Besides, the Muppets are visually superior to Clive Owen inasmuch as I know what all of them look like and can easily distinguish them from one another.

Yes, well their color coding extends well beyond the normative human spectrum - so keeping track of the blue one (Grover) and the green one (Kermit) is not so challenging. And they do conveniently provide broad clues within the same color choice (Cookie Monster, while also blue, entirely lacks a nose.)

I think there's something not wired right in my brain.

You may merely bethe counterpoint to me, who finds an unholy number of men pretty, and seems to be quite devoid of judgement on the topic.

Are you people lying about who you find hot just to fuck with me?

I ask myself the same thing every time someone swoons over Jake Gyllenhal or James Franco.

I think havign an international assassin in The Muppets Take Manhattan would have been a BRILLIANT plot twist! Quick, can he sing? Can he dance?

I first saw Owen in Second Sight, and feel all smart at having discovered him long before people-who-don't-watch-PBS-or-Beeb-America did. (He played an obnoxiously cocky detective who was slowly going blind.) I think a number of his projects are unremarkable, or he is unremarkable in them, or else the project is such that it's not exactly a Hollywood Star Turn. Like, his character in Croupier wore tuxedoes and all, but he was a cynical turd of a man. Very interesting movie, and I liked it, but not the sort of thing that gigaplexes sell out for (like King Arthur, but intentionally).

Aha! I don't think Gyllenhaal is hot! I have boundaries. And if Franco is as short as I hear, him neither.

Thank dog.

People actually *do*? Ewwwwwwwww. He's so skeevy.

And if Franco is as short as I hear, him neither.

Okay, wait. We have definitively established that Franco is kilometers taller than Tobey Maguire. Is Tobey falling into the "laconic dildo" size of actor along with Seth Green?

Hand to god, someone told me this weekend he couldn't watch Spidey 2 because "They're all five feet tall!" And he knows at least some of the cast. Factor for hyperbole, and interpret at will.

Also, People magazine called Franco 5'6 1/2". That's never a good sign.

Teppy--Lucky you if you haven't seen Bridget Jones Diary yet! The *perfect* movie to curl up with on a rainy, PMS-y day. And I bet they have it at your library! So lovely to watch.

Huh. And he's considered hot?

Try this one, Steph.

During BJD I was going "Colin Firth is interested in you and you're still panting after Hugh Grant? Get thee to an asylum!"
