TOP FIVE MARRIAGEABLE MALE CHARACTERS IN THE MOVIES




I discovered this article via Name That Film on the top 5 marriageable female characters in movies, so I decided to make my own for male characters:

H.I McDunnough, Raising Arizona. He reformed himself from a life of crime and only wanted to do what was best for his wife, too bad it didn't go so well.

Willie Mossup, Hobson's Choice. Possibly the only husband in the history of the movies to admit that his wife's bossiness was a good thing. Also, he and his wife are great partners in business as well as life, so they'll always have something in common.

Lloyd Dobler, Say Anything. Obvious, I know. Not many 18-year-old males would fly to London for their girlfriend's career. On the other hand, he's got his kickboxing, so you know he's not just a hanger-on.

Alfred Kralik, The Shop Around the Corner. When you've found your soul mate, the fact that she's a bit of a bitch shouldn't stop you. Having already aired out both their petty disagreements and their deepest ideals, the rest should be smooth sailing.

Mr. Darcy. Pride and Prejudice. You can't trust the smooth talkers, but a guy who'll bail out your loser relatives after you've rejected him in a humiliating fashion is a keeper.

I almost included Nick Charles from The Thin Man. The first film to have the concept of a married couple as fun-loving best friends is an important landmark, but in reality I'd fear the inevitable alcoholism-related bills later in life. I once counted all the martinis they had and realized if I drank that many I'd be dead. Dude, that's pure alcohol!

Of course, my sweetie is a combo of the best qualities of all five.

You are my Tura and Queen B rolled up into one, though I think I am safer with you than I would be with either of those two Vixens. Thanks for ranking me with the best Sweetie!

TOP TEN LIPSYNCH FOR YOUR LIFE SONGS FOR A DRAG KING EQUIVALENT OF RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE

 The Advocate has suggested that the greatest (i.e. only good) reality show ever, Rupaul's Drag Race , have a drag king contestant.  That's fine, but it would be much more entertaining to have a whole drag king competition. One of the best parts of Drag Race is seeing all the different types of queens compete: beauty queens, funny queens, conceptual queens, androgynous queens, scary queens, singing and dancing queens.  I want to see punk kings, gangsta rap kings, cock-rocking metal kings, panty-dropping R & B kings, country kings, baggy-pants burlesque comic kings, and of course, Elvis. I picked out some songs that make me think of different aspects of masculinity:  swaggering men, heartbroken men, lustful men, romantic men, philosophical men, and suicidally depressed men (interesting fact: I can think of dozens of songs by men about suicide, but only one female one: "Gloomy Sunday". What's up with that?) "That's Life" - Frank Sinatra

STILL HATING ON MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTIONS

Jason had an insightful post on newspapers in the Internet Age on his blog wherein he suggested we donate to keep the watchdogs of the press going. In an aside, he mentioned subscriptions for music: To be honest, it's the same thing with music downloads. I've been screaming for monthly subscriptions for years now, and they're still not here. (At least not on the scale of an iTunes or Amazon.) Of course, I had to respond. Jason: I'm sorry to hear you've been screaming for years--you must be very hoarse. I believe the service you're looking for is called Rhapsody . I don't know what counts as "the same scale", but they have ads on TV. I don't know why anyone would pay $12.99/month to rent music, though. I want to own my music, I don't want some company to be able to take my access away or jack up the price at a whim. Rhapsody's main market must be people who don't own much music, have a lot of electronic devices but no interest in l

IS OUR LONG OBJECTIVIST NIGHTMARE FINALLY OVER?

Now that the most powerful and influential Randian of our time has somewhat repudiated his views , can we put Objectivism into the dustbin of history along with Communism? I mean, just because you thought that scene of a rebel architect ravishing a socialite on the top of a tall building was hot when you were 20, should you base your whole political belief system on it? Two Girls Fat and Thin was good, though.
