the perfect date for men over 30 ?

[Brendan]

There's also Maid Marian in that new Robin Hood show.

[mockney piers]

OOoooooh no no no. The Michael Praed/Jason Connery Maid Marion was much better. Not to mention of a copper persuasion.

 

[Ant]

How long before this descends into newsreaders?

I give it five minutes...

[Brendan]

Thumbs up on Elaine Vassal. >:D

[Keef]

Ally McBeal was bad, and got worse and worse, even my then girlfriend couldn't stand it eventually, and she was the girlie TV stereotype!

Sean, when you say "most people" prefer the older versions of the characters, do you mean "you" prefer them? ;-) I absolutely loved Sunrise when I saw it on telly as a 19(ish) year old, and for yonks after that I was saying to people "what's that film with the guy and the girl on the train in Europe, and they spend the night walking around and chatting" only for people to look at me blankly.

When I did eventually find out the title and watch it again I have to admit that the young characters annoyed me a bit, but as I said, I was no longer so young... However, the older versions are far too cliche, and the film as a whole is too predictable... It's a sequel that everyone wanted to see (did they meet at the station the following year or not!?!?!?!?), but that really I think would have been best left to the imagination.

I sound like I hate it, I don't, but you know what I mean :-S

[Brendan]

Come on guys. It just took that whole ?90s gen X film thing and made into a chick flick.

[Brendan]

I know I sound like a misogynistic neanderthal* there but I?m not really, just being obtuse.

*Anyway from what we can make out of neaderthal?s vocal abilities they would have had very high pitched voices compared to us so I doubt I really sound like one at all.

[KalamityKel]

R boobs not the in thing with you lot then?

[Keef]

You are right of course, but sometimes I enjoy a chick flick... I never saw a single episode of Sex in the City though, which I am very proud of!

Yeah!

... 'n guns.

[KalamityKel]

God could imagine those tho!

Yes u are quite right a D cup is certainly plenty... *reflects back on those days...* ;-)

[Cassius]

Not a Desperate Housewife for any of you then?

[Ant]

Wosserface from Wosserface and Thingummy's Pop Shop isn't bad. Then again I only ever see her obscenely early in the morning so my judgement may be clouded. (That's also why I can't remember their names.)

[Brendan]

No they are all way too scary on that show. Not in the sexy, will cut you up with a ninja sword way either. More in the, will insinuate themselves into your life and leave you a crushed and broken man sort of way.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Keef - re: Sunrise/Sunset - this time "most people" really does mean most other people

I still retain massive fondness for the original. That sort of night has always been my favourite (ok the train and Vienna may not happen that often - but the whole walking/talking/andtherest in teh wee small hours...) Looking back objectively yeah they are a bit precious - but I'd rather that than the opposite

I did think the sequel enhanced the original tho' - so we differ there

[Cassius]

I'm finding this thread really interesting - obviously what I think men would find 'hot' and what men find 'hot' don't tally - I would have thought Kate from Lost, Izzy/Meredith from Greys Anatomy, maybe Lynette/Bree from Desperates, Cameron from House.

[Ant]

I don't know who any of those are.

edit:

a quick google image search later and my verdict is: meh. maybe bree for looks, ish - except weren't all the women on that show psychos?

[Keef]

Sean I still don't know who these most people are, but fair enough.

I too liked the whole idea of walking around with this (beautiful) stranger chatting and flirting.

Cassius, Mrs Keef is always convinced I'll fancy a certain lass, and is always quite taken aback when I say "she's okay, but I much prefer the other one" (who is the exact opposite). I don't believe in having a "type", I thought brunette/brown eyes was my kind of thing, and I've married a blue eyed blonde, I think we just like who we like.

Same for the ladies I guess, I mean there are the Brad Pitts and Johnny Depps who seem pretty universal in their appeal (I said pretty not totally), but then you get ladies fancying Tony Soprano, or Ray Winstone in Sexy Beast (DM I'm looking at you!!!).

[Brendan]

Yeah me neither. :-S

Cassius, I think you are thinking of ?men who watch crap telly? rather than just men in general. ;-)

[Keef]

Yeah, and as Ant says, who the hell are these women you talk of?!?

[KalamityKel]

"speak of" surely :p

[Ant]

Write of, if we're being pedantic.

Over, even more pedantic, 'of whom you write'. :P

[KalamityKel]

na man i was only finking of talking innit! :p

[Keef]

Kel, r u crectg mi grmr?
