<p>yea, well just imagine how many times you’d hear it if you grew up an hour away from Galveston.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Minor detail: the character was actually a janitor at MIT. The girlfriend, played by Minnie Driver, was a Harvard coed.</p>
<p>^^thanks for the detail, coureur</p>
<p>Yerrrrright.</p>
<p>More of my hearthrobs: Ben Kingsley, Adrien Brody.
More olive skin and dark hair. Yep, it’s a pattern, definitely.
I forgive Adrien for being tall.</p>
<p>Serious. What I know about Hollywood stars is what I see on the covers of checkout tabloids. I’ve heard the name, but I’ve never seen any of his movies and can’t picture what he looks like. . .so maybe Matt hasn’t been involved in any major scandals? </p>
<p>I DO know who Glen Campbell, Speed Racer, and Bobby Sherman, are and confess to crushes on all of them.</p>
<p>(“Gentle On My Mind” is my favorite. . .)</p>
<p>Yes, Troy the movie was an embarassment for all concerned. Good thing I watched it at home and not in a theater - I kept yelling at the screen “that wasn’t in the books” and “that didn’t happen then” and “what about the other 9 years” and finally “Nooooo - he didn’t live”. Homer must have been rolling in his grave. But then I’m still upset that GWTW skipped Scarlett’s first two children.</p>
<p>From “Hello Twelve Hello Thirteen” in Chorus Line-</p>
<p>“Robert Goulet, Robert Goulet
My God, Robert Goulet!”</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>“My God, that Steve McQueen’s real sexy,
Bob Goulet out, Steve McQueen in!”</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>“Steve McQueen out. Nureyev in!”</p>
<p>That was me.</p>
<p>Mr. Damon also starred in Team America world police. Although it seemed like his acting was a bit stiff, almost puppetlike…</p>
<p>My childhood TV crushes were Mr. Spock on “Star Trek” - the ultimate unavailable man - and the guy that played Illya Kuriakin on “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” Then I moved on to Ken Wahl on “Wiseguy.”</p>
<p>haven’t read whole thread.
Childhood crushes?</p>
<p>David Selby as Quentin Collins* Dark Shadows*, Alan Arkin ( who I still adore) as John Singer* The Heart is a Lonely Hunter *,Eric Burdon & Marvin Gaye. </p>
<p>I liked those dark brooding types when I was 10,
[and</a> baby, I still do](<a href=“http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20056706,00.html]and”>http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20056706,00.html) ;)</p>
<p>All that talk of House, et al is making me wish we had commercial tv (instead of just a set that plays DVDs, video games…)!</p>
<p>Troy was interesting, wasn’t it? Brad Pitt–so bland, Orlando–not appealing at all. But–Eric Bana–I thought about him for weeks! lol I think it was a combo of the role played (brave, dedicated family man) & the appearance. I never go on appearance alone.</p>
<p>I was much amused on another discussion board dedicated to the literary works of Patrick O’Brian when in 2003 one of his books, Master and Commander, was made into a movie. The board, which is normally devoted to endless discussions of the minutest details of the books, was suddenly invaded by a horde of middle-aged women all gushing like like school girls over the dreamy Russell Crowe.</p>
<p>It was months before the smitten new comers could be politely ushered out and proper British literary decorum restored to the discussions.</p>
<p>This is hilarious, and my S would absolutely disown me if he knew I was posting, but (in reverse chronological order):</p>
<p>Dermott Mulroney (The Wedding Date). Hugh Grant (I ignore the LA prostitute incident). Any of the Oceans 11 (12-13) guys, especially the George-Matt-Brad trio. I found myself sneaking a peek at it again on TNT last night.</p>
<p>Any of the Beatles, but especially George Harrison. Well, except Ringo. Sorry, Ringo, but you were never my type. (Saw this bumper sticker yesterday: “Still Angry at Yoko.”)</p>
<p>And oh, those Mouseketeers! (I am so happy to find others on CC who are as old as the hills.) My first heartthrob was Tim Considine of “Spin and Marty” on the MMC.</p>
<p>And last but not least: Ricky Nelson. I still know all the words to “Travelin’ Man.”</p>
<p>Back to work :)</p>
<p>Speaking of Ringo, I was definitely a Paul fan as a youngster. But I find the older Ringo much more attractive now. He seems way cooler than Paul.

<p>I’d forgotten about Ilya Kuriaken!! Me too!</p>
<p>I agree Russell Crowe is hot- not really the reason I saw M & C twice ( really…) but I also think he is an excellent actor- I like em intense.
( so this is the women’s room right?)</p>
<p>I wonder how much I will remember 20 years from now.
My mother was seriously infatuated with Tom Jones about 30 years ago, so with her birthday last week, and I came this close to getting her a Cd of Tom Jones doing covers with bands like the Pretenders and BareNaked Ladies, but she doesn’t even * remember* liking Tom Jones and strenously denies it :rolleyes: [Personally I appreciate him more now than I did 30 years ago](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2py1kW8dHaI”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2py1kW8dHaI</a>)</p>
<p>Re Eric Bana I saw that he is making the Time Travelers wife, very romantic book.
I really like quirky guys too- I appreciate them a lot more than I used to- I think [Bill Nighy](<a href=“http://www.megwood.com/archive/billnighyf.html”>http://www.megwood.com/archive/billnighyf.html</a>)is sexy for instance</p>
<p>How about Jimmy Smits?</p>
<p>I too had forgotten David McCallum! And I loved him so. Really, either one of the Men from Uncle would do.</p>

<p>I had a running feud with a friend who always claimed Secret Agent Man was better.</p>

<p>But she was from England anyway so of course she liked the British guy better!</p>
<p>Okay…I’ll fess up to my first “crush”…former Yalie (I obviously go for the educated types) Henry Winkler…the Fonz was too cute. Also liked Michael Landon and Charleton Heston…must have had a thing for older guys.</p>
<p>And if we are going to count in Speedracer as someone previously posted, I’ll cop to having a crush on…Bob’s BIG BOY!?! I know…I’m a shrinks dream!</p>
<p>Yeah, I was thinking Fonzi myself.</p>
<p>emeraldkity4 - my mother liked Tom Jones too. For my 10th or 11th birthday she got me a cassette player with the only tape being Tom Jones. I will never forget her playing it and singing along. I would have rather had Donny Osmond singing “Puppy Love”.</p>
