I guess because it popped up and reminded him of its existence.

I lurve him. Heās such a good actor! Such a range! He was soooooo good in Judge Dredd! Not a lot of guys could pull off an entire movie with half their face covered! Him and Tom Hardy, and thats it.
Speaking of Hardyā¦

OMG, he was great in Peaky Blinders, too. He played the head of a British Jewish gangā¦ This scene cracked me upā¦ he has a gun in his face, and he calls the guy holding the gun in his face SWEETIE!!! I donāt know if that was in the script, but I kind of hope it was an ad lib movement.

Itās a great show. I think there is another season in the works or has already aired on the BBC, so it should be on our side of the pond at some point (though maybe youāll get it sooner, being Canadian and all?).
Does a great job being all the gang stuff within the larger historical context of the early interwar period in Britain - deals with PTSD, fears over communism, the conflicts in Ireland after the Easter Uprising, etc.

My 2nd job in the entertainment industry was on Encino Man. I donāt know if his personality has changed in the quarter century since, but back then Brendan Fraser was a hell of a gentleman, too. Friendly, humble, funny, generous.

That right there would be excellent casting. His good looks have Loki-style mischief written all over them. Guys with those looks always seem to get away with murder. Hate 'em!
(My late brother Craig was one of those scamps.)

I donāt think objectifying men here in revenge for the objectification of women elsewhere helps anything.
Revenge?

Thatās not whatās happening in this thread. Itās not about revenge, itās about making a point about objectification.

Yes, revenge, because apparently the only reason anyone would admire an attractive man is because of revenge. Otherwise, those of us who arenāt heterosexual men would just tend to our knitting and our housecats

Revenge???
Is this a Jackie Collins novel and someone forgot to tell me?
Dudeā¦ you are so far off base with that comment, that I honestly want to know what shit youāre smoking, so I can avoid it at all costs.
To begin with, the very conceit that this thread was posted as some petty form of one-upmanship or with nefarious intent is INSULTING AS FUCK.
Next is the dubious-ass timing: again, this didnāt seem to be any sort of problem back in June, when it was originally posted.
And lastly, itās awfully fucking interesting that you didnāt bother to respond to meā¦ yāknow, the actual author of the post; and instead chose to reply to a guy who was backing me up.
FFS, for all the rallying we do against being a carbon copy of the other place, this sure seems like shades of both Jason and Jeff.

Really? Because making a point about objectification seems to actually be just objectification.
Hahah revenge? No.
Spite maybe. But not even that really.
Its not even a real āobjectificationā thread, more it turned into a male actor/celebrity appreciation thread.
Half the time when we post someone here, its accompanied by a gushing about their talent, their compassion, their sense of humour. Not just their appearance. Hell most of them are wearing clothes even!
Donāt like the thread, stay out I guess?

Or unilaterally close the damn thing just because you can, I guess.

Except, as @MissyPants, weāre also commenting on the men as human beings with talent too.
None the less, none of it was done out of a sense of ārevengeā but to make a point about objectification itself and to celebrate men we find attractive for a number of reasons (not just physical).

First, slow your roll and cool your jets .You donāt need to get nasty with me. If you have a point, calmly explain it.
Second, I did respond to you with my initial comment objecting to this thread. Then @LearnedCoward countered me, and I responded. Then @mindysan33 responded to me, and I replied to that. Thereās nothing ānefariousā here. Just me saying I donāt appreciate the thread or the idea that just because thereās objectification of one group somewhere else on the Internet that anyone should feel that itās a good thing to objectify others in response. That seems a lot like revenge to me, though clearly the target of that revenge isnāt one person but a class strawmen.
I wasnāt here in July. That doesnāt mean I canāt say that what I see happening is objectionable.
BTW I hit the wrong button - I didnāt intend to hide this topic, only to flag it. I donāt mod.
Then why not bring it up in the community mod threads?
Bringing up here just seems like youāre spoiling for a fight?
