Sexy Friday

Robert Downey Jr. gets better with age. Seriously, who knew he'd still be around this long? I mean, there was no question he could act, but his career had a little quiet spot right there in the middle, and now he's a superhero! He's always guaranteed to make me laugh as Tony Stark even if I'm not a huge fan of the franchise. I told Husband that Tony Stark was a rich, egotistical, pompous dick and that he reminded me of him except he wasn't rich. He looked a little offended. *g*

Sexy Friday

I'll admit it. Arrow is my new guilty pleasure - or it would be if I felt guilty for watching it. It is in no small part to Stephen Amell. He's been in many shows that I've watched - though I've abandoned the shows before he made an appearance. An interview has him discussing his issue with nudity in his guest-appearances in Hung so I may have to find that later.  Either way, very pretty.

Sexy Friday

I can't admit honestly that I'm a huge fan of Zac Efron. That said, I'll admit that I no longer see him as a kid. I don't see him quite as an adult though. One of my many issues with The Lucky One is that I kept viewing him as a kid mixed in with all the adults. Still, if I was a little younger, I'd find him completely dreamy.

Sexy Friday

I could have sworn Idris Elba was already a recipient of Sexy Friday, but I've checked my notes and he has not. I watched him (on and off) in The Wire and started watching him in Luther. I think he's great, and I love that he can do drama and comedy. Plus, come on, he's all sexy and British.

Fall TV

So, this Fall, between Husband and me, we tried a lot of new tv shows. 

During the Olympics, we gave Go On and Animal Practice a shot. Husband did not give Animal Practice a go because he does not have the same sense of loyalty to Justin Kirk as I do. 

 This Fall, we tried Guys with Kids, The Mob Doctor, Revolution, The New Normal, The Mindy Project, and Ben and Kate. Husband did not watch Guys with Kids or Revolution. 

Also, thanks to Netflix, I have watched past episodes of Parks and Recreation and Doctor Who and am all caught up for this season. 

Currently, I am watching Scandal and recorded tonight's episode for after I watch all 7 episodes from last year's mini season. 

So far, so good. I know many who enjoy the show so I thought I'd check it out. Anyway, here are my reviews so far: 

1. We still enjoy Go On.
2. I could barely get through the first episode of Animal Practice.  The same with both of us with The Mob Doctor.
3. I thought Guys with Kids was mediocre.  I would watch it again if my plate wasn't so full, I think.  The same with The New Normal.  I liked it, but Ryan Murphy has burned me before with a strong start before going over the top and inconsistent.  I decided to pull the plug before it let me down, but maybe I'll go back periodically.
4. I'm still into Revolution, but we'll see.  It's not my standard fare.
5. We somewhat enjoyed The Mindy Project and Ben and Kate.  We'll see.  I wasn't totally invested, but I'm curious to see if they get stronger or develop characters over the next couple of episodes.

I have three more shows I'm going to try to watch this season so I'll report back later once I've watched them all.  I'm actually proud that I'm staying up-to-date with everything.  Once it becomes overwhelmed, I'll have to break up with something and comedies are always the first to go. 

Sexy Friday

I know Joseph Gordon-Levitt is an unconventional choice. I think he's very talented though. I really thought he was great in 50/50, but I'll admit that he kind of hooked me in 10 Things I Hate About You. You know, when I wasn't drooling over Heath Ledger. I love that he chooses varied projects in which to act and always keeps me wondering where he'll pop up next.

Sexy Friday

I mean, come on. Christian Bale. Who else can play Laurie and Batman? Not to mention Patrick Bateman who was a completely different animal. Also, I liked the fact that he had no problem with nudity during a lot of his career.  He may be a little too intense for me in real life, but on some days, I'm willing to give it a shot if he is.

Sexy Friday

Joe Manganiello totally deserves this. I think the whole Sexy Friday should be just because he exists. He's a bit too tall for me (but almost like 2 feet), but I'd have fun climbing up him, I think. Between his growling on True Blood and his turn in Magic Mike, he's pretty much been responsible for getting me through summer.

Sexy Friday

I've seen Chris Evans in very little, but I think he's underrated. I sometimes don't find him sexy, but then sometimes I do. I think it has to do with his character. Either way, he plays superheroes and that's not something everybody can pull off.

Sexy Friday

Three for the price of one today with the cast of The Hunger Games. Don't tell Husband, but I may have bought the DVD for myself a month or two ago even after seeing it in the theater twice. Regardless, I've had a soft spot for Josh Hutcherson since Bridge to Terabithia. Man, that movies destroys me although not as much as the book did as a child.

   

Of course, joining him are Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth. I haven't seen either in too many projects. Truthfully, I'm more into Chris Hemsworth than his brother, but it could be the Miley thing influencing my feelings.

Sexy Friday

I recently saw Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield in Spiderman and was surprised neither was Sexy Friday recipients before. So, here is their day in the sun.

I actually do like both actors a lot. Emma Stone in Friends with Benefits is practically my favorite part. I haven't seen Andrew Garfield in a ton, but I liked him in The Social Network and Doctor Who.

Sexy Friday

OK, maybe Adam Scott isn't traditionally sexy. That said, I find him absolutely adorable. Sadly, I had no idea that the first project I remember seeing him in is Piranha though I must have seen him in his tv appearances and just don't remember. I really liked him in Friends with Kids and have been absolutely obsessed with him in Parks and Recreation. I just got to the point in the series where he made his first appearance and am flying through the next season where he was made a series regular. Do not confuse him with golfer Adam Scott - though that Adam Scott is also kind of attractive. See below:

Hey! That's two Adam Scotts for Sexy Friday - two for the price of one.

Sexy Friday

It's decided (well, by me) that Lenny Kravitz can make anything cool and sexy. He wore a purple jumpsuit type thing the first time I saw him. I also got to see him perform once and that was pretty sexy. He hasn't acted in too much, but I thought he was great in Precious and not everyone can pull off gold eye make up like he did in The Hunger Games. He's just the epitome of cool which is quite the accomplishment considering his name is Lenny.

Sexy Friday

I've only seen Alex Pettyfer in Beastly (though I look forward to seeing him in Magic Mike). He is kind of pretty, and I enjoy the extra bulk he added for his latest movie release. I didn't find him very captivating in Beastly so I'll have to see if his performance changes my mind in Magic Mike. I'm also going to ignore the fact that, according to IMDB, he's 15 years younger than I am which automatically makes him a little less attractive to me.

Sexy Friday

I don't have much to say about Shemar Moore except I find him utterly yummy. I mostly know him from Criminal Minds, but I've recently watched a bunch of clips of him making out with fans on The Ellen Show. I just want the record to state right now that I'm a huge fan of Shemar Moore and if he ever feels the need to make out with me, I'm ok with that.

Sexy Friday

I was shocked to see Ryan Gosling has never been a recipient of Sexy Friday. He's never done too much for me, but then he took his shirt off in Crazy, Stupid, Love.. So, now he's on the radar, but he's still not at the point where I'd watch a movie just for him. That said, Crazy, Stupid, Love. is on cable right now, and I watch it quite a bit especially from that one scene forward.

Sexy Friday

For new people, you may not remember Sexy Friday. So, for awhile, on Fridays, I would post a sexy individual or two and dub it Sexy Friday. You can find the full list here. It's not a weekly event anymore, but I like to bring it back every so often as new people catch my eye. Today is Michael Fassbender. He never did much for me, but his last GQ spread made me sit up and notice. I prefer him clean-shaven, but I love how he has such a different face when he smiles and has such an intense gaze when he is not. Anyway, he is a very welcome addition to Sexy Friday.

Thanks, Glee!

Those words won't come out of my mouth much. I have a love/hate relationship with Glee. However, one of the best decisions the show has made in awhile is having guest star Matthew Bomer on. He was a former Sexy Friday feature.  Sue talking about how she would hunt down Alan Mencken so he could be a Disney prince was hilarious, and darned if he didn't have the twinkle in his eye and smile to pull it off.  Anyway, his guest appearance made for a yummy Tuesday night.

Sexy Friday

I won't be as diligent about Sexy Friday as in the past, but I thought it was time to bring the topic back. So, in honor of his 50th birthday, Jon Bon Jovi is the recipient of Sexy Friday. I chose a photo of his face which is not my favorite body part of his. Yes, he does music, and I'm a fan, but I do so love him in Moonlight and Valentino - the clip will show him in a brief scene. I always thought it was an underrated movie.

KYLE CHANDLER

Heck, if anybody deserves an all-caps title, it's my favorite actor in the world, Kyle Chandler. GQ just gave him 2011 GQ Coach of the Year as part of its Men of the Year issue (for his portrayal of Coach Eric Taylor on Friday Night Lights). Super 8, right in time for my birthday.
