I just tried to read this again after 20-some odd years but didn’t get very far...it unfortunately is pretty outdated. My re-read of Still Life with Woodpecker was much better, still love Tom!
Some others: Howl, from Howl's Moving Castle (book or movie) Ashitaka, from Princess Mononoke Bobby Newmark from Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive Dorian Gray from The Picture of.
T'Challa in the form of Chadwick Boseman, M'Baku in the form of Winston Duke (Black Panther), Troy Fairbanks in the form of Brandon P. Bell (Dear White People) and Wardaddy in the form of Brad Pitt (Fury).
Or Leonardo DiCaprio as Arthur Rimbaud in Total Eclipse (if I had a penis)
Johnny Depp as Don Juan de Marco was also pretty hot
Right now, there's no actor who really does it for me. Leo has turned into a complete weirdo and lost both his looks and his talent. And don't get me started on the state of Johnny ...*sigh*.
I also used to fancy French actor Mathieu Amalric about a decade ago. Watched 'A Quantom of Solace' only because of him (it's the only Bond movie I've ever seen).
And I just remembered I had a crush on James McAvoy's character in 'Atonement' (don't remember his name).
Dena, I read it for the first time about a year ago and I agree with you. I can see how it would have been an important book for the time, but "outdated" was exactly how I felt about it. It was my first by Robbins, and it didn't make me excited to pick up another by him. I'll try another sometime, though. I give authors a few chances.
@ Dena - do you mean "Cowgirls"? I find it more a struggle to read in my 50s than it was in my 20s, I'll admit (especially with being sober), but I still have huge mad love for the book.
"Still Life" is a better written, more structured, and less abstract read. Enjoyable as f""". Queen Tillie's "Uh, oh, spaghetti-o's" can still make me guffaw.
James Spader in 'Pretty in Pink'; Cameron Mitchell in 'The High Chaparral'(sp?) as Buck; Tom Selleck in anything; Lou Diamond Phillips in anything but especially Longmire. Can't think of any others at the mo.
@ Dena and @ Moose - Skinny Legs and All still my favourite Robbins - Boomer Petway III yeehaw @ Sara, Making It Work +1 000 000 on Tom Hardy as Charlie Weasley, I have a serious fantasy happening about that
Thor, like 5 other people here. Loki as well, for that matter. Tony Stark too. Just throw the entire MCU up in here, actually. Except Thanos. Fuck Thanos.
