Hunks on notice (PM)

On Saturday morning Baby said to me "Maybe we should go to Scienceworks." And I said "Yeah we can do that soon." And literally minutes later I looked at Instagram and saw this and it made me question all of my decisions.

But I'm so glad K brought this up. Partly because hunks! What a great way to start the day. But also I've naturally had some thoughts about Tom Hiddleston and Oscar Isaacs myself so I'm grateful for the opportunity to explore these thoughts further.

I didn't even know Hiddleston was going out with TSwift until the weekend but I guess that's because I don't care.

Of course my introduction to Hiddleston was as Loki in The Avengers. But there he just looks like a young, well-groomed version of Severus Snape and as Thor's adopted brother and the bad guy I obviously did not pay him a lot of attention.

Here he is having a great time with Hemsworth on a rooftop somewhere.

And here they are enjoying the paper on a Saturday morning together.

I guess Loki has the section Thor wants to read #brolife

According to his IMDb page I haven't seen most of Hiddleston's other work, my greatest exposure to him being repeated viewings of Tinkerbelle and the Pirate Fairy, in which he voices Captain James but frankly that is not what started me thinking he may be a hunk so I assume it was just exposure to him as a guy about town that made me see past Loki and into the guy that may possibly be a hunk. Probably I saw him on Graham Norton a couple of times or something.

Anyway, I am definitely willing to admit that this guy got a thing and could totally be shortlisted for future hunkvelopment.

As for Oscar Isaac, well the grand tradition of the supremely attractive musician jerk meant that even, or especially, playing super douche Llewyn Davis, his hunk potential was apparent. I think to his detriment is that he is a bit chameleonic. You know like a good actor should be, but not like a hunk should be. But I am definitely interested in seeing where this thing goes.

K is right Oscar Isaac and Tom Hiddleston, you've done some great work to date. Let's see where this thing takes us!

Hunks on notice (AM)

Hunks. They're one of the reasons this blog exists. They don't get as much airtime as some of our other themes, and its not because it's crass to hear a couple of middle aged ladies talk about hunks. Being middle aged, being mothers of sons, having piles of adult responsibilities: these things are absolutely no impediments to our hunk talk. No. It's because the supply of hunks is so woeful. It might also be because we never really get to go to the movies anymore. But we watch lots of TV, and everyone says that TV is where all the good stories are now, ergo that should be where all the good hunks are. But no, readers, no. There are no hunks on TV. Jon Snow is attractive, but he is not a hunk. So yes, it's because the supply of hunks is so woeful.


Obviously there's Hemsworth and thank god for that.

Here he is with his lovely wife at Melbourne Museum this weekend. 

But is there anyone else? I don't think so.
But there are two fellows out there who I'm putting on notice as potential hunks and if they lift their game...really apply themselves 110 per cent during training then maybe, just maybe there will be a place for them on the squad. 

First: Hiddleston. 

The taller and pointier member of Hiddleswift. I've seen him around. He's caught my eye. He's not a sure fire hunk but I enjoy it when he pops up on my screen, and not in an entirely PG was. He's got a long way to go but I want to give him some hunkcouragement to walk that path. 

Next is Oscar Isaac.

I fist saw him as a young and handsome Jose Ramos Horta in Balibo. Then suddenly he was everywhere. Including Inside Llewyn Davis as the super douche Llweyn Davis. 

He's got a certain something, right? Like a swarthy Casey Affleck. It's not properly hunky but it's in the ballpark. Which is why k want him to keep practicing and see where he can take it. 

This is not an accelerated development program for hunks. No. This is hunks on notice. Hiddleston and Oscar Isaac: you're good work has been recognised. Now it's time to really put your shoulders to the wheel and go for it. We'll keep our eye on you and see where this thing goes.
