I’m pretty sure that all the french men appear in films together, which makes it even more amazing! Plus, when they’re on dvd, you can watch them over and over again, sipping your gin and tonic whilst in your silk dressing gown.

“I for one am petrified of the bear-wolf, because it seems like such an apt name for a horrible band. I mean, how many more bear-wolf band names can we possibly be expected to endure? Enough is enough! Grizzly Bear sucks. Minus The Bear sucks. Panda Bear sucks. Bear vs. Shark sucks. AIDS Wolf might be the stupidest band name ever. Wolfmother sucks. Wolf Parade sucks. Sea Wolf sucks. Guitar Wolf sucks. Now we’re gonna get this stupid Bear-Wolf band and they’re going to suck harder than all those other nonsense acts combined.”
It’s funny that this guy most likely doesn’t know the implications of what he is saying when he uses the words ’suck’ ‘grizzly’ and ‘bear’ in the one sentence. Oh, and he’s talking about this.
James McAvoy is amazing. Such a fantastic actor, and he’s damn fine too.
Such an adorable creature, he is.
Beautiful eyes…
- James McAvoy in Becoming Jane.
I am yet to see a few of the films he is in.
Whenever I watch Becoming Jane I have to stop half way through, because the ending upsets me.
I do admire Jane Austen because of her independence, but at the same time I’m wishing, like her characters, she too had a happy ending with Tom Lefroy.
- Playing Robbie Turner in Atonement.
Such a beautiful film, but quite upsetting. I recommend you see it.
The way they made the film was quite clever, I think.
- James McAvoy in Wanted.
Okay, pretty sure all he does in this film is shoot guns (I haven’t yet seen the film, but I plan to). Well from all the movie stills, and the trailer I gather that’s all he actually does.
But come on, the gun just adds to his sex appeal, right? Well I think so anyway.
And! I’m pretty sure you get to see him shirtless, and he bulked up a little bit for the film. Which means, he’s got a little bit of muscle!
Episode 4, Series 2 of Shameless.
I have only seen little bits of this television show on youtube and what not.
But Louise said I could borrow the first two Series of it from her.
I’m hoping she’ll bring it over tomorrow night.
James McAvoy with his wife Anne-Marie Duff, on the red carpet.
Naw. Such an adorable couple… yet I can’t help feeling jealous.
HAIR!
Attractive, is he not? Mmm. Well, I hope I’ve convinced you all of how wonderful he is.
Love the hair in that photo.
I’d show you a picture of him playing Mr. Tumnus… But I’m guessing that’d put you right off him.

Maybe, it’s just me, but doesn’t this seem a little raunchy for a music video?
I still like it though… The video that is… I like New Order but ironically I like old New Order better than new New Order.
New Order – Krafty
Right, I’ve just invented a new type of post. It’s called a Morgasm – a musical orgasm, in other words. You know when you hear a song, and it’s just so goddamn good, so so so so good, and you have to share it. And listen to it repetitively. And talk about it all the time? Yeah, that’s a Morgasm.
Mmmm. Kooks.
Anyway, onto the post. I found this while I was looking for stuff from The Kooks second album, Konk, which I’m too cheap to go out and buy and too lazy to download. And I was all, “Oooh, Coldplay+Kooks=YAY?”
And yeah, my maths was right. Coldplay + Kooks = YAY times 1000000. Totally.
I know I’ve said this before, like, a million times, but My Darling YOU! are one of my most favourite bands. Ever. They’re these two Swedish guys who make the most amazing, catchy two minute-ish pop songs that you’ve ever heard. And don’t let the word pop discourage you. I’m just using it here, because their music is so bloody catchy. They’re more in the ‘ohmygod amazing indie-ish Swedes’ genre, y’know?
Here’s Please Don’t Talk To Me I Fall In Love So Easily live. The video is shit, but the audio is amazing.
And here are some of my favourite songs. Take them, listen to them, and love them.
Taxidriver – My Darling YOU!
Bad Times Are On – My Darling YOU!
Please Don’t Talk To Me I Fall In Love So Easily – My Darling YOU!
I don’t know what it is about them, they’re just so mightily desirable. I think its probably the way they speak and their winning smiles..

By the way, is it OK to objectify black men? Am I being racist if i objectify a black man? Am I being racist calling them ‘black’ rather than ‘coloured’ or ‘Negro’ or ‘of African decendency’ or that word, that-if-you-say-it-around-a-black-person-you-should-most-definitely-get-shot? Am I being racist not including a Caucasian, Asian or otherwise? Am I being sexist and racist not including a black woman? Am I paranoid? Like hell I am.
I think we might have gone off the topic of attractive men, but.. aww!
Is it just me or does he look a tad like Clyde?

Is anyone actually going to draw a picture of a human partaking in oral sex with a bear or do I have to start the trend?
Their feathers stuck out from their purple/green skin and their toe nails had grown over, shaping themselves into claws. I never really understood what the mutation consisted of exactly. Only that by the end of the transformation, they became mutated, with no normal physical appearance of a human life form. Their bodies were still recognisable as being human, but the rest of their physical appearances were anything but normal. And everything odd and queer had taken hold of them. The disease was constantly stressing at their ligaments and flesh, turning them into something out of the ordinary.
They lived in tree houses. Isolated from the normal world which they were born into. Living instead in a world that had no structured society. No rules. No laws. They were able to do as they pleased in those tree houses. All day long they spent preening themselves and reading books. Each day they altered slightly in appearance. Each day more feathers sprouted forth from their skin. Each weekend they would fly to the coast to play beach volly ball.
