Everyone has different fantasies...

Well, though I fantasize about female movie stars, I would have to admit I watch the movies for, well, the movie itself. There are a few movies with "my girls" that I will rent no matter what...but for the most part, I rent movies for the probability it is a great movie. The same goes for males...I will rent ANY movie with Tom Hanks, "Jack" (you KNOW who I mean) Morgan Freeman, Sean Connery, Johnny Dep, Sean Penn, Keanu Reeves, Brad Pitt, Bruce Willis, Clint Eastwood, and others that don't come to mind immediately. But I'll rent movies from my "top 5" even if the movie isn't promising. I mean, I like the actors/actresses so much that I just want to see how they did (though the movie may suck). Maybe that's a sad idea to display here but that's just me.

But, I DO watch movies for the "wealth" of the movie most of the time. LOTS of foreign films that are subtitled. Sundance awards, Cann FF awards...etc. And, I don't neglect "chick flicks". Generally speaking, "chick flicks" by women directors and women writers are great movies! Why? 'Cause they had to get past the "good ole boy" network to get produced.

But, in all the movies I (and my wife) watch, I take note of the eye candy (like Mandy Moore, for example, in "A Walk To Remember"). Which was a nice movie.

I have to go with
"I'm sure they are pretty and all, but are they intelligent"?

Who really knows? Angelina Jolie, who you MUST know, is probably weird in the head. But besides the many movies I have seen with her, "Girl Interruped" notwithstanding (her Acadamy award), she spends a lot of time in impoverished countries. Spin? Maybe. But I don't think so.

Let's take Goldie Hawn...you're the (near) same age as me. Remember her on "Laugh-in"? Bimbo? Most ANYTHING I read has her as one of the shrewdest people in Hollywood. I didn't list her because I was trying to put a list of 20 togehter that I thought were VERY nice looking (read: sexy) and that the "youth" among us would know. I'd give a testicle to spend a day with Goldie...if she would just be herself.

We'll never really know who among them is intelligent or "dopey". When it comes down to it, most everything they do is "spin".

Well, at the moment, Liv (can you say, LOTR"), Elizabeth, and Denise are winning.

I know it's tough to pick through my choices...wish I had a better way of finding out how you guys think

Who do you like in anime? I like this style (posted here with references to the author and site I got if from):

I don't really like any particular "person" as much as I like the way the artist does them.

I don't know several of the ones you mentioned. But Claudia is a dreamboat...

I started to add Reese but remembered the "lawyer" movies she made and left her behind but she does have great looks!

Bridget is nice, too but she hasn't floated to the top of my fantasies lately.

And before I upset my wife, she isn't too far behind these girls (considering their age and hers). She's a bit heavier (and older) these days but (WOW) to be able to lay next to her in bed every night is what just about everyone my age would consider a dream come true.

My favorite girls from anime:

1. Nene Romanova [Bubblegum Crisis (original, not 2040)]
2. Rei Hino [Sailor Mars, from Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon]
3. Rei Ayanami [Neon Genesis Evangelion]
4. Shampoo [Ranma 1/2]
5. Videl [Dragonball Z]

The first three I have spent more time thinking about than all of the 10 in the previous list put together.

Wow, I thought I was mostly ignorant about pop culture (there were several shocked faces when the semester finally ended, and I told a bunch of people watching "The OC" and "The Simple Life" that I've never heard of the shows... apparently, they're rather popular...). I know of every female on that list!

One that I would add to the list, after stopping at a newsstand in LAX and picking up the January Maxim; Michelle Branch. Hop over to maximOnline.com if you haven't seen it, and you'll see what I mean
