random man's upper body without clothing. Blatant objectification of human body ahead.

girlwithjournal expressed some doubt of the idea that Adrien Brody could play the part of Spike Spiegel of Cowboy Bebop, on account of Mr. Brody being "too delicate."

This is what I say to that:



Mmmmmmm. I had to cap those from a rather poor quality Quicktime trailer for the movie Affair of the Necklace, where there is much sexyness in late-18th-century period clothing, since I don't own the movie. Then again, I haven't installed my DVD-rom yet so it's not like I could make good caps even if I did own the movie, but here ya go.

These pics aren't as good as the bathtub scene, though, where he stands up all wet, and you wonder how someone with that nice pecs has the most narrowly toned waist you've ever seen on a guy. It's a fascinating combination.

Why should he be Spike Spiegel? Because he's tall, lanky, has a face that actually kinda looks like the character's (rare with anime), has the right skin/hair coloring for it, and he's a great actor with an statue to prove it.

He is. Oh, he is. Have you seen Affair of the Necklace? I saw that (well, the latter 2/3 of it anyway) before I saw The Pianist, so this is my mental impression of him, rather than that of the starving shivering war victim. And I like this version better.

Not only does he look like him, both facially and in his tall and lanky body shape, but he's an oscar-winning actor too! He's the one I want. My opinions on all the others could be swayed, but in this I am firm. There's no one better.
