mostly about shirts

May 10, 2006 13:38

The other day someone told me about a friend of theirs who is an older man, devoutly Christian and therefore frustratedly and conflictedly unable to do anything positive about the fact that he's also gay. Apparently he has seen Brokeback Mountain twenty-seven times since it opened on circuit here. He goes to see it every afternoon, and cries a lot ( Read more... )

His bluff Flashman-style arrogance and caddish behaviour grow on you though... :)

Who would you prefer to share a remote island with then? Jack? Jin? Boone? The hobbit guy from LotR? ;P

I never liked Flashman much, actually. I loved the warped history in the stories, but Flashman I always wanted to kick. Currently I think I'd most cheerfully share the island with the doctor, who is attractive in a sensible, down-to-earth sort of way. *kicks bad-boy fixation audibly, and hard*

Lol. :)

I too think Jack's probably the most appealing, really, but he just takes himself so durn *seriously*. Sawyer has a sense of humour. Much better.

I give you my father: very actively gay and very actively Catholic. In the interests of reconciling the two, he has gone so far as to study ancient Greek, the better to enable him to research homosexuality in the early church. (Not such a big deal then, apparently.) I reckon any degree of perspective on "the church" as a human institution should enable a person to resolve their conflicts, but then what do I know, I have no faith and am not gay.

And stories like that make me hate the church a lot.

Also, I'm not a huge Sawyer fan (his looks don't particularly do it for me), but I am a huge fan of men taking their shirts off. Dickheads or not. Hey, his character is made up, but the torso is real. *happy sigh*

You should check out the 'Greek' boyfriend in 'Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' if you want some eye-candy - mmmmmmm :>

Thak.

Josh Holloway? bumpycat May 10 2006, 22:02:01 UTC

I looked him up in IMDB, and am still mystified. Looks like a non-entity to me (then again, I haven't watched Lost, and am unlikely to get excited by men taking their shirts off :P ).

But I thought you liked total dickheads?! :)

Re: Sawyer extemporanea May 11 2006, 06:57:28 UTC

Hey! So over that! Like I said above, kicking the bad-boy fixation. And besides, they haven't all been total dickheads. The ones who are are simply horribly memorable.

And well might you cower beneath the mantle of anonymity, rude person!

Re: Sawyer anonymous May 12 2006, 10:18:13 UTC

Didn't mean to cower, I just forgot to sign my name :)

I too, typically fancy bad boys in fiction. I can't explain it but I'm totally consistent. In the first screen shot of Sawyer he was slouching and smoking (tv code for "bad boy") and it was lust at first sight. But it is a harmless fixation so I'm not trying to kick it, and he could never replace Spike.

Anyway, I am far more sensible in real life.
