Good point.
Although, it would still have to be a more local paper than the WaPo, with more focus on local news, because he can only save people in one city.
For the record, I'm not of those who say, "After 30, she's done! She hit the wall, man!" Simply because I've come across a lot of attractive middle-aged women. And probably so do the "wall" guys, who may very well go and jerk off to milf porn after they say it. So it's just not true.
However, there's a difference between 38 and 55. I'd say some 99% of the females retire as sexual beings between the ages of 50 and 55, depending on the woman in question. The 1% are like the Sophia Lorens and the like who can still push it to 60. And Nancy Travis isn't one of those. She's like the 99% who bitches about Wall Street and pitches tents with those bums in Zuccotti park.
And it's just not very realistic for a desirable man to still be very interested in her in that way. That's my whole point.
"I doubt teenage girls want to screw the Real Sean Connery..."
Yes, they do! They very much do! You seem to have no idea what the females are really attracted to. It's not youth. It's mostly about power, status, wealth. They're attracted to men they fear, need, and/or admire. And Sean Connery very much fits the bill for most young women.
Well, I guess not so. Hey I didn't make the rules. I mean, you listen to those teenage girls talk and they still want to screw Sean Connery. Hell Charles Manson had a pile of fangirling groupies who were mostly in their 20s. But then you switch sexes and you don't exactly see dudes lining up to have piece of that Diane Keaton! Again, I didn't make the rules. Money and social prominence are sexy in men, and well-to-do patriarch Mike Baxter has both.
Doesn't really matter. My point is that she's old, as in beyond shagging years. And thus better suited for herbal tea.
Tim Allen, well, he's a man. And also it's Tim Allen - the guy's sturdier than average men his age. He's like the Sophia Loren of men in terms of old-people physical hotness (no homo).
'Murica. And I only wear shoes at home occasionally. Definitely not 80%+ of the time the people on this show do it. That's even more true of the females.
Yeah, I haven't seen those. I only saw him in this one, in Pretty Woman, and the one with Susan Sarandon. So to me he's always been a dad, albeit a romantic one at that.
I guess he's kind of like Nicolas Cage that way, whom I always knew as that Weatherman guy or the one with OCD in that Matchstick movie. Even though there was crime and some action in those films, he was still recognizably "grown-up" in demeanor and behavior, including in Con Air. So that was the Cage I knew. And then years later, I watched Valley Girl and I was like "Wtf" - 20-something little punk, completely unrecognizable. So I guess I'd understand those who grew up to know him as that juvenile bad boy would keep seeing him that way decades later.
Yeah, I guess it didn't make much sense. But then again, this was a portrayal of a woman caught by animal instinct, one who was behaving on the borders of reason and risk. See that scene of her first commute back home on that train? That's a woman whose reason had just taken a backseat to her emotions; exhilaration and despair took over the wheel.
As to Richard Gere, he always struck me as husband-material type of attractive. I'm straight, but if we're gonna call him sexy, then he's sexy "that way" first and foremost. He's the established guy who gives some lost hooker a sense of security and a warm home. He's the upper-middle-class type of handsome and sexy. So even though he wasn't an out-and-out boring stalwart, he was still perfect for the role.
Agree
