Guy Pearce
Name: Guy Pearce
Nickname: Felicia
Why He’s a Boyfriend:
Guy has been a boyfriend since I saw in The Adventures of Priscilla,
Queen of the Desert. He’s just so darn cute. And, the
boy can act, too! Whether he's a flamboyant, bitchy drag queen or
a by-the-book cop, he fills each role perfectly. His adorable Australian
accent doesn’t hurt, either. He only solidified his place
in the pantheon of boyfriendom in one of my very favorite movies,
LA Confidential. That would be the aforementioned by-the-book
cop role, co-starring opposite currently-too-portly-and-fixated-on-marriage-to-write-up
boyfriend Russell Crowe.
Best Feature: His toothy
smile. He was perfectly buff in Priscilla, but has become
scary thin since then (especially in Rules of Engagement.
Too. Freakin'. Skinny. *shudder*) So, his really super duper best
feature is the body he had 9 years ago in that movie. The Corral
is not subject to rules of the space/time continuum.
Things You Must See Him In:
Priscilla and LA Confidential (surprise). Memento
shows off his acting chops, as well has his bod’.
Piece of Work You Must Run Screaming
From: When I wrote up Neal (mmm…Neal) I hadn’t
seen Ravenous. Now I have. I was desperate for boyfriend
material. Do you understand me? Des.per.ate. Neal has not been in
enough movies!! But I digress. So, it was just as assy as I suspected.
And Guy is dirty and weird throughout. Boyfriend Rule #429: Must
not make movies in which you look genuinely filthy at all times.
Blech.
And Time Machine looks all kinds of stupid, too.
What Made Me First Love Him: How adorable
he looked strutting around as Felicia Jollygoodfellow. He may be
the only Corral member who looks completely nummy in ostrich feathers
and "Cherries in the Snow" lipstick. Okay, well Ewan McGregor
pulls off eyeliner soooo well, but that’s another write-up
altogether.
What Makes Us Perfect for Each
Other: Hmm. I don’t really know all that much about
Guy. We’ll just have to go with “Because he’s
cute”.
Why We Probably Wouldn’t
Work Out: I’d crush his skinny butt like a twig.
And, if he came along right now, I’d have to cheat on him
with Neal.
