Get
him while he's hot....
Yeah, yeah
we know: Colin Farrell is Hollywood's flavor-of-the-month. To
which we say: "Good! We'd love to lick him from head to
toe." But being experienced old sluts (Ooops, we mean,
"women of the world"), we do know enough to realize
that we better get our Colin Farrell fantasies up and running
before he self-destructs and goes the way of Russell Crowe or,
worse, that grand daddy of studs-turned-duds: Marlon Brando.
You
see, we've been hearing all sorts of rumors about this talented
Irish actor: tales of excessive drinking (gee, you think?); hiring
a personal assistant just to book and keep track of his dates
(I'll take Tuesdays!); the usual whispers that arise when one
is discovered by Kevin Spacey, directed by Joel Schumacher and
stars with Tom Cruise (gee, you think?); and... well, who cares
anyway? On the plus side: he stays up all night and is getting
a divorce after a marriage that lasted for an even shorter period
of time than some Tarts who shall remain nameless.
Final
impression: excellent fantasy material. Best of all, he's like
a Ken doll crossed with G.I. Joe. He comes with a whole set of
cool outfits - a cowboy get-up complete with floor length duster;
multiple military uniforms, ranging from sweaty grunt to earnest
lieutenant; impeccable three-piece suits; rough-hewn linen shirts
and tattered trousers; and, of course, the naked option for those
of who like to get right down to it. Check him out in all sorts of
movies to see for yourself (the list appears below). We especially
recommend "Tigerland" for lots of sweaty, muddy, sexy
shots, or "American Outlaws," where he plays Jesse
James and proves he can ride hard, be put away wet and still
look good in the morning.
Hint
for all you immature thrill seekers: if you rent "Tigerland",
heads up on the scene where he and a buddy have sex with a woman
they pick up while on leave. Right after the woman exits, freeze
the shot and advance clip by clip as Colin stands up and walks
across the room. His true qualifications will be abundantly clear.
We rest our case.
