Here is the pretty and talented Juno Temple who I almost keep waiting for her to… break somehow or something.  Become a bigger name than she is.  Not because it seems inevitable but because she seems to pick interesting roles in interesting movies and she does a pretty good job in them.  I was watching Afternoon Delight and I was impressed that it never went the “hooker with a heart of gold” route with her but also it made me realize the amount of range she has shown in movies I have seen her in.  Frankly, pragmatic, fatalist sex worker is a huge difference than the mostly innocent she played in Killer Joe.  Or just the horrible human being she played in whatever that Jewish Wishing Teapot movie was.  Anyway, it feels almost like she has under rated range.  I figure part of this is because to the population at large she is unknown, the movies she is in are hardly huge (though seriously, there is a McConaissance going on so you all should at least see Killer Joe for that if nothing else).  She also, even when the roles are deeper is still the eye candy in each movie.  I don’t mean her role exists only for eye candy but she is clearly the attractive one in whatever movie she is in and I think that really makes people discount her to a degree.  Or ignore her work maybe?  I don’t know, not everyone ignores it, I have a friend labcoats-glitter-and-sexdreams who loves her, so she has her fans.  I mean everyone does, it just struck me that she could use some more appreciation.  Plus, as noted, she is very attractive.  Anyway, I was watching Afternoon Delight which was… flawed but still enjoyable and now I am thinking about her and today I want to fuck Juno Temple.

So the Oscars, right?  I happen to enjoy the Oscars, much like I enjoy the Olympics, I like seeing people genuinely moved when they win something.  I mean, the Oscars doesn’t deliver quite as often (the best awards are the ones that go to people behind the scenes, they always seem more genuinely moved) but usually there is at least someone who gives me a big smile as they win.  This year it was definitely Lupita Nyong’o.  I am not sure how anyone could have watched her and not been happy for her win, she was just so genuinely moved and just so charming up there.  Plus she is very pretty.  It’s not really strange that it didn’t occur to me how pretty she was when I watched 12 Years a Slave because that movie was a brutal experience, there was no looking for eye candy in that, more looking away at horrible brutality.  But she definitely was pretty at the Oscars, I loved her dress and just.. her, she was great.  So today I want to fuck Lupita Nyong’o.

Here is Kristen Bell.  If you know me you may well know that I love Kristen Bell because she is the best.  I am not sure if being the best is a great reason to love someone, since they are the best they may not need your love I guess, they have so much already.  But because she is the best I have no choice so the whole debate is pointless.  The point is she is the best and I adore her and she is great.  Why is she great?  Because she is hilarious and charming and beautiful and makes entertainment that I unabashedly love and seems like a good person.  And because she is the best.  Bestness and greatness go hand in hand.  One day I will have her babies, you’ll see.  Today I want to fuck Kristen Bell.

I am making my way through as many of the major Oscars nominees as I can before the Oscars get here.  I have, to this point, seen 6 of 9 Best Picture Nominees but I don’t think it’ll go much beyond that.  I have largely been disappointed in them, not that they are bad, they just overall have not struck me as great movies, or even much better than above average movies.  Of what I have seen Her is one of the two that I would rate highly (the other being Nebraska, which is my favorite.   Well, and Matthew McConaughey was pretty awesome in Dallas Buyers Club but really none of this is why you are here).   Which, since I just saw Her is why Scarlett Johansson is here today.  There is something slightly perverse and thought provoking about casting a known sex symbol to just be the voice of a love interest, a love interest with no body.  I found the movie to be beautiful, both visually, but also in it’s exploration of human emotion.  After watching it I found myself torn on if it was a movie about love or a movie about loneliness.  My friend said he thought it was a movie about heartbreak and without thinking I said, “I said it was a movie about love”.  I knew how that sounded the second it left my mouth and basically what I am saying is that’s why you shouldn’t really listen to my opinion about any of this at all.  Still, the movie was beautiful and movie and Scarlett was pretty amazing actually, her work really was movie, which is always hard in vocal work but she did such a good job (and the movie as a whole did) of making an artificial intelligence believable as a person and making it believable someone could fall in love with her.  That second part definitely was, she was at her most charming and it takes a lot of charisma to create attraction just through a voice.  She did it though.  It has probably just contributed further to the decade plus long crush I have had on her (Oh god, Ghost World was 2001 guys, 13 years I have crushed on her.  i am old, she still looks 23).   Anyway, she is great, she is among the most beautiful women I have ever seen and today I want to fuck Scarlett Johansson.

I finally am watching True Detective, which since it isn’t over yet is pretty early for me.  I had no resistance to watching it, just I only have so much time in a day it hadn’t made it to my screen yet.  It is pretty undeniably great I think.  I am enjoying it a lot.  Of course, when I started I knew there’d be a good chance I’d end up posting Alexandra Daddario again because I don’t live in a hole in the ground, I was well aware half the world became aware of her/fell in love with her/fell in love with just her naked body when she showed up on the show.  This is one of those situations where I feel ahead of the curve and completely out of it at the same time because I posted her a long time ago but when I went to post her she was just some girl who popped up in a few horror movies I’d seen and finally I was like, “I have to post the girl with the pretty eyes”.  And I did.  But the whole kind of oblivious thing is I noticed her breasts appeared kind of large I guess but it didn’t register and second by the time I was watching Bereavement she had already been in Percy Jackson which is probably a much, much bigger deal.  Or maybe not, I don’t know, I haven’t seen it, I don’t know if it was successful or not.  What I am saying is like, I caught on earlier than others but I was still completely oblivious.  So I would feel clever or cool or something except I was kind of a dope.  Anyway, she is gorgeous and that’s enough for right now because today I want to fuck Alexandra Daddario.

I was rewatching Star Wars because… I realized I actually have not sat down and watched Star Wars in years and years.  And by Star Wars I mean New Hope and then Empire and then Jedi.  When I was a kid I used to watch them so often it was ridiculous but you know… something happened to cool my passion.  We’ll not mention those though, I am sure there are people with fond memories of such things.  Anyway, watching it got me thinking about Carrie Fisher because… I mean do I have to explain it?  She’s in the movies. Little role called Princess Leia.  You may have noticed all of these pictures are of her as Leia.  Leia who is all kinds of cool because she was the fairy tale damsel in distress of course but she was also a badass who would grab a gun and shoot and managed to not flinch when staring down Space Nazis.  So that’s pretty cool.  But Carrie Fisher is like 10 kinds of cool as well in part because she was no Princess Leia.  It turns out that the late 70’s were a bad time to become hyper famous and starting hanging out in apartments made of actual cocaine with Saturday Night Live cast members if you were an undiagnosed bipolar.  But you know, things may have gotten derailed somewhere along the way but she faced down her demons and lived to tell the tale.  That’s pretty fucking badass, too, especially when you realized no magical old men, Wookies, or twin brothers were going to show up to bail her out of this one.  The result is now she is pretty hilarious and interesting to listen to and to read.  She is funny, she is interesting, she is pretty cool.  And man, in the early 1980’s when I walked into a movie theater with my dad?  I thought she was maybe the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.  So today I want to fuck Carrie Fisher.

It still feels like a bit of a system shock that Keri Russell is now firmly entrenched in “mom” roles.  Or maybe that she fits them, she looks like a mom, she has the age, she has that sense of authority.  It is just scary because it feels like Felicity was not that long ago.  But then i remember it was 15 years ago now and I feel old.  Either way she is wonderful on the Americans which must start soon but now I can’t remember when.  Either way that’s fine because none of that is why she’s here.  She’s here because I had a dream about Keri Russell and how she was too smart for my clever tricks.  It is already fading but for some reason I was trying to convince her we would both be more comfortable if she got naked but she wasn’t buying my bullshit.  Anyway, she is gorgeous and on a show I love and mainly I felt like my brain was trying to tell me something so I won’t fight it, today I want to fuck Keri Russell.

I saw the The Wolf of Wall Street and… well it might seem like an odd complaint for a movie about excess but it all seemed a bit excessive.  Other then a few performances I am not sure I understand what others are seeing in it.  That said, I did have one reaction I noticed a lot of people are having.  I was watching and I literally sat up straighter and thought, “Wow…. who is that girl?"  That girl is Margot Robbie.  Apparently she was at least slightly well known in Australia where she started out but she seems to be news to most of the rest of the world.  I saw a few episodes of Pan Am but if she was in the ones I saw I didn’t notice.  I noticed her in this where she was supposed to be strikingly beautiful and… she totally pulled it off.  She is strikingly beautiful.  I don’t know a lot more about her than that.  Sometimes it’s enough.  Today I want to fuck Margot Robbie.

Last night before bed I was ready to post someone for today but it was still like an hour before midnight and I was tired so I said, “Eh, whatever, I can post her in the morning”.  My subconscious had other ideas as I had a dream about going on a date with Alexandra Daddario. To my dream credit it went pretty well at the beginning.  Then Chris Hardwick showed up and ruined things.  He was trying to help me out but he just wasn’t taking a hint that he was not helping.  And… why am I going on and on about some boring ass dream?  You don’t care.  I don’t blame you.  The point here is that Alexandra Daddario is here because she has burrowed into my mind somehow.  Also in the dream I was just taken with her eyes, which makes sense because when I first noticed her that is what I noticed.  Her eyes.  Of course, since then I and everyone else has noticed her body.  But her eyes are still so stunning.  And she is just pretty and so today I want to fuck Alexandra Daddario.

I knew it was inevitable I would post Anna Kendrick at some point this week.  And not just for the usual reasons (that she is pretty, she is funny, she is talented, she is amazing) but also because fashion week is going on which means there are new pictures of Anna Kendrick once every 2 hours.  Thus the post above with her wearing a million different things over a 3 day period.  I just knew eventually one day I would be sitting here and Anna Kendrick would be all I could think about.  So that day is today.  She is so pretty and just so awesome.  And so today I want to fuck Anna Kendrick.
