Attraction Recognition

You be the judge. Is this list unreasonable? This is my list of attractive males that deserve recognition:

Brad Pitt

This just goes without saying. If Michaelangelo lived today, he would have carved the Brad rather than the David. He's what every man should aspire to. I own 10 of his movies on DVD. If you didn't cry at some point during his performance in Legends of the Fall, then you have no soul. Meet Joe Black? Don't even get me started. He's perfection in all aspects of attainable manliness.



Beyond Brad Pitt, the other men on this list are simply crushes, for lack of a better word.

Robert Redford
Or, as I like to call him, the Brad Pitt of the previous generation.















Daniel Johns
I've worshipped him since the 9th grade. Every Silverchair album is good, beginning to end. The fact that he married (but sadly, divorced...) Natalie Imbruglia (she would be on my list of girls..maybe I'll blog about girls next time..) shows his great taste as well. She's mega-beautiful, and mega-beautiful people attract each other.






Michael Vartan
Also known as Michael Vaughn, from my favorite show of all time, Alias. While my initial main attraction to Alias was, of course, Jennifer Garner (so hot), after a while the show was captivating enough to watch even if she wasn't in it. In the show, as JenGarn's love interest, he had my approval to fictionally date the woman of my dreams.




This is not a comprehensive list, but I'm open to suggestions, and criticism.

No, I'm not gay.

Twilight

Three.

That's the answer to "How many times did you see Twilight the movie within 29 hours of it's theatrical release?"

I'll start with criticism..

I think overall, the movie's biggest fault is that they had 13 year old girls in mind the entire time they were making the movie (which makes perfect sense). But, to me, it seems they could have made it for adults, and kids still would have dug it. My guess is that they were probably scared of making it too scary for 13 year old girls. Laurent, Victoria, and James were totally laughable for the majority of their screen time. "James, let's not play with our food." Really? Did I just hear that line?

Also, the intense, dramatic scenes of the movie were the consistent low-points. It just didn't flow, and it seemed like it could have been on ABC Family Channel at 11AM or something. A bit silly.


Now, the for the positive..

Edward was much hotter and charming-er than I expected. I had a man-crush on him during 85% of the movie. He could look scary, calming, and confident. I dug it.

I've got a huge crush on Kristen Stewart's Bella. She's 18... It's a bit awkward, but whatev. My friend Allie seems to think that the basis of my crush is movie-Bella's similarity to Haley Graham (from my favorite movie about gymnastics, Stick It). But, just because Bella didn't cry in the movie doesn't mean she's a tom boy. I thought KS did a great Bella overall.

The only Cullen I didn't like was Rosalie (keep your fingers crossed for a re-cast...) Alice was perfect. Perfect.

Bella's friends were all awesome, with the exception of a sub-par Angela.

In the end, I liked the movie a lot. I enjoyed it equally all three times I saw it. That doesn't mean that I don't recognize the movie's target audience, and the overall lameness of certain portions. But, while the bads were BAD (very very very bad...awful bad), in the end, I think the goods were good enough that I'll call myself a fan of the movie.

The end

My New Least Favorite Band

One of my favorite things to do is listen to and play the musics. It's basically all I do.

My second favorite thing to do is to make fun of and belittle bands that I think suck.

My new Least Favorite Band is Boys Like Girls. Boy do they suck. It's hard to believe that bands like this are still finding new ways to sound exactly like an entire genre of whiney boys. Lets be honest: If you listen to just one of their songs about how much they miss a girl, you really can't blame the girl for leaving them.

So, listen to Boys Like Girls at the link below for a good laugh. If you like them, then contact me personally at roydrechsel@gmail.com and I'll write you a music-prescription that should cure you.
