The Bed List/The Dinner List

Why are we always drooling over movie stars? (Duh, mimi, movies are a visual medium...). No matter. To my knowledge, today's choices have been together in only one film, but it's worth it. Put Gods and Monsters on your Netflix queue immediately. It's no popcorn flick, but it's amazing. The selections:

BED LIST: BRENDAN FRASER



Forget universal health coverage; Brendan Fraser is the reason one might seriously consider moving to the Great White North. He got our notice as pure Hollywood beefcake (Encino Man, George of the Jungle--hey, don't knock it; Mr. Man looks ummph!! with his shirt off!), kept our attention with comedies like Blast from the Past and popcorn flicks like The Mummy, and earned our respect with Gods and Monsters. He's a good guy with a great face. And bod. O, Canada!!

DINNER LIST: SIR IAN MeKELLEN



Sir Ian is a brave, outspoken advocate of gay rights. That might be off-putting to some, but I admire him for it. He's a thoughtful, intelligent actor who knows how to pick a franchise, too (Magneto in X-Men? Gandalf the Grey? Hello??). Something tells me conversation with Sir Ian would last well into breakfast.
