My gf's best-friend's fiance is 6'6" and he is one of the rare people I know that makes my 6'2" self feel short. Anytime I encounter someone bigger than me I end up doing a sort of uncomfortable double-take because I'm not used to it. I imagine encountering Mr. Bjornsson would be incredibly intimidating.
Say! look at you! You look just like me! We're very pretty.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I once did extra work on a Matthew McConaghey movie filming (partly) in SF and got about 10 feet away from him, from which I can report that he was (a) utterly, luminously, blindingly beautiful in person, and (b) so slight and wee that any attraction prompted by the dazzling beauty was instantly overwhelmed by a desperate desire to go full-tilt Nana on him and march him straight into the nearest North Beach pasta joint, then sit and glare lovingly at him as he ate plate after plate of pasta carbonara so the next light breeze that came by wouldn't knock him over, poor little wisp of an angel that he was. An angel! Straight from heaven, kissed by God! No, the cannoli and the tiramisu. Trust me, you need them both.

And he lost weight for Dallas Buyers Club? Holy shit! He looked like a rail in his HBO series too. Yeesh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
As opposed to Christian Kane, who looked me right in the chin with the aid of some impressively-heeled cowboy boots. 5'9" my ass!
I've met Kane, and he's shorter than me, and I'm 5'8", so yeah. He is extremely attractive, however.
I've also met Timothy Hutton, and he seemed taller than his reported 6'. He's also thin, holy cow. I put my arm around him (photo op!) and could feel his ribs. I wanted to wrap him in a blankie and haul him off to feed him.

JZ...I have been, and always shall be, madly in love with you.
Matty Mac should be so lucky as to have someone like you looking out for him!

Suddenly, I'm seeing an entire platoon of 'istas deploying to bring comfort and chicken soup to the ravaged and beautiful souls of this world.

I sure could. I give great hug.
I'm not a hugger myself, in that I don't go in for the hug, but if someone else wants to hug, I'm totally happy to hug back. (Unless it's a creepy guy who wants hug me in lieu of copping a feel. I can always tell; it's not just a hug, creepy guy.)

He's very pretty, but looks about the same in real life as he does in pictures.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
I am as Zen in the hug department. Although, as I've gotten older, I have learned to hug more, at least my family. 'ffistas have taught me to ask first about strangers, but will hug with zeal when given clearance. I just tend to release from hugs fairly quickly, because they still don't feel quite natural to me. Not that I don't like them! I just am never sure how long a hug should last.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So, Jess, tell us how you feel about Jupiter Ascending.
