7. Really?

I find that strange.

Okay, I really like Kate Beckinsale, and Cameron Diaz, but I don't keep any sort of ranking.

I am also having a tough time finding movies with really attractive leads.

I mean, okay, I got this new version of "Total Recall" because it has Kate in it. It also has Jessica Biel in it. Do I keep some sort of list where I'd "do" Kate over Jessica? Would I even have such a discussion with a male friend?

Okay, finding some movies past Superman, Independence Day, Galaxy Quest, V for Vendetta, The Green Mile, Matrix, Billy Jack - most of which have attractive women in them, but that's not really the major factor making them favorite movies. (do I keep a list? or a score? Trinity or the woman in the red dress? Would I want to discuss that with some guy friend after watching that movie? I can think of far more interesting discussions coming out of that movie, and would want a more interesting friend. (as long as I am imagining that I have friends, or some choice about friends)).

So I found SOME movies. "Undercover Brother" with Denise Richards and Aunjanue (I think that is her name, but what kind of name is Aunjanue?) Shallow Hal with Gwyneth Paltrow and Susan Ward. "Spies like Us" with Donna Dixon and the Russian girl. Am I supposed to rank these attractive women? To do so would be 'normal'?

I find that strange, rather than normal. What kind of person makes some imaginary contest between Richards, Paltrow and Dixon (circa 1983)? (It boggles my mind to find out now that she has been married now to Dan Aykroyd for 32 years!!! (am I supposed to debate whether that was a step up from Carrie Fisher? (who Aykroyd also dated) would a woman debate the question of Aykroyd vs. Paul Simon? (Fisher's two boyfriends))

I find lots of celebrities attractive, but that doesn't mean I rank them or make an imaginary bracket of March madness in a celebrity bop-off. I think that would be odd, even for me.
