Yeah, Ryan Gosling seems to have made a splash this year with Drive and The Ides of March, both of which I want to see but probably won't. I thought he was great in the largely slept on Lars and the Real Girl, as was the rest of the cast.
Who the hell is that?

The whole shell-bone pelvic area coming out of the jeans is blech! - on men or women
Johnny Depp looks like he stinks. A lot of girls I'm friends with are sweet on that dude, but I think that's some fire burning from his 21 Jump Street days on up to his early work with Tim Burton / misunderstood character steez.
My James Franco crush dissipated rather quickly since last year's edition of this thread. He's dropped off in terms of relevancy, and he was a wreck at the Academy Awards. But, in honor of Movember (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movember), I will include a photo of a mustachioed Franco. I thought he was the hottest, most precious thing ever in the film "Milk" and that 'stache just about killed me. Up until then, I thought mustaches were some creepy old guy steez. But he rocked his with style and soul.
And then the whole world rushed to capture and jar the sexiness of the Franco 'stache. The hipsters caught on and began marring historic pop art images with handlebar mustaches. Teenage girls drew mustaches on the fingers, held them over their upper lips and took photos. Art, they called it. Indie blogs featured product photos of owls with 'staches and cupcakes with 'staches and babies with 'staches. Mustaches everywhere. They exploited Franco's beauty to sell a few graph paper tablets with mustaches on them at Urban Outfitters. What a travesty. Now he's not even that hot anymore.

A few years ago my friend came up with a great term - beautiful monster.
Unbeknownst to each other, we were both admiring the same 6'5"+, pocked-marked, always frowning guy until we saw him together and swooned. That's what she called him, it was perfect.
I kinda think this guy fits the bill....but I put him more on the beautiful side than the monster.
(I have another friend who came up "hot crackhead"...but this is reserved mostly for cute guys whose social circle is mad suspect and fail to do something about their unkept hair and dirty hands/nails)

I think there's actually an existing term for this, though I'm blanking on it right now. It is, of course, something French. "Pretty-ugly," maybe? (Or whatever that would be en Francais.)
But yeah, I read it back in the 90s in some article discussing the appeal of, like, Serge Gainsbourg and Sandra Bernhard and whoever.
And this is tangential, but: A little while back at some school assembly, I overheard one guy telling another, "I mean, she's not pretty pretty, but she's teacher pretty."

James, I believe it's jolie laide, which translates to pretty-ugly woman. Or a woman who is pretty, but not conventionally so. Don't know the male equivalent of the term.

I've always heard it as "belle-laide", but I guess both are common.

Call me strange, but I'm not the only one who feels this way: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/08/fashion/08CODES.html
Never understood the Depp appeal.
He does look like he stinks.
BRBKTHNXBAI.

Oof.
beau affreux: beautiful terrible
jolie-laide: pretty-ugly
somewhat apropos

I think the baby gut may be the deciding factor....moving him firmly into the Yes category.
i no longer allow the GF to answer the door
