item, Lex Luthor, is a far less complicated choice.  He's hot. No matter how much his character bounces around from one extreme to the other, Commodore James Norrington will always be one of my favourites.  Even in the first movie, when he was a boring old boob, I still thought he was the best. What can I say? I love a guy in uniform.  Like I mentioned for Jack earlier, I am also seriously digging the doomed love angle. Not only is his relationship with Elizabeth doomed, but he knows it's doomed and yet he can't help but love her. Aw, shucks -- how sweet!  Yep, the angst of the second movie is just as hot as the emotional repression of the first movie. Yet another notoriously boring guy who I happen to love: Ashley Wilkes.  Of course, if you define "boring" as thoughtful, mannered, and genteel, then yes, I suppose I do like my men boring. You also have to consider that if Scarlett, pretty much the skankiest flirt in the land, was madly in love with him, he can't have been all that boring, right?  No, I didn't think so. You always hear people say that while Hugh Laurie has always been brilliant, he's never been hot until House, MD. Well, let me take this opportunity to disagree. He brought to life Bertram Wilberforce Wooster, one of my huge literary crushes.  Not only is Bertie adorable, but he has an excellent way with words and never fails to make me laugh (he is the narrator of his stories, after all). He's an excellent friend, almost to a fault. Having been engaged to at least 50% of the female population at one time or another, he's clearly quite an eligible bachelor. Oh, and I did I mention -- he's totally loaded!  He's a multitalented young man who appreciates all of the fine things in life. Cheers! William Bush certainly comes from the opposite end of the social spectrum from Bertie, but I love him just the same.  Please forgive me for repeating myself, but naval uniforms = yum!  Okay, so Bush might not be the strategizing genius that Hornblower is, but you've got to give credit where credit's due. He's an extremely brave and capable officer, and I think it's safe to say that at least part of Hornblower's success comes from Bush's blind faith in him. Sure, he's war-hardened, but he's also caring and squishy and adorable.  And... uh... more gratuitous uniform. Despite juggling a multitude of fandoms, I actually had some difficulty in coming up with ten people to include on this list. That's not to say that my last guy isn't up to the same standards as everybody else; he's just a bite more obscure, but hopefully that will inspire some of you to become acquainted with Rupert of Hentzau.  Okay, I'll confess that I've never actually read The Prisoner of Zenda, but I have seen the movie! It's one of my all time favourites, and while Ronald Colman is wonderful as always it is Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.'s Rupert of Hentzau who steals the show. He's an opportunist when it comes to both politics and women, taking what he can get without much regard for how the consequences affect other people. Maybe not the best material for a long term relationship, but since when has that stopped anybody from being hot?  He's even hot in different incarnations! He's played by Ramon Novarro in the silent version, and he's definitely the best part about the movie. |
