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 kind of selectively does it for me. I didn't think he was attractive at all in The Pianist, even before he was starving and unshaven. But I really liked him in AotN (you should still watch that movie even if he doesn't do it for you! It's good), and I am really attached to him as the idea of Spike.

Well, then I hope you get him - someone deserves some happiness in this area. ::still crying over Keanu Reeves as John Constantine::
