The Bed List/The Dinner List

I haven't had any of these picks for a while, not because I'm not interested in men (who could lose interest in men?), but because the schedule was so packed, I didn't have time or energy to focus on them properly. (Husbands everywhere are rolling their eyes and thinking to themselves, "So what else is new??") But I've seen the light--or, at least, great publicity photos that have defibrillated the man engine. For your consideration:

BED LIST: RUFUS SEWELL



Okay, we're most familiar with him as Count Adhemar in A Knight's Tale, but Rufus Sewell is one of those men who shows up in a movie as the supporting male or the bad guy but ends up stealing all the attention. And there's that little thing about the soulful brown eyes and the dark curly hair. Rawr.

DINNER LIST: SAMUEL L. JACKSON



Four words: Snakes on a Plane. According to rumor, Samuel L. Jackson took the lead role from reading the title. How could he not? That movie will either be really good or so bad it's good, like The Rocky Horror Picture Show (from what I hear, SoaP devotees in the blogosphere are already designing the lines to yell back at the screen at crucial moments). Gotta love a guy with a sense of humor. Plus, he's got amazing range. And a purple lightsaber by special request. And a great [expletive] command of the [expletive] English language.
