Today’s Hump Day Hotties is brought to you by the letter A and the number 27.
Random things that the Mad Madam M and I associate with the letter A. Will you also associate these things with the letter A? Maybe not. In fact, probably not. But you come here because we’re crazy and you can comfort yourself by pointing and saying, SEE? I’m not as crazy as those two. You’re welcome.

(In the underrated film Reign of Fire – yes I meant to say underrated – Christian Bale’s character is named Quinn ‘A’bercromby.)
Mad Madam M: I watched Batman 4 times in the theatre for the plot. Really…that was my one and only reason!
Crystal: I didn’t catch it in the theatre, but I did watch it about forty times on DVD. For the plot, of course. That was a great plot.

(Love ‘A’ctually, anyone?)
Mad Madam M: No matter what, he will always be Mr. Darcy and I will always love him…regardless of how many douche-bag roles he takes.
Crystal: Remember the wet shirt scene in Pride and Prejudice? Oh, man. That was classic cinema.

(Come on…he was the reason Demi Moore had to wear a scarlet “A” in the 1995 flick. Oh and if that wasn’t enough for you…how about ‘A’zkaban?!!?!)
Mad Madam M: Don’t know how Mr. Oldman is sexy…he just is. Like a fireman or men in kilts!
Crystal: I’ll give you firemen, but men in skirts do nothing for me. Except easy access to you know what. But I’m with you…how Gary Oldman is sexy, I’ll never know. But there it is.

(Ok stay with me here. So Dule Hill was in the movie Holes with Shia LaBeouf, who turned into an ‘A’ngel at the end of Constantine. Oop…spoiler alert!)
Mad Madam M: Dule. Dule. Dule. You are just too cute for words. And you tap dance. And love Broadway. I love that in a guy! (Oh and James…you’re not too shabby either!)
Crystal: I love him in Psych. They are such cute heterosexual life partners. And West Wing! Awww.

(A is for ‘A’ngel!)
Mad Madam M: Kind of gay and kind of hot. Have to admit…the hot is kind of winning. *shhh don’t tell anyone*
Crystal: You know, I never understood the fad for this guy. He’s just okay for me. Not that I’d kick him out of bed or anything. Just doesn’t give me the undeniable urge to use his body as a jungle gym.

(In case you weren’t aware, Cary Grant’s real name was ‘A’rchie Leech.)
Mad Madam M: I don’t care how many times they name someone the new “Cary Grant”. There will never – NEVER EVER – be another Cary Grant and that’s my final word on the subject.
Crystal: Amen. Cary Grant is the classic of all things hot. There will never be another.

(I give you the cutie from ‘A’melie!)
Mad Madam M:
Dear French Dude from Amelie,
How come you don’t exist in the real world? I think we would make an awesomely quirky pair even if I don’t speak French. (However, I can translate written French, so perhaps you could just write down everything. Oh and provide me with a new French dictionary because I have no clue where mine is!) Please figure out a way to become real and then come and woo me in a most romantic fashion.
Your Prospective Amour,
Mad Madam M
Crystal: Dude, no fair! I taught you to read French damn it! I should get the cute, romantic Frenchman. And I’m quirky, too! Really.

(Not that I really need to find a reason, but his call name is ‘A’pollo!)
Mad Madam M: *guh* Jamie Bamber…towel…mirror. *brain starts to implode* It doesn’t really get better than that folks! *begins fanning myself*
Crystal: He’s cute, and hot, and all yours because I think you might actually kill me if I came between you and Jamie. It’s good to know how the dynamic of your friendship works, ya know?

(Anyone else make it through Young ‘A’dam?)
Mad Madam M: Got to love a man who has confidence in his body and often wears kilts. To be truthful, the kilt thing is just a cherry on top of the whip cream!! Oohh Ewan…whip cream…cherry. What was I saying?
Crystal: I just threw up in my mouth. Men. Skirts. Shudder.

(Played Cupid, the son of ‘A’phrodite, in Xena.)
Mad Madam M: I love Karl…I just wish he would pick better movies.
Crystal: I love how each of those words is its own link. A man has to have really bad taste in the roles he takes to make that happen. Fortunately, he is very pretty. I’d do him.

(He was one of the original ‘assets’ of Bourne trilogy, but if you want something a bit more concrete, I present King ‘A’rthur!)
Mad Madam M: Clive, how I love thee. Let me count the ways…on your magnificently chiseled body.
Crystal: Jungle gym worthy, for sure.

(Ryan ‘A’twood & ‘A’dam Brody: Together again! See what I did there? I mixed fiction with reality! LOL)
Mad Madam M: Disheveled can be sexy. And hey look – a bagel. *imitates Homer badly* Baageeellll!!! *drools*
Crystal: *giggles madly*

(Paging Dr. ‘A’dam Lockwood. Paging Dr. Lockwood!)
Mad Madam M: Even with only 1 eye…Wentworth is still a fine looking man. A fine looking man that I wouldn’t mind exploring a bit more!
Crystal: Oh, that’s right. He was the doctor dude in Underworld. I love that movie. Lots of pretty. Cool costumes and guns. Sweeeet.

(If you don’t know that this is the ‘A’ckles, I’m not sure what to do with you.)
Mad Madam M: You know me…always saving the best for last. *stares dreamily* Shut it…he is too the best!?!?!?!?
Crystal: Yes, he’s the best. Pretty, pretty.





Love Actually is my fave movie, and Colin is my object of lust.
by Shelli Stevens August 15th, 2007 at 7:50 pm ♦Awwww. Colin is a cutie patootie.
by Crystal Jordan August 15th, 2007 at 7:52 pm ♦Shelli – you’re speaking to a sister in the love of Colin. I could look at that pic for a long, long time.
Which begs the question – what douche bag roles?
AND anyone up for The Last Legion??
by Jill Monroe August 17th, 2007 at 7:39 am ♦I was mainly referring to any flick with either of the Fiennes brothers (i.e. Shakespeare in Love and The English Patient), but Valmont and Circle of Friends is also worth mentioning.
Oh and I do plan to go and see The Last Legion as soon as it opens here. So far it hasn’t, but anything that has John Hannah, Kevin McKidd and Rupert Friends – along with Colin of course – is definitely worth the $7 matinée ticket price!!
