Well, we're back. I had to take last week off, as there was this little disruption called Hurricane Ike.

This week's choice is Brad Pitt. I know; how obvious can you get? I held off using him as long as I could, but I figured that it was at least a timely choice, as his new film Burn After Reading is doing very well. I've never really understood the appeal of the man, but apparently lots of women really dig him.

From Wiki:
William Bradley "Brad" Pitt (born December 18, 1963), is an American actor and film producer. He became famous during the mid-1990s after starring in several major Hollywood films.

Pitt is consistently cited by popular media as one of the most attractive actors in Hollywood, and has twice been named the "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine. His former marriage to actress Jennifer Aniston and current relationship with Angelina Jolie have been widely covered in the world media. He is the father of six children with Jolie, three biological, all of whom have also received media coverage. Since his relationship with Jolie, who is known for humanitarianism, Pitt has become increasingly involved in social issues, both domestically and internationally.

Pitt first attracted broad public attention from a supporting role in Thelma & Louise, where he played a small-time criminal drifter who befriends Thelma (Geena Davis). His love scene with Davis, which showed Pitt topless and wearing a cowboy hat, has been referred to as "iconic", often cited as the moment that defined Pitt as a "sex symbol". He then starred in Interview with the Vampire, Legends of the Fall, Se7en and Twelve Monkeys, for which he received a "Best Supporting Actor" Golden Globe and an Academy award nomination. Since then, he has starred in numerous films, including Fight Club, Mr and Mrs Smith, Babel, the Ocean's trilogy and the recent comedy, Burn After Reading.

I liked him in Thelma and Louise...and haven't been able to stomach him since. No idea what that's about, but there it is. Thumbs down.
 
I give him a marginal thumbs sideways. I don't like him, but I don't dislike him. I think it has a lot to do with me being sick to death of seeing his face.

He was pretty funny in Burn After Reading, though.
 
I never liked this guy. Thumbs Down.

Has the guy who plays Mohinder on Heroes ever been MHOTW? After this week's premiere, I'm sure he'd score a lot of votes. :D
 
Sendhil Ramamurthy (:drool:) has been and gone. Unfortunately.

And no Heroes spoilers. Some of us have to wait. :mad: :rolleyes:
 
Ew ew ew! Thumbs very much down!! :scream:

Oh my yes!! :drool:

He looks mighty yummy without a shirt!!

This is exactly my problem.

If I try and block out the fact that I am sick to death of seeing his face on the front of every trashy tabloid on the supermarket checkout line, he actually IS very good looking. I remember when Legends of the Fall came out years ago, I thought he was positively breathtaking. He looked good with long hair.

Brad Pitt's problem is severe and prolonged overexposure. And the wrong kind of exposure.

Because if I read one more headline about the travails of Brad and Jen, their offspring, and their current love interests, I may hurl. :lol:

I give him a thumbs sideways. He's good looking and he can't help all of the really annoying media attention given him....but nevertheless, that media attention really IS annoying.
 
Talented actor, excellent body, average joe face, appears in interview to be a nice guy and the ability to keep me interested in a movie even when Julia Roberts is on screen. Thumbs up!

Unless his power turned out to be the ability to turn his sweat into a clothes dissolving acid, then I'm not interested. Actually thats a lie, He could read the phone book all episode long and I'd be entranced.
Any ideas for next week?
Does Media cover musicians or televised sports?
 
Hellish body. Hellish. But, when I think of him, he does nothing for me. Meh. Still, hellish body. :drool:
 
Brad Pitt's doing okay, I guess, but the actor from A River Runs Through It that's really taken off is Craig Sheffer. :lol:
