Oh, God. He's Dead? But He Was So Hot!

I was watching The Apartment and noting that Jack Lemmon was quite a looker in his day. I, of course, posted it to my Facebook page and got a couple of responses. I, then, realized how often I do this, since I watch a ton of old movies. I'm lusting after a guy until I realize, "Wait a tick!" Then I immediately run to IMDb, only to discover that either he's older than my grandmother or dead. This happens especially with musicals because singers and dancer are, by default, hot. (James Mitchell, aka "Palmer Cortlandt"/"Dream Curly," I'm looking at you.)

Anyway, I'm curious about which old stars you find attractive. So far we have Jack Lemmon, Gene Kelly, Paul Newman, Gregory Peck, Cary Grant, Sidney Poitier and Rock Hudson.

Please, add more to the list.

Update: I'm clearly not the only person to have this weighing on my mind. Here are some awesome old dudes over 50. This is a slightly different list than what I'm thinking, really. But it's along the same (vericose) vein.

Happy Effin' New Year from Your Pals at ABC

So, apparently, ABC won't be airing the remaining episodes of Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money. You have GOT to be kidding me! As I've said, there is nothing else on this network. From a programming standpoint, this is an absolutely moronic decision.

From a fan's viewpoint, this is a major "screw you" to these shows' audiences.

I swear, despite my intense love of television and having survived many an excellent show's cancellation, I have never reacted this way over a show's being axed. But it's the combination of the loss and the network's utter cluelessness that has sent me over the edge.

I still have four ABC shows that I watch (All My Children, Scrubs, Desperate Housewives, and Brothers & Sisters), so I can't officially cut ties with ABC. (Not that, you know, they'd even care. But it's the principle of the thing.) But I can sit here and seethe. Which is, of course, imminently healthy and productive.
