I'm happy he's got the stuff to put behind his pontifications. That's a refreshing twist on the Hollywood chatter-box.
But sorry, I just can't see Kevin Costner as luscious or handsome. I think I'm too wrapped up in the whole "obvious trained killer" category of attraction.
Poor AFG was lamenting the wrinkles now showing up around his eyes and I had to reassure him that "Sniper Squint"* was wicked sexy.
*AFG is not now and never has been a sniper. Although he's always been a VERY good shot, pistol and rifle. I should know the precise terms for this, but I'm still trying to get used to the switch from SPs (security police) to SFs (Security Forces). I also still refer to religious ed as CCD, which it hasn't been since 1967. I was born in 1974. Terminology and I aren't the best of friends.
The Army ACU uniform does NOT use "velcro". It is "hook and loop fasteners", people.
And I think the Air Force put the kibosh on switching to the blue uniforms that look like Starfleet Command. I think. PLEASE.
Oh - I have successfully been able to make the Chow Hall/DFAC switch in my mind. Most of the time. Although the Air Force went from "cafeteria" to DFAC, I think. It would be totally in character. After all, we don't have barracks, we have "dorms."
Fay, I think you just have a better memory than most, and remember when he was actually a good-looking leading man type, rather than the character actor he so obviously is now.
Hmm...Hollywood actor...a real life solution...based on real science
ReplyDeleteThe parallel universe?
It exists!

Oh - and just a general fact to throw out there.

*snort*
I'm with afw on this one.
ReplyDeleteIOW, I'm happy he's offering a solution but I don't find him attractive either.
ReplyDelete...although "No Way Out" was hawt :-)
"I just can't see Kevin Costner as luscious or handsome."
ReplyDelete"I don't find him attractive either."
Well, fine. Guess I'll just drool over here in the corner.
By.
My.
Self.

ReplyDeleteI liked "No Way Out", but Costner doesn't do a thing for me. Never has. "The Bodyguard" was horrible. No sizzle AT ALL.
ReplyDeleteI guess you have him to yourself, Ms. Fay!
The stair scene in "The Untouchables" was a direct ripoff from Eisenstein's "The Battleship Potemkin."
ReplyDeleteAlthough I'm sure Mr. Costner had nothing to do with that.
ReplyDeleteAlthough that was a good movie. Sean Connery was great.
ReplyDeleteOh, I have used my considerable power in the media to get TCM to show "The Battleship Potemkin" tonight (Sunday). Check out the Odessa Steps scene.
ReplyDeleteRadioMattM has impressive skilz!

I'll watch it, I've never seen it before.
