Post Your Celebrity Crush

I dunno if this movie ever came to pass... they are also resurrecting Paul Walker for Fast and Furious 10.

James Dean resurrected for new film role in CGI

 

This is so wrong. It's easy to get caught up in the idea of it and all the possibilities but no. As was stated, James Dean won't be starring in this film because he's dead.

 

Hi @Jerad. I don't have anything profound or insightful to add about shitty relationships but wanted to let you know I'm sorry that those horrible experiences happened to you.

And, hope you don't mind me saying, any woman who would want you to remove that chest hair of yours? Well that's just crazy talk.

 

Very interesting - thanks for sharing your experiences. All my relationships in the past, including a 20-year marriage, came from the pre-internet age, though had online dating been available then, I suppose I would have tried it in the 80s and 90s when I was single and young.

Online dating as a man your age is one thing - as a 58-year-old divorcee like me, it is a complete laugh - for me at least. I divorced a woman who is 12 years younger than me and still looks really quite young, nice figure etc - so I have no intention of getting into any relationship with anyone who looks my age LOL. I have met some of my generation and had a reality check. I did meet a 42-year-old online and that was nice for a while but she was still bringing up children and it got too complicated.

I will get some hate for some of my comments no doubt as it is frowned upon for guys my age to be looking at much younger women. I would rather remain single and probably will. Do I prefer women significantly younger than me? Yes. Will I meet someone I find interesting? No, probably not - too bad. There are other things in life and I have had a family etc so not worried about it.

However, you are young, and I do think you will meet someone good for yourself and you have plenty of time. It is actually a far far better situation to be alone - than be with someone who is not right for you. I know you have this dreadful tinnitus problem, otherwise I would say make sure you join some sports clubs and get into situations where you can actually meet people. There are some great meet up groups - I joined one and really enjoyed getting together with people. With online dating, men outnumber women online by at least 4-1 and I know one woman who does online dating, she always has 400 unread messages in her inbox - think about that. Still you have not done badly if you had 4 successes - albeit 3 worked out badly.

 

Oh I’m happy I came across this thread!

Gave me an excuse to google some hunks haha.

 

I'm happy to see another woman on this thread. We need more women posting their crushes.

 

I was thinking the same thing, @tpj. Thanks for posting and thanks, @SamRosemary, too. Good choices, especially Shia. He’s a good, fun-to-watch actor, with a no nonsense attitude. Is that Jack White above? He’s cool, too. I’m surprised no one’s posting Gosling or Pitt.




Not everyone knows this, but Pitt is secretly on this forum as @StoneInFocus. You didn’t hear that from me, tho. lol

 

Man I’m straight as a boomerang but Henry Cavill is a hunk, @ZFire.

 

This thread wouldn’t be complete without the Hoff. In a totally straight way, I’ve always been a fan because of Knight Rider. I have a replica of the car, even.




LOL


My KITT:

 

Gosling - no - he's just a little goose.

 

@Jerad, thanks for the Brad Pitt shot. That pic is HOT. Ryan Gosling on the other hand does absolutely nothing for me.

I wonder if anyone will post my female crush?

 

Did you ever see Drive, though? In that movie, he was the epitome of cool, like James Dean or Steve McQueen.

 

Ya, I’ve talked to some other women before who didn’t get the Gosling craze. It’s a thing, tho.

You’re gonna have to tell us who the woman is if they don’t.

 

I’m totally straight, too, but we men can still tell when another guy would be attractive to people. I saw a movie recently with Rob Lowe in the ‘90s — Bad Influence — and he was so debonair / obviously handsome that it made me realize why women make over him so much. I had never seen any of his movies really. His facial features align so well with that coveted Golden Ratio of beauty that many use to assess how attractive a person is.



I saw an article recently that said Robert Pattinson and Amber Heard pass the Golden Ratio test the most. I disagree, tho. While their facial features may be dimensionally proportionate, that doesn’t necessarily guarantee the most beauty. Sometimes, beauty is found in imperfections, too, or in unique features that set a person apart from another, like Jennifer Grey’s original look before her nose job.

Pattinson


Heard


Grey

 

I saw one film where he has gangsters after him trying to kill him and he has a girl with him.

I liked him in La La Land.

Yeah he is cool, I just made a joke with his goosy name.

I did not like Blade Runner 2 at all - not his fault - just got bored.

 

I saw Gangster Squad and didn’t care for it that much, but I thought Blade Runner 2 was okay. It was visually stunning and seemed faithful, but it wasn’t a masterpiece caliber film like the original. Still haven’t seen La La Land. Check out this film sometime. He made it in ‘07. I saw it recently and it was good. The premise sounds absurd, but the way it all comes together is surprisingly effective, and Gooseling gives a really good performance. Lol.

 

Gosling's a cutie.

 

For female celebrity crushes - Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, and Christina Ricci are my mains.

 

Where’s Zac Efron on here? He looks a little different nowadays after the jaw surgery, but I think he's still considered tops by most.

 

What a coincidence. I'm watching a movie with Zac Efron in it right now. Firestarter.

 

No it was not Gangster Squad. At the end he decides to accept the offer of his life in exchange for his girlfriend being left alone. I saw it on TV. I get all my film views from Netflix so if it is not on there I won't see it. I saw La La Land when I was still married years ago on a very very rare cinema trip (3 trips in 20 years).

Blade Runner - sorry, it was utter garbage. It may have looked nice etc - but it was an insult to the original. A money grab. No story or characters worthy of interest. I know that many disagree and I tend to be one of those baby boomers that think films and music of the 60s/70s/80s were way better back then. To be fair though - I have seen some very good stuff on Netflix. "If I hadn't Met You," a Spanish series about going to alternative universes was really good. I am watching Alice In Borderland 2 at the moment and really like it as much as I liked Squid Game.

I have not posted my celeb crushes - they are all now all old women except Kate Winslet who still looks great. Jennifer Lawrence is probably my favourite of the new talent.

Thanks for the recommendation. I will see if I can find it. I do use a dodgy non-pay site for stuff I can't get from Netflix, though it keeps buffering.

 

Could we just go back to the 90s?

 

So what if they are now all old. Post a photo of when they were young if you want.

 

The 90s sounds good. From the band Skid Row.

 

I just watched that movie, too. What did you think?

 

Ah, okay. I think you’re talking about Only God Forgives. That movie was made by the same director as Drive and I had high hopes for it. Unfortunately, it didn’t deliver, in my opinion. It was just okay. It was stylish; interesting cinematography. But the characters and story just didn’t work for me like Drive did. Drive is my fave Gooseling film. I saw that Lars movie I recommended on Amazon Prime for free.

I also generally think that older films are better. Most of my favorites came from the ‘80s. I’ll have to check out those recommendations from Netflix you made. Sounds good. I also like Kate Winslet. I just watched the Reader a few weeks ago. She won the Oscar for that one. And, of course, I loved Titanic. One of my favorites of all time. Saw it in the theater like 8 times.

A new Blade Runner TV series is supposed to come soon. Hollywood opted for a show rather than a 3rd movie because 2049 didn’t perform well enough at the Box Office.

Cool you crush on Jennifer Lawrence. I saw Passengers with JLaw recently — a space, survival movie. Was good. I liked her in X-Men, too. Do you prefer her blue likeness or all natural?
