Thursday Hunk Throwdown

The YA world is a-buzzing.  Hollywood has taken two beloved series and turned the first book into a movie for the big screen.  It's true.  I have no idea how the good readers of YA feel about this move, but I know that there are some pretty faces in these movies.  Let's take some time to admire, shall we?


The Panel:

1.  Alden Ehrenreich plays Ethan in Beautiful Creatures.  I am not sure about him yet.  Can he do it?  Is it the right pick?  I think he is pretty though.  When I look at him, I keep thinking he should be British.  But he isn't.  Which is disappointing.  I can't really blame him though.  It's not his fault.  

2.  Aidan Turner plays Luke in Mortal Instruments.  I told you this man would pop up again.  He had to.  So secretly, I think he may be one of the most gorgeous men on earth.  It's possible.  Anywho, I am so glad that this man decided to grace the movie with his presence.  Plus he looks like he can pull of the whole werewolf thing.  Right?   

3.  Jonathan Rhys Meyers plays Valentine in Mortal Instruments.  I have never seen Mr. Meyers play the bad boy.  I am sure he is very capable though.  I wonder if he will use his accent in this movie.  I love his accent.  It's so... so... Mmmmm.

So that's the men for today.  Pretty, no?

Thursday Hunk Throwdown

The world has become a much more beautiful place.  Well secretly I believe it will retain some sense of beauty as long as Peter Jackson is still alive.  You see Peter Jackson is one of my biggest heros.  He created the movies that would define a phase of my life.  Peter Jackson created the movie depictions of Lord of the Rings.  For me, it gave him an instant quota of mega-awesome points that would last until eternity ends.  BUT NO!!!  He went and did something else equally awesome.  He is recreating my precious Hobbit onto the big screen.  The world may not be as thrilled as I, but alas I am used to this.  They can't take away my happiness over this....

Anywho, I shall now introduce my panel for this lovely Thursday.  


1.  Here we have Lee Pace who plays Thranduil.  I found a picture to show what he looks like without the whole costume for the movie for you see he is too pretty to be covered up.  I mean look at that scruffy face with the wrinkles in between his brows.  Am I the only one that finds that incredibly attractive?

2.  Oh.  My.  Gosh.  This gorgeous man is Aidan Turner, whom will most likely be popping back up on another Thursday because he is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.  I left him in his costume because for me it works VERY well for him.  Very, very well.  The best part of his character in the movie is how fun he was.  He was always getting into something.  And ladies, he has quite a skill at using the bow.  He can shoot me with his arrows anytime.  

3.  Elijah Wood.  Now I will be honest.  It was hard to find a decent picture of Elijah Wood without going with Frodo.  The thing was, I was in love with Frodo in high school.  But Frodo pictures just look so young that it gets creepy.  Even that picture seems really young.  Anyways, Mr. Wood is on here due to my affinity for Frodo Baggins.  

Did any of you love The Hobbit as much as I??
