Brandon Routh

Maybe it's me, but I think Kate looks more "butch" than Brandon does!

He looked pale and "artificial"? But isn't pale his... natural skin tone? And Kate Bosworth's as well? In my opinion, Kate's "tan" looks really stupid and fake. But whatever, pretty boy.

it is understandable that he wanted to look like a tanned, Adonis of a superhero and not a pale-skinned wimp

I'm not even touching that one.

I can't get over how much of a diva he is when the only film he's been in has pretty much bombed in the states. He does look like a plastic doll, so maybe he was right to make a fuss. Still won't give him or bosworthless a personality though.

[laconicchick]

Yeah, my sister thought he was entirely animated in the movie. She said "his face looked so fake!" She didn't really believe me when I said he's an actual person.

Call me crazy, but I think throwing a diva bitchfit over your makeup makes you appear far more "wimpy" than being pale does.

Maybe he should've asked God to strike down Clinique.

I know it's subjective and everything, but I don't think he's very good-looking at all, and he doesn't match my image of Superman, but YMMV.

A quote from this week's People mag, answering the question of recommended great summer reads:

"I don't know if most people will want to read something this heavy, but I really recommend Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It will take you all summer to read but you just might learn something, be inspired and have your opinions changed."

Aw jeez, this quote annoyed me to no end, to the point where I scribbled it down in the store where I was reading the magazine, so I could post it here (I have no life). Perhaps it's because I've come across way too many pseudo-intellectual college students who think that they just need to start talking about how great Rand and Orwell are in order to sound S-M-R-T. Something about Routh's quote sounds just so smug and patronizing. It fairly drips with pretension and condescension.

But I fully admit that I am biased because I think that Ayn Rand's writing blows.

Oh god, Atlas Shrugged made me want to poke my eyes out with a spork. I weep for all the trees that have given their lives for that steaming pile.
