rena_librarianDear Tom Cruise:
We all know that Katie Holmes is taller than you. We really do. But I saw your wedding pics, and clearly you were standing on a box in some of them. There was one, though, where you looked like you were both the same height, and yet your feet were on the floor. I can only imagine that your new wife was kneeling on a box under her voluminous poofy dress.
This is idiocy. If neither one of you is embarrassed about the fact that she's taller (and in this day and age, no one should be--and keep in mind that it's your face, not your height, that's made you famous), PLEASE BURN THE BOX. Really. I'll send you a personal note of thanks.

Dear People Magazine:
Okay. I had no problems when you picked Johnny Depp and Matthew McConaughey as the Sexiest Men Alive. But GEORGE CLOONEY? He's barely even CUTE, never mind SEXY! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING??? Why not Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom, Dominic Monaghan, Viggo Mortensen, or Sean Bean? (We'll give a few years to David Wenham and Karl Urban, who really aren't known enough in the States. Yet.) I can't even name a single movie Clooney's been in (ever!), but the men I named all have long, respectable careers behind them. WHY? WHY, I ASK!

Anyway. Sexiest Man Alive issue bragged on the cover that they were featuring 204 sexy guys total.
Number I recognized (as in, I could name something they've been in): 74.
Number I think are actually sexy (as in, whether I recognized them or not, made me look twice and go "ooh!"): 46.
Number I think are downright ugly (including Brad Pitt, another undeserving recipient of the SMA): 16.
Most annoying thing about the whole issue: Elijah has a full-page interview (yes, my scan) in which he discusses Happy Feet and Bobby, but is not featured anywhere among those 204 guys.
ETA: But if you're a Harry Potter fan, particularly of the Weasley twins, this was cool!

Date: 2006-12-07 02:59 am (UTC)hehe This is the sexiest *men*, not the sexiest *stick boy* so Lij and Orli never stood a chance. ;) Was Shemar Moore mentioned?

Date: 2006-12-07 11:41 pm (UTC)And that's my point--he's been around TOO long. He's OLD. And he LOOKS it. The SMA should be someone (like Matthew McConaughey) who is young, or someone (like Johnny Depp) who looks a heckuva lot younger than he actually is.
And did you see Kingdom of Heaven? Or even any of the promos? Orli is capable of not being a stick boy. (He put on 30 pounds of muscle for that movie, which he then had to turn around and lose again for PotC2. XD)
I want to say Shemar Moore was mentioned on one of the pages where it was like "sexiest guys that wear glasses" or "sexiest guys in their 30s" or whatever. (Matthew Fox, Daniel Dae Kim, and Terry O'Quinn were all such mentions.) Where it was just a pic and a name, no article. I'll look again if you really want to know.

no subject
Date: 2006-12-07 11:43 pm (UTC)EXACTLY. He's never going to make it, unfortunately. But come on! Orli! Or VIGGO! My God, Viggo's old enough for them and has a huge pre-LotR body of work. If he could just have one out-of-the-ballpark hit movie he'd probably get it for that year. (I mean, that's what happened to Depp with PotC!)

Date: 2006-12-08 12:36 am (UTC)And I'm just saying--GC is NOT attractive! I like a few OTHER older guys--Johnny Depp (who's over 40 IIRC) and Viggo Mortensen to name a few. I'll stop there because you'd probably laugh at some of the others...
Are you calling me a KID? XD
