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

Dude. I once saw Donnie Pfaster having sex on top of a convertible with some blonde in one of the Red Shoes Diaries episode. I guess the actor can be considered sorta attractive in an objective way, but I just couldn't buy it because I kept waiting for him to fixate on the woman's fingers and start calling her "girly girl".

I liked that one. Then again, I like creeps.

Hopefully it will be better than the Underworld sequel I just read about. I saw the first one, and really have to wonder why they feel the need to make a sequel. Couldn't they just save money by screening a still picture of Kate Beckinsale in leather for 90 minutes?

I thought that Underworld was heavily influenced by the WB's version of Birds of Prey.

Given the CGI used it seems likely to me that it was filming or already in post-production by the time Birds of Prey aired. But I'll agree that there were a lot of stylistic resemblances.

I can't even.

It helps when she moves around.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Center Stage is a good dvd movie, because then you can fast forward through all the non-dance parts. (Well, stop and look at Peter Gallagher and think about licking hi eyebrows too.)

Perkins is me.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Well, stop and look at Peter Gallagher and think about licking his eyebrows too.

Best driving ticket ever was given to me by a county cop who was a pocket version of Peter Gallagher (couldn't have been taller than 5'6"). Least painful ticket I ever received, and I was doubly rewarded when I went to protest it in court (on the cop's advice, btw), and he was there, too. Yum.

it's quite possible that my Gregory Hines love is large, large, large

Oh, mine, too. One of my guilty pleasures was a rather silly buddy-cop film he did with Billy Crystal, both because of the Hines factor, and also because the filmmakers did an excellent job of utilizing Chicago as a background (car race on the El tracks, big finale in the State of Illinois building's spectacular lobby).

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

Running Scared!! I adore that movie. They are so hot.
