A sensualist's golden moment

I was at the health club, riding the cardio cross-trainer (I've nicknamed it the sadiomaster), but I'm having a fine time because I'm reading "Insatiable" by Gael Green, the escapades of an unabashed sensualist food critic who had lots and lots of fun in the 1970's, eating and screwing her way around New York City. And while I was reading and riding (the sadiomaster, remember!) I was listening to Billie Holiday.

 

I finished a chapter and looked up at a TV, and there was Andy Garcia on screen. What a fine man he is. Could I take much more? Of course, because then the scene switched to George Clooney. ("Ocean's 11" was on TV.) In a brief aside, I think Andy and George make Brad Pitt look plain, but I'm a sucker for dark-haired men.

 

Could I take much more? Yeah, the guy at the club that I mentally refer to as "Scenery" (I don't know his name) was walking around the track, cooling down from his weight training. He has dark hair too, plus he's classically handsome and he doesn't realize it. I think that men who aren't especially handsome, but act like they are, are really appealing, as are handsome men who don't understand just how good looking they are.

 

But after that flurry of man-watching, I was content to return to reading Gael and listening to Billie. It certainly did make the sadiomaster session much more worthwhile.

I don't know what the deal is with Brad Pitt -- he's too jawey. There, I made up a word to describe him. Something about his giant square head is disconcerting.

 

I loved Andy Garcia in Ocean's 11. He was a great seething villain. But what does he yell in the control room after he's been robbed? It's like, "and get me those ARGHBLARGHS!!" I've seen that part 20 times and I still don't know what in tarnation he's hollerin' fer.

Tee! His jawey, giant square head! I think his look (and his acting) lacks nuance and depth.

 

And I know what you're saying about that scene in Ocean's 11, and I have to wonder if he didn't pick that up from Al Pacino when they did "The Godfather, Part III" together. Pacino is damn fond of just generally bellering like a madman in his movies, and maybe Garcia decided, oh hell, "Ocean's 11" isn't "MacBeth," I think I'll do an Al imitation!

I've been wracking my brain trying to remember what the "arghblarghs" are.. and am coming up with nil. But I do have a great, fuming, sexy MentalAndy stomping around in my head now, arms akimbo, hair all slicked back-yet-becoming-disheveled, going: "ARGHBLARGH! ARGHBLARGH!" :lol:

 

The first time I became aware of Mr. Pitt was when he was in cohoots with La Paltrow... and they sort of looked like twins. So I see him as a sort of jawey-yet-femme emo boi wanely mugging for the paparazzi.

 

I like 'em tall dark and handsome, m'self. (Though at 5'2"-and-change, just about anyone is "tall" in my book.)

Somewhere you had posted a comment about your inner Wookie, "raughaughaugh!" and that was MentalAndy's interpretation. :D

 

My MentalAndy tells me I need cookies.

Last night on TV, (ABC, I think), there was some awards show for people in the Latino entertainment industry. It was getting over and I was just waiting for the late news, so I saw the end, where they ran brief clips of people accepting awards. Andy Garcia! Then Jimmy Smits! Gracious.
