ManWithPez

I'm uncertain, but it appears he's concentrating on using his heat vision.

Surely you saw this coming.  Hot Nerd Crush on Monday was Mary Steenburgen, Tuesday’s movie review was Time After Time…so who else was the Hot Nerd Mancrush going to be?  None other than Malcolm McDowell, that’s right.  Suffice it to say that I’m not altogether certain that time has been all that kind to Mr. McDowell.  Doesn’t stop me from appreciating what a great actor he was back in the day.  He’s still pretty, of course, but it’s more of a regal, older man thing.

Hmmm...sinister janitor. This'll end well.

I was disheartened when I started research for this Top Ten, to find that between us, ThatCostumeGirl and I weren’t the first ones to come up with the idea. (Also, between us, neither of us can remember whose idea it was, so I’m keeping things on the level…for now.)  There’s a few lists out there about this very thing.  Having reviewed those lists, I can safely say that while there is some overlap, I don’t think I’m stepping on anyone’s toes.  So, without further need for anyone to get out that strange smelling sawdust that janitors put on puke, here’s the ten most kickass custodial engineers in fiction.

I know what he looks like. He's still a badass!

The premise is simple (mostly).  HG Wells builds a working time machine.  Unknown to him, one of his dinner buddies is actually Jack the Ripper, who steals his machine.  Unfortunately for Jack, the machine has an automatic return function (NEAT!), and so, HG Wells tracks down Jack the Ripper in modern times in order to bring him to justice.  How’s that sound to you?  Cause it sounds absolutely awesome to me!  And it has ever since I was taken as a small child to see Time After Time.

Hey...that's some good acting ability right there!

MMMMMmmmmm…ary Steenburgen.  That’s right!  Looks like in time travel month, the MILFs are holding their own!  Mary Steenburgen gets a double bill, however, for starring in my personal favorite time travel film…but, she was also in Back to the Future III.  If that’s not enough, she looks like she actually time travels.  How else can you explain her looking that damn good and being 56 years old? (more…)

It annoyed me to even find this goddamn photo!

Man…is it Friday again?  I do love writing these.  Just as soon as someone pays me to do so…I’ll write them every damn day!  (HINT, HINT…MuthaF’n HINT!)  Then again, perhaps I’ll end up in Hell for teaching others to annoy their fellow human beings.  That’s okay.  I’ll just take the time to annoy Satan himself.  How hard could it be? (more…)

Joss prepares the move with which he will DOMINATE Chuck Norris!

Okay, it’s fanservice of the Nth degree here, but, damn it, I’m a huge fan of Joss Whedon.  I’m a fan of Chuck’s too, as I’ve pointed out before, but, Chuck Norris is brawn(x)brawn, and the nerds out there who have created this image for him (ready made for the frat boys out there, yeah?) need an actual representation of ourselves to take on Chuck.  With that in mind, here’s a list about Joss Whedon taking on The Beard…Sorry…Chuck Norris. (more…)

Now, that's a damn beautiful man right there!

Before I begin, yes I questioned the wisdom of putting up a mancrush who had passed on.  The truth is that most of the people I find attractive have been dead for some time.  Wait, that didn’t sound right.  Anyways, at one time, I felt that Christopher Reeve was just a one trick pony who only had a supercard up his sleeve.  I was very happy to have been proven wrong on that account.  So, let’s take a look at Mr. Reeve, shall we? (more…)

Governor! Please! She isn't even real!

In the course of most science fiction movies, the hero gets a little help from some friends.  Strictly speaking, since we are talking about science fiction, these people don’t always have to be actual, real people.  What?  You never got any help from an imaginary buddy?  Here’s a few of my favorite assistants from science fiction who might not have actually been real, but whose help was invaluable throughout film and television. (more…)

I was just looking for a picture, damn it! Now I have to go watch it again.

In the very early 80s, if I wanted to watch cable I had to go to my Grandparent’s house in the next county.  From my childhood, I remembered a scene from a movie where Superman and some hot lady were traversing a staircase to rush into each other’s arms.  My much younger self only thought…”BLECH!”.  Now that I’m (a lot) older, it’s the scene that I wait for in Somewhere In Time, the chick flick that all the men secretly like!  I usually try to avoid spoilers, but I’m afraid there are some here, so be warned. (more…)

Hmm...the shoes still look fake.

It’s a bit confusing, the effects are a little dated, and the ending is just a bit of a contrived device, but Back to the Future II still ends up being one of my favorite time travel movies, simply because of the scope and breadth of the story.  Like I’ve said before, a little charm goes a long way.  And all the actors have their charm turned way up here, including Michael J. Fox, Michael J. Fox, and Michael J. Fox! (more…)
