I find TW pretty. But not sexy. Not hot at all. All my Sville lust is directed squarely at MR. Big with the hottness he is.
edited to remove what looked like a reference to "Mr.Hot"
edit the second: Now it looks like I am saying Mr. Big. Oh, how I wish we knew. Want Naked!Lex!
Word Trudy.
I saw Noises Off before I saw the Superman movies. Makes the CR in my head very very different
See, MR doesn't ping me. I think it's a baldness thing. I grok that the way he moves and talks could be sexy, but ... more for you guys.
I may have just been the wrong age to Oost after men when DC was Superman. I think it aired when I was in middle school, and my tastes ran towards Jordan McKnight and Christian Slater at the time.
See, I find TW wildly attractive, but he looks a lot like my First Great Love. So I think I'm kind of imprinted. (Also I've never heard TW talk.)
Katie, keep it that way. Really.
I'd say something about him having missed the time he was born for (the Silent Film Era), but back then they needed facial expressions even moreso than today. Was there a Still Pictures Era?
I find TW impossibly attractive, but I think much of this is residual from my childhood reaction to Christopher Reeve. (OTOH, Dean Cain never did much for me. Hmmm.)
I am so you on this. DC obsessed friend could NOT understand my "Eh, whatever ..." about him.
Dean never did much for me back when Lois & Clark was on the air, but when he got a little older and put on some weight, rrowrrr!
I can no longer watch Smallville because I just can't stand Tom Welling. The combination of his almost inhuman physical perfection and his vapidity totally creeps me out. TW could be a lovely person in real life for all I know, but the guy on screen--I feel like he's like this utterly ornate and utterly depthless porcelain figurine. Ditto KK. When two of them are on screen together? I have to leave the room. My depth of loathing for the guy verges on irrational.
It's too bad, because the show has a great premise and MR is compulsively watchable. If the writing were better, maybe it could have overcome the wooden-ness of two of its principal characters, but.....eh. Maybe I would have felt differently if I'd had a bigger investment in the HoYay-aspect of the show.
TW is too muppetty for me. And he looks too manic when he smiles - no matter what the cause, his grin makes it look like he just discovered mastrubation. Dean Cain had the Asian-American cutiness thing going on, plus dimples. And his mom rocked. I remember when she first put him in the tights reasoning that at least that way people wouldn't be looking at his face.
