The "Uh huh's" and "Oh Ya's"




This is a small but important dedication to those moments in film when you fall in love. I'm not taking about story plot, I'm talking about myself. These are the moments that you remember from a film, not because they were important to the story line, or because they freaked you out, but because they turned you ON. it's that.. "whoa.. who is that glorious man?" ( sorry to woman lovers alike, but I have to write from my point of view so if you have some female "yooza's" moments then feel free to send the to me and I will post them for you). First on the short list would be the scene in "The Virgin Suicides" with Josh Hartnet. I am not the biggest Josh fan, but I can appreciat'e good bone structure as much as the next girl. I am taking about his swagger and style as he walks down the hallway to Heart's "Magic Man". He whispers into Lux's ear "you're a stone fox" and we all just melt a little bit. The character of Tripp is the essence of high school cool, and we can't help but drool a little bit. Number two on the list goes out to Tristan Thorn ( played by Mr. Charlie Cox) of the book and film "stardust". I am a sucker for movies with swordfights and men wearing vests.. so I loved the book before I loved the movie. It's a feel good fantasy with a head turning stud. He starts out as a lovesick bumbling fool, and somehow by the end of the movie he turns into a sword-wheeling badass with a swagger ( that is an important adjective to use because some men have it and some men don't) that makes my tummy flip a little. Plus he has the cutest side smile of all time. The last man of the evening ( and don't worry there will be more to come in time) goes to none other than the master of swagger himself.. Han Solo. Don't hate on the Star Wars geek, he is a God. He has the sass and spunk you can't help but love, and in the end he is always the good guy. We all love a badass. Han is no exception. Ok, more on THIS topic at another date.. I have to go to class. Swagger away gentlemen... swagger away...
