I think I find Zac Efron hot
Tonight, my sister (who is here staying with me for the week - yay! More on that later, but for now let it be known that this is partially why I've not been online much. The rest of the reason has to do with what a particularily astute and surprised Telstra man called "my Building's hodge podge, insane mess of a wiring system" that has ensured I've not been getting any bills and therefore not paying so Telstra cut my phone off. ANYWAY) and I went to the movies.
We saw 17 Again, which was actually really good. The idea's a huge cliche`, but the execution was great, and it was clever, very funny, and I liked it far, far more than I expected. The subplot with the friend and the principal was especially inspired. Also, Matthew Perry. Seriously you guys, I highly recommened it. (To everyone but K, because embarrassment squick liek whoa. It could have been so, so much worse, but I was still hugging my legs a lot in it)
However, while watching it, I realised something strange and rather unexpected: I think I find Zac Efron hot.
Like, really, seriously attractive. Not in the Highschool Musical movies era, because yeahno, but in this? He is gorgeous. Especially at the beginning with the curly hair. He has a really long body, which I soooo like in a man (possibly we could trace this back to anime, but we don't need to go there), and moves really well (fecking cool dance scene at the start, yo), and has good timing delivery and a good voice and is a savvy guy who is good at his job, and in this he had that paternal thing going on, which is really very nice and. Um, yeah. He's a bit of alright, I reckon.
I am... somewhat mortified at myself. My thirteen year old, Highschool Musical obsessed cousin actually had a point. Which is just not on.
If I start fancying those Zack and Cody kids from the Disney channel someone send help (and possibly the authorities, because, as I said to my cousin when she was fussing over them and asked me "don't you think they're sooo cute, Stell?", honey, if I were to dig them, that would be worrying).

I think for a lot of girls that like him it's the smile or the eyes, but personally I don't think his eyes are particularily that special, and (though it is a very good smile in other ways) his teeth are so white it's disconcerting. Really, facial features-wise he's not my type (though I can see that he certainly ain't ugly). I noticed him more for his body and his vibe, I think. He's very nicely built - lithe and tall, but strong, and wears his clothes and carries himself well, and has great hair. He has a really nice presence too, and seems to be a legitimately decent actor. It wasn't so much that I liked his face, but more that I liked him, I suppose.

his teeth! i know! it's insane. i've never really watched him in anything for more than five minutes, so i can't comment on his overall impression, so i guess i have no real response on that point?

I don't really pay that much attention to JT, but I reckon he's a bit of alright. The shaved head matches his eyebrows, and he has good lips and skin and stubble. I've never really looked at his body though, to be honest, and if you hadn't have pointed it out, I wouldn't have known it was so built. How did I miss that?
Really white teeth freak me out, man.

don't get me wrong - i admire jt for his sheer goddamn style. when he dresses suave he is seriously amazing. he's just too nice -- actually, i think it's sort of like you and hugh. i appreciate where other people are coming from, but i can't get past the fact that he always looks so incredibly enthusiastically happy when he smiles. i can't find people with that much joie de vivre sexy; it's like objectifying a puppy. (also, i don't know! here, have a shot from the guru (http://towleroad.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/02/29/justin_timberlake_speedo.jpg). <a href="http://cm1.theinsider.com/media/0/43/65/justin_timberlake_6.0.0.0x0.393x493.jpeg>and this</a>) they're just <i>weird</i>

Godammit. I'm not even that hugely in to JT, but then you go and bring out damn stubble and coherency goes out the window. I'm a sucker for a man with good stubble.
BUT! I actually like JT's goofiness. If I were more awake I would gather some links to further elaborate on the many joys of goofiness, but I'm not, so, I'll just tell you. Um... yeah. A bit of goofiness is ace. Possibly it's some maternal girly thing, but I have a real soft spot for it, especially from a guy who's usually more suave or solemn.
(God, I need to go to bed. Train of thoughts aren't going well and I have lost the ability to form wit or simile)

see, if you want goofiness from a guy who's more suave or stern, you go for like... liam neeson. seriously, his performance in love actually is probably my favourite part of the movie all-up - bill nighy's storyline is my favourite, and hugh grant's girl is friggin' hot, but seriously. liam neeson being a caring, cool father. come on. i know he's not exactly a spring chicken, but it's so awesome.
(go! nestle all snug in your bed! with visions of timberlakes danc(...ing) in your head!)

Not to dismiss your taste in men or anything (which I find both fascinating and delightfully amusing), but Hugh Jackman is someone I really don't get. He's hardly ugly and seems a lovely bloke, but he just does nothing for me. He's just so nice looking. Like, average, friendly, neutral sort of nice, the kind of nice that is entirely platonic. Granted, his face is again not my type, but, to me, nothing he does, even a scene like that, invokes any sort of sexual vibe whatsoever.
... Does that make any sense at all?
no subject
i mean, i guess it sort of makes sense, really. he is just such a Nice Guy, i can understand it getting in the way of everything else, but that's a lot of why i love him. some people are seductively attractive (http://www.gimpusers.de/dl/AngelinaJolie.jpg), some people are suavely attractive (http://www.nerve.com/CS/blogs/theremoteisland/2009/03/george_clooney_1%5B1%5D.jpg), some people are mickey (http://3771.livejournal.com/tag/on+your+knees+to+the+king), some are tex (http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2007/04/30/Tex2_narrowweb__300x488,0.jpg), and some people are just goddamn nice (http://static.open.salon.com/files/hugh_jackman1226353405.jpg). in the words of so many women throughout the ages, he's the sort of guy you can bring home to mother. he looks like a cuddler, you know? and when he gets his softcore-porn-outdoor-shower on, it's just sort of a bonus. it's like when that really cute girl you dig for being cute but mainly for being funny and cool to hang out with suddenly reveals she likes sexy underwear.
i could go on, but i shan't, because you made fun of my taste in guys :(

I understand the appeal of the cuddleyly attractive - I mean, I have a bizarre and all consuming passion for men in cardigans, (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/clomoo/new%20icons/Misc/jpc523.png) which is rivaled only by my ridiculous crush on Germany and German film and TV, which I consider to be the most adorable thing in the world, and there are so many adorable German boys I just want to squeeze. And hey, I want to marry Colin Firth almost entirely because he is just so damn lovely.
Oh, kitten, I didn't make fun! I really am interested. And how could I tease you when you give me such pretty pretty links?
no subject
that is understandable, i guess. but i think most men who wear cardigans (i'm going to be honest, i don't encounter them that often) are too far out the nice side for me to me to even consider them as anything other than like, teddy bears. and, you know, ew. teddy bears. i think we'll have to disagree on this vital point :p
oh, kitten now? well then, all is forgiven. ;) but i... i just appreciate guys? aesthetically? i honestly don't think i'd ever do anything sexual with one, but i can find them sexy, if that makes sense. (cuddling is another matter, of course) both genders are subjects of my objectification, and they like it, dammit
no subject
Ah! But, cardigans are not limited to the nice guy! For it is the cardigan itself that is cuddly, not necesariy the person in it! Cardigans can make a guy seem more vulnerable, like he's hiding away in it. They have connotations! And, I am not at all lucid enough to properly disect this at the moment, but essentially I mean cardigans used in texts (because you don't really encounter them that often in everyday life), the IDEA of the man in a cardigan.
That's a good boy. :P To further make it up to you, shall I share my taste in women? Because I know exactly what you mean with the appreciating minus the sexual (though my cuddles are given out rarely and discriminately, I'm afraid. You cuddleslut, you), because, dude - Jana Wendt, Julia Sawalha, (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/83507883/15229150) Emma Watson as Hermione Granger (especially when hitting people, for some reason), this chick (http://www.bravo.pl/download/multimedia/pictures/0806/pic7224606111248402022927.jpg) - all of them are astoundingly attractive.
