Pretty Boys II, Electric Boogaloo

I have a feeling there are a few LT husbands who are going to have a nice weekend.

I take it back, Johnny trumps Heath for sheer volume. Love the nerd glasses.



The dressed up look.



And down.

I think he forgot to zip up in the last one.

I'm sorry, littlegeek, but with those glasses and mustache in the first one, part of me is just aching to add a big fake nose.

"If I told you you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?"

*rimshot*

Oh......I just love him.......I could cry, that's how much!!!

I like the dressed down version myself...
*Cue for fangirl giggling*

dressed up or down he could come Knocking on my door any day of the week! I wouldn't turn him down!

Now, if he happened to show up dressed as Captain Jack well so much the better.

Also Heath can come and say hello too.

*sits and day dreams*

Sodapop mentioned that we had dissed McDreamy on the earlier thread. Definitely a horrible oversight. How do you girlz like his scruffy look?

OK, crap that didn't work. Let's try this. The scruffy one is #2.

Patrick Dempsey

And I was flustered before!
I will admit to clicking on the "patrick dempsey wet" link but it was sorely disappointing.

hi sodapop! 'twas me that posted Phil Schofield...I've had major crush on him for yeeeeeeeears too! glad you liked it!

Orlando Bloom from Elizabeth Town is wonderful, are we all afraid to post him here? Or just lazy like me? I recognize littlegeek's competence and bow to her. :)

MrsLee, I hope this is good enough. I'm not sure if it's E-town exactly, but it's close. (btw, I thought that movie sucked, but for some reason I really didn't mind.)

Thank you, perfect. I thought the movie was a sleeper. It grows on you afterward. I wouldn't mind owning it now.

You're welcome. I'm willing to do the research on your theory of Elizabethtown.

I've really got it bad. We needed one for this thread.

I really like when he's all scrufitated. And the problem with E-town is the American accent. I prefer the British, myself.

I gotta go to a party with my husband and drink mai-tais. You know, anyone can post pictures, it's not hard.

Oh yes, why anyone wants to go mucking about with a lovely accent...couldn't he have been raised in England or something? Yes, I like him better scrufitated (nice word) than as an elf.

#16 Hee hee hee, enjoy your hubby and mai tais! Lazy is the operative word here. I'll be better, I promise. :)

That party was kind of a dud. So anyway, I watched a movie today with a young Russell Crowe, and I was reminded of another reason he's cool. He knits!!!!

Antonio Banderas

Can someone tell me about copyright issues? Or am I a party pooper for bringing it up?

8 littlegeek

Hey! I've been trying to find that website for ages, and I couldn't remember the name of it. Thank you :)

Anyway. Please forgive the fact that this is a trading card for a bad movie (it was the best picture of him I could find):

MrsLee - well, we're not selling or altering these images, or claiming them as our own work. Or distributing them in such a way that they would cause the owners or subjects to lose sales of...anything. So, I don't think it is an issue, is it?

I dunno, I get very confused about the whole thing. *shrug* I guess if we ever get told to remove/stop, whatever, we will. Until then, isn't it lovely? I don't know the name of Dr. Victor Von Doom though, and isn't it a shame those movies couldn't have been better?

MrsLee - Ah, yes, that is the handsome Julian Mcmahon (or something along those lines). And yes, it is a shame how awful the movies are...although I'm planning to go see the second one, anyway. Mindless fun (at least, I hope it's fun...).

I'm pretty sure there's nothing we need to worry about. Although I wish people would put pictures onto photobucket or something instead of hotlinking and stealing bandwidth.

"Although I wish people would put pictures onto photobucket or something instead of hotlinking and stealing bandwidth."

Does not compute, does not compute. I just figured out how to post an image here, and now you want me to jump another learning curve? You young people are never satisfied! :)

MrsLee, great pic of Antonio! I love the drippy ones.

My feeling about bandwidth is, if you're going to have pictures of movie stars on your website, you gotta expect hotlinking. If you develop a problem, get a Spanish penguin.

As for copyright, there are no IP police, so the "owners" have to come after you and tell you to stop. If anyone real posts a cease & desist order, we just take the pictures down.

Busifer, I know you don't like Roger, but how do you feel about the following tennis hotties?





And historically....

Even Martina thought he was hot...



We always called him "lovely Stephan," and not just for his backhand halfvolley.

littlegeek -

My feeling about bandwidth is, if you're going to have pictures of movie stars on your website, you gotta expect hotlinking.

Just because people do it, that's supposed to mean it's right?

Sorry, but I can't get my ethical knickers in a twist about bandwidth. Hotlinking is the whole idea of the internet! If you're going to post something provocative, get a more powerful server or something to block the linking.

I would agree that linking may be the idea of the internet, but hotlinking images? Not so much.

Those websites that cannot handle our hotlinking have been linked-to (see Patrick Dempsey above). I still don't see it as a moral dilemna.

This one is for my daughter.

These are for me.

Peter was oh, so pretty.

Cole Porter said that if O'Toole had been any prettier in Lawrence of Arabia they'd have had to call it Florence of Arabia.

I think I have a book by that name... :)

And hubba hubba. And in the same movie was Omar Sharif. A good looker too!

You gotta love Peter O'Toole. I think my favorite with him has been How To Steal A Million. (Seriously, he has the best hands). Off to look for pictures!!

Oooh! What a lovely thread!

Beware! Newbie about to test her picture posting skills. MrsLee was kind enough to explain, so let's see if I can do this! :)

Forgive me if he's already been posted, I looked a bit but didn't see him, so here goes:

..and in case this doesn't work, it's Viggo Mortensen. :p



Ah, and I see Orlando as a brunette (beautiful) but what did the LT ladies think of him as a blonde?

I did it!!! Wooo! Ooh, it's huge. I'm sorry. :(

Welcome, Rosie 89! Thanks for the nice pic!

Don't apologize for putting up a big picture of Viggo! That's a great picture too.

Orlando as a blonde was ok. I actually haven't seen him in anything else. I always pictured Legolas as being blonde, so it fit my image of him.

#38 - YUM!!!!

#39 Rosie: don't you dare start down that "size" path!! *GDR & blushing*

littlegeek! Are you proud of me? Now I'm teaching others! *blushing with pride in my student* What an intro Rosie!

MrsLee, in honor of your prowess, I present....

#45 - Ahhhhh, lovely, but I'm feeling kinda dumb now. He looks familiar and I can't come up with his name. I hate getting older.

Weren't you the Hugh Jackman fan from the previous thread?

Well, Yeah! That man can look so different though! I just watched the Prestige again last night too. Sigh.

I think we may have a budding hot redhead on our hands.

Rupert at London premiere

The casting has held up, perfectly sensible that Hermione would go for Ron!

Thank you for the welcome Georgia Dawn!

#43 - LOL! :p PS: What is GDR?

MrsLee was an excellent teacher!! I made one boo boo, wound up with the dreaded red x but it didn't take long to find my mistake. Thanks for helping me to get him posted MrsLee.

I won't torture you all by putting "my" other pretty boy up as most people seem to look at me as though I've grown an extra head when I mention him... Apolo Ohno. Sigh again. We'll call him my honorable mention "pretty boy".

I could spend all day gazing at this thread, but I suppose I should go make that chocolate/mocha cake. But ~ but look at Johnny and Orlando and Hugh and Peter and Antonio and.... sigh....

Rosie89, I quite agree about Apolo, and y'all know I'm not above posting about it!

Oh, he's cute.

I think he won that dance contest, too.

Ooooh! There he is!! :) Thank you littlegeek!

...and yep he did win that oh so "classy" trophy on "Dancing With the Stars" this season. I was such a proud little fan! :p Wore my little "dialing" fingers down to nubs, I tell ya! Heh!

Okay I'll be bold and try the picture posting thing one more time.

Doing what he does oh so well!

Watching the marathon today. Rod Serling said (Probably not his own thought): "Science fiction is the improbable made possible, Fantasy is the impossible made probable."

Did we have that quote already on that long lost thread about the difference? Wait a minute, I think that set off a huge debate about what is improbable or impossible, etc. Never mind.

#50, Rosie. GDR = Grinning, ducking and running, as in escaping a retort! I learned it from the same old circles (old compuserve programmers forums) that used LOL. But even better: LMAO and ROTFLMAO (laughing my arse off and rolling on the floor LMAO).

As for Apolo Ohno: the Olympic speedskater and now celebrity champion dancer: I can see that girls would find him attractive. He is a great athlete too.

Speaking of winter olympians, and hot redheads, here's a delicious duuuuude...



None of the pictures are coming up for me....anyway, google Shaun White, he's cute. Nice choppers!

cad_lib - Ah, grinning, ducking, running! How did I miss that? In all the years I've visited discussion boards, you'd think I'd have figured that out.

Apolo: Yes, quite the competitor isn't he? Had an opportunity to attend a World Cup in 2003. Wonderful experience! It's a thrilling sport to watch. Beautiful, graceful yet keeps you on the edge of your seat!

littlegeek,

I wish I could see your picture! Shaun White is adorable!! :) Loved watching him in the '06 Olympics! His attitude, demeanor, relationship with family was such a joy to see.

OK, Rosie, and others who demanded it, here's a picture of Shaun, from my own photobucket account (hope this works!):

There's that smile!! :) I love that hair!

I love Shaun White in the ... is it American Express? Visa? commercials, and every time I say he's cute, my 15 year old daughter gags. How can she not think he's a cutie?? She's a redhead, her boyfriend's a redhead ... kids!

*sighs* someone post Johnny Depp again!

;)

ok!!

Thank you! He's sooo gorgeous! *drools*

=D

I submit for your approval Chris Evans (aka The Human Torch of Fantastic Four fame). Let's see if this lights anyone's fire. :)

Edited to fix the link

I don't know if Vin would want to be called pretty, but.... mmmmmmmm...

aaarrgghh... see what happens when I try and follow directions? I'll try again...

What a horrible oversight!

Hee hee!
:o)

What about this guy?

can't see him!! although it is a very pretty little red cross...

Check out Daniel Radcliffe in Equus on the West End stage...!!

whoa..... Can't we photoshop the.. erm.. excess clothes off?

#73 Suge, I think you have to buy a ticket to see him without the "excess clothes".
#70 Clam, Jason Isaacs is such a good baddie!

#74--> Don't I just wish!

Wow, I never expected Daniel Radcliffe to look like that half-naked. I'm impressed.

omg, #70! He's a hottie, what's his name again?

Still having impure thoughts about Rupert Grint, too. What is wrong with me?

That's Jason Isaacs, little. He was also Capt Hook in the 2003 live action version of Peter Pan and the really nasty, arrogant British general in The Patriot. He seems to have made a career out of playing the villian.

#78 - That's all we Brits are good for ;-)

*drops in, looks around, quickly understands the appeal of Johnny Depp, but doesn’t quite get the Shaun White thing, then finds himself intimidated by all of the buff, shirtless guys, so he quietly leaves...*

I don't get the Shaun White thing either. I think he is FUUUUUUUUUGLY.

#80 & #81 - Looks an awful lot like Carrot Top to me. I don't think he's ugly, he just doesn't ring my bells. Neither does Rupert Grint. But I think the guys who play Rupert's older twin brothers are maturing nicely. ;o)

I have to admit I don't understand the Shaun White thing either, he is not attractive to me. The Carrot Top comparison just made it worse.

Then again, I'm very picky when it comes to eye candy ...

Speaking of Harry Potter, does anyone remember this guy? Back when the first HP came out, all my friends and I thought he was SO hot.



Anyone agree? And does anyone recognize him as Oliver Wood? He's aged well. =)

Ah yes, he is cute! A tad young for me, though. ;o) I love watching these movies with my daughter, who'll be 16 soon. Our tastes are quite similar!

Ahh... Sean Biggerstaff who played Oliver Wood.

Someone in the casting office had a good eye and a better sense of humor. ;)

Redhead love is a funny thing. Either you have it or you don't. I think I have acquired the bug through prolonged attachment to a redhead.

My husband says he can always spot those afflicted. They have a kind of glaze over their eyes when they see all that orange hair.

I've been married for 17 years to a red head with a full red beard and moustache. And I still think Shaun's uglier than sin. Rupert isn't much better.

:D

And anyone but me kind of creeped out by the near-porn pose of Daniel? Yeah, he looks pretty hot, but he's like 12. (Okay, 17, but still.)

Morphy, it is skirting the line, I grant you. But he wants to be taken seriously as an adult actor, or why do Equus? That makes me feel less creepy about it.

**Oooh oooh, hand waving** Weighing in on the Shawn White thing... in my case it's not his looks. He's not exactly my thing physically, but adored his fun loving, humble and loving attitude during the Olympics. He won me over when he ran to the sidelines to give his family big hugs. :) I'm a goober.

Nice pics posted since I last checked in! Loving the JD pics! Don't know the others, but they look good. :p

hey...like this thread! But how do you post pics up here? Gotta add my favorite pretty boyz to the list! (namely Josh Holloway and Joe Flanigan!)

#90 AtlantisGirl, here's how. You need to have the exact URL of the picutre/graphic on the web. Typically it ends in .jpg. This is then put inside angle brackets (less than, greater than signs) and some double quotes and key words.

My flikr account has a photo of my dog, right click on the picture of the dog, click properties and highlight/copy the location or URL. This gives me:
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1079/652693028_b2d62d129f.jpg

Now the extras:

The reason you see all that text inside the angle brackets is because an extra space after the cause the text to show rather than the graphic. The next post will take out the spaces and show you Blue Mountain Moppet, the most beautiful English Setter in PA, if not the whole USA.

Here's Blue Mountain Moppet

Thanks cad_lib...OK, here goes...

rats! I tried four times, four different combos & it's not working...boohoo...

one more try - maybe it's the edit function that won't let me...



shoot. That's about as good as it's gonna get from me...*sigh*

Here ya go AtlantisGirl:

Disclaimer: This should not be viewed as my endorsement of the objectification of men... ;-)

Hey - thanks Dodger! (how'd you do dat?)

*stares at pic*

mmmm...sorry. Going into fangirl dribble moment here...

AtlantisGirl, try it with my message #91 first. Copy the text beginning with .

Paste it into a message. Press enter a few times, paste it in again, the go to the opening bracket (the (the SHift/Period key), so that the line begins

ok, im coming in late on this one, but thought I'd post this

please god, work!


Yay!
enjoy!

and another one...



man, was I born in the wrong decades!

Well, Plant doesn't look that good, imho, but MAN CAN HE SING!!!!

When i see pics of Robert Plant from back then, I just want to make him a nice sandwich!

Brando was hott!

hmmmm. A Plant and Brando sandwich? I'm in!

here's another favorite!

Is that Stephen Chow? He's hawt!

yes, yes it is :-) If I ever met him I'd giggle like a 13 year old schoolgirl and pass out :-)

Did you see the interview with him on the DVD of Kung Fu Hustle? He's not only cute, he's smart and funny, too!

I own almost every film he's made :-) He's been around for a while. Check out "Love on Delivery", "The Beggar King", and "Tricky Master"...oh, and Shaolin Soccer! :-)

Yowzah! Who's that? he looks like someone who's pics I can share with my daughter.

*wanders of to google Stephen Chow*

Ok, I didn't put up any pics in the other thread about crushes... I hope you can forgive me for including three in this one O:-)

First, I give you Mr. American Psycho, Christian Bale, in all his raw goodness:


Mr. George Newbern... oh those eyes should be outlawed!!!


And then... ahem...

Mr. Paul Rudd. Yowzah!! indeed...


Enjoy. ;)

OK cad_lib...trying once more...

man! maybe it's just photobucket being a pain...last try...



YAY!! it WORKED!!

#111 - aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Just be sure to save a copy of the successful post in a text file so you can go back to it the next time *smile* I had to refer to it a few times before I burned the trick into nerves of fingers.

Thanks for your perseverance, cad_lib! *grins*

I think Tony Jaa is a pretty boy, though I'm not sure I would say so to his face. Just watched Ong bak with my son. Amazing. I would have put a picture in, but they didn't do justice to his eyes, and when they did, they didn't show his muscles. One just won't do without the other.

Thanks for reviving this thread MrsLee....yum....I feel inspired.

Why don't we just post 2 pictures of Tony Jaa? He's totally worth it!

Works for me littlegeek!

Is it wrong of me to bump up this thread?

*looks innocently*

Not wrong at all! I wasn't able to be on Talk much this summer, so I totally missed it the first go-round. Nice morning's browsing, even if I looked at some of the pictures and went "Whaaaa?"

It's been a lousy day, I need some pretty:

I have no idea who that guy in #122 is, but allow me to reiterate for those who may not know, Heath is once again single.

Mmmmmmm.... l Love me a bit of Heath....

>123 littlegeek: - #122 is Michael Vartan, probably most notably from Alias, but he also played Lancelot in the miniseries version of Mists of Avalon.

I decided to add to this thread as well as the women we love thread :)



Michael Weatherley = yum...

Although he's taught me something about how I watch TV, I very much see the characters rather than the actors (which i guess is how its meant to be), because I dont find him very pretty in NCIS, but I drool over him in dark angel... I think Tony's sleeze factor in NCIS makes me think of him as not quite as cute, but Logan's whole character is very sexy methinx :)

May I tell you ladies, that I just watched "The Man Who Cried" - and -

Heaven help us, Johnny on a horse....

Yowza.

Actually, no, wait. That one's a double yowza.

So it is with that pleasant thought that I bid you girls a good night.

*Smirks. Bows. Leaves.*

#108- Goodness. That is just about the prettiest picture of Christian Bale that I've ever seen, which basically makes it the prettiest thing in existence. Yipes.

I'm so happy this thread has been resurrected that I could just cry! So much pretty....

Very nice to revisit this happy thread...
Except the pictures of Heath make me sad.
:o/

I know, me too. Such a tragic shame. But it is nice to remember him at his best.

Absolutely!

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but the only guy from TV that I think is hot is Lister from Red Dwarf.

#133 - It takes all sorts to make this world go round! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have some far wierder crushes than Craig Charles!

love Red Dwarf.... wonderful silliness.
On a different note... Thanks for all the pretties to oogle.

This is Dolce & Gabanna's new model:



*wipes drool from chin*

I like the tattoo, and his cheeckbones are delicious, but he has that icky "shoulder muscles are eating his neck" thing going on. I do like the stubble thing tho.

Ahhh Gavin Rossdale *faints*

#133

I had a huge crush on Rimmer. So I seriously won't be judging you.


Also, Hugh Laurie. He's MINE. Have loved him since BLACKADDER.


And right now I have a big wonky Neil Gaiman crush.


But, as some of you may know, the love of my life...


Also have big girl crush on Alan Rickman, David Tennant, Christopher Eccleston, and quite a few more too embarrassing to add.

Ditto, ellevee. Alan Rickman is HOT in that super-British way! I just saw him in Sense and Sensibility with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet. WOW. He's even wonderful as Severus Snape, even though I hate that character.
Also who's the guy that plays Captain Jack on Torchwood. He's too cute.

#140: http://www.johnbarrowman.com/

I have spent far too long on this site in the past few days...

#140, 141

Captain Jack is HOT. Love him.

Aww, I LOVE Snape. From book 1, I thought, 'He's brilliant, he's sarcastic, he's a loner, and everyone hates/fears him. Sign me up!'

And my friend somehow ended up owning four copies of Sense and Sensibility, because she kept getting worried she would lose one. But she has an Alan problem. We're looking into support groups.

#142 -- When you find that support group, let me know.

#142, 143 -I'll be there right beside you, still swooning over the lovely Alan.

Swooning?

Do you ladies get the vapors?
;o)
I think Alan is hottest as Snape, but I've enjoyed him in many other roles as well.

I'd have to agree, Clam -- but I had a Snape crush long before I had a Rickman crush.

Steve Bacic. I know you will all find it hard to believe but the man is even HOTTER in person! Love those guns!

How? How can I post a picture? It would be a crime to let this thread die without a picture of Josh Bernstein...

>148 estarriol:

The HTML code is:

<img src="IMAGE ADDRESS">

where the address starts with http:// and ends with .jpg (or .gif or whatever) - you can usually find this by right-clicking on the picture and choosing "Copy Image Location" or something.

If it's big and you want to shrink it, the code is:

<img src="IMAGE ADDRESS" height="PIXELS" width="PIXELS">

If you use only one or the other (height or width), it'll scale the picture appropriately. 300-400 pixels in the longer dimension is usually about right for this kind of thread.

And, to offset all the computer talk, here's some Hugh Dancy:



Purty.

Yay fyrefly!

Ladies and gentlemen....Josh bernstein!

Yes, definitely on Hugh Dancy. I just saw a movie called Evening that he was in. It was pretty good and he was adorable. Not so much the love interest, though.

I also agree on Alan Rickman. His Colonel Brandon is my favorite- and that's saying something because I generally don't sympathize with the doormats/piners in stories.

Here is the lovely Daniel Bruhl. For some reason photos just don't do him justice. See Goodbye, Lenin!

in the green on the right

>152 frogbelly: I saw Evening recently as well - I've been on a Hugh Dancy kick - but was underwhelmed. A lot of talented actors, not a whole lot of plot. I've heard the book's good but it didn't adapt well for the screen at all.

Not so much the love interest, though.

Oh, I dunno, I don't think Patrick Wilson's particularly hard on the eyes:



Also highly agreed on Daniel Bruhl - I've got two of his movies on my Netflix Queue. :)

ETA: I just realized - I think someone photoshopped Kate Winslet's face out of that picture (the blurry area on his shoulder) so now he's just got a disembodied arm over his shoulder. Creepy.

Oops, I didn't write that very well. I meant that Hugh Dancy wasn't really the love interest in the story. Yes, Mr. Wilson was quite nice to look at. I prefer dark haired men for the most part, though.

I can see where Evening would have been better in print. I'll bet there was a lot of inner monologue from main character that just didn't translate to film.

re: Daniel Bruhl. Get Love in Thoughts.

Ladies, how about Colin Firth? Wasn't he just wonderful in "Bridget Jones' Diary"? Also in "The Last Legion".
BTW did you know that his character, Mark Darcy, in "Bridget Jones'" was based on Jane Austen's "Mr. Darcy" character? The name, I mean.

>154 frogbelly: re: Daniel Bruhl. Get Love in Thoughts.

That and Goodbye, Lenin are the two movies on my queue. :)

#155 The whole of Bridget Jones was based on Pride and Prejudice, actually. Loosely, but still. Just FYI.

I just saw the first episode of Dirty Sexy Money.

Oh, that Peter Krause is a lovely, lovely man.

Thank you for this one!

Reviving a pretty boy thread from when Heath Ledger was still alive saddens me.

:o(

Well, in Heath's honor I'll add another pretty blond boy. This is one of my daughter's favs:

I was a bit googly eyed over one of the boys in Circus Oz when I went the other week, he had one of the best bodies I've seen in a while, he wasnt big at all, but his muscles were so well formed & his arms were just gorgeous! Anyway, its not the best pic, but here he is:

Sorry to revive such an old thread again, but we just had one of the most beautiful men I've ever seen visit my work & I had to share, his name is Paapa Kweku & he is going to run some fitness type courses through work, here he is:



ETA - that photo doesnt do him justice either!!!

What does ETA stand for, here?

Edited To Add

I've been watching Warehouse 13. Eddie McClintock looks good dressed up, or without a shirt (I'll post the clothed version for decency's sake - Google will find fim for you shirtless very easily).

Can we start a new version of this thread? I've been having a lousy week... :(

Never mind, I'll go ahead and start it.

Here you go, enjoy & post away. ;)
