two things

friday night without the 360 is very strange.

i finally watched 40 year old virgin the other day. it was funny, but why do people keep putting mimi rogers in roles where she's supposed to be this alluring, irresistible woman? It's a lot like in the '90s when Michael Douglas kept getting those roles where women were all after him. "What? Huh? Fat grandpa?" Mimi Rogers is like "skinny grandma" instead.

Um...Mimi Rogers isn't in The 40 Year Old Virgin. That's Catherine Keener.

Really? I just stared and stared and thought it was Mimi Rogers.

Are you sure it's not a Stephen King/Richard Bachman thing going on between Keener and Rogers?

The only movie in which I found Michael Douglas remotely attractive was Romancing the Stone. And I strongly suspect that his sexiness factor was that high only due to his proximity to Kathleen Turner.

Yeah, I was actually going to call that movie out as well. I loved it! well, the ending was a bit... meh, but everything else, the scenes on the lam in the jungle? ¡Excellente!

Oh, come on. It couldn't have ended any other way! It was a romance novel!

...And I'm a GUY. I'm made to dislike that stuff.

I liked the movie (Romancing the Stone) but never got the whole Michael Douglas attraction at all. Or Richard Gere for that matter. They lump together in my mind.

Miss Keener is the anti-loli~!

Sad to think that guy gets married and never gets it on with a woman younger than 60 his entire life : P

I think the casting agent felt that since she is disturbingly skeletal, that is just as good as youthful. Hollywood logic.
