Well, I like the almost unibrow, the hair and the stance. And when he and I get married, I'll be sure not to show him this part of this thread.

Everyone's mileage varies, but I don't get it about the hair. I mean, is it because it's straight and not wavy? Because you're not used to seeing the actor with long hair? It's typical long hair.

More beard? You must mean beard, then ... because he's pretty face scruffy.

Less white? Um, ok, name me some Persian or Arabic actors with similar stateside fame and box office appeal?


Quibbles. Feh. Jealous quibbles.


Oh, well, easier to fight just Gemini Cricket for him, then. ;)

We watched Step Brothers last week. I enjoyed it more than I expected. I had been expecting to like it and all. While Will Ferrell is hit and miss (heavy on the miss), John C. Riley and Judd Apatow were enough to give me reason to anticipate enjoying it. But I didn't expect it to be as fun as it was.

Don't get me wrong, it's an absolutely idiotic movie with nothing that I would describe as a redeeming value. But that doesn't mean it wasn't funny. A couple of grown men acting like children but with a whole lot of swearing. Win win. And in a surprise twist, the funniest scene was actually one of the scenes in the extended version reel. 99% of the time I watch extended versions of movies like this and think, "And that's why editors earn a living." But the scene in the extended version where Rob Riggle's character tells Ferrell's about the f*cking Catlina Wine Mixer had us rolling. And stands as the funniest thing Rob Riggle's ever done.

Not Persian, but less white (and already has experience playing Arab/Middle Eastern in action movies): Dwayne Johnson.

And on average his movies are good for $22 million more than Jake Gyllenhaal and $3 million more on opening weekend.

But I recognize why they'd choose a name like Gyllenhaal. Doesn't make it any less annoying than John Wayne playing Genghis Khan, though.

It reminds me of Marlo Thomas's hair That Girl. It looks ridiculous.

Granted, Jake has had more alluring hairstyles, but jeebus, that's hardly a reason to not want to jump (on) his bone(s)....

I liked Marlo Thomas' hair. So sue me. :)

Yeah, but Marlo was (still is, AFAIK) a woman. Chick hairstyles don't always look good on dudes--and vice versa.

True. Case in point, Robin Gibb:

Burton's Alice in Wonderland teaser trailer

I like Depp's Mad Hatter so far. The Queen of Hearts... creeeeeepy! In a good way...
