....and yet, I still don't find him attractive, nor can I ever connect the face with the name. When the trailer for Sin City first came out, I was befuddled by who the dark broody guy was.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Steph, have you seen him in "Croupier"? I didn't really take much notice of him until I saw that flick. Afterward, I was pretty much a goner. Well, that and liberal doses of Owen as the brilliant and tormented Detective Inspector Ross Tanner in "Second Sight" series.

I haven't seen either of those.
I keep confusing Clive Owen and the other guy who has a similar name -- Colin someone. Not ita's friend Colin -- *he's* memorable. Another Colin.

Colin Firth?
Well, they are both dark and broody and British. Firth has more of a polish, and Owen's more of a diamond-in-the-rough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Then there is Colin Firth circa Pride and Prejudice. Too bad I can't locate the wet shirt picture.
That's a smokin' photo of Clive Owen. Humina humina.
Also, some of Clive Owen's BMW short films are still available online.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Heh -- I was just at a party last night where we were all saying the same thing, Sin City is going to be fucking amazing visually, even if it sucks, which it might.
I have the book around here somewhere. I should read it.

I have no idea why I confuse the two. Mostly b/c they have faces that are, to me, completely forgettable. I can't explain it.
Colin Farrell is also not attractive to me, but not forgettable, either, because he has eyebrows that are secretly plotting to overthrow Peter Gallagher's eyebrows and then they will DOMINATE THE UNIVERSE.
