...the pyrokinetic girl in Hellboy?

I mean, when she lifts up her hand and all of a sudden it's on fire and the fire is blue, I just want to... rowr. Unf. Mmmm.

I realize it helps that I find her (Selma Blair) very attractive. Maybe that's all it is. But the fire is like this cool extra bonus. I dunno. Maybe I'm just frazzled from chronic sleep deprivation – these last two months or so have been patently absurd as far as my degree is concerned – or maybe I have a thing for fire and I'm just trying to hide it. Dunno.

There was someone else who watched Hellboy while sleep deprived. But he didn't like it. I forget who it was. If you people are all so sleep deprived, why do you spend your spare time watching movies? [Razz]

I mean, I can see "I've been keeping vigil over my dying grandmother and I'm so sleep deprived". But "I was watching 'Hellboy' and Waaah, I'm so sleep deprived?" Granted, in your case it made it more enjoyable. So, uhhh, congrats.

Edit: Duh, spelling

As a stright woman, let me say...

Selma Blair is totally hot.

And fire is always a plus.

Is it just me, or does she remind anyone else of Ralphie? [Wink]

Because she (the fire-girl character) has mental problems, even though she's a good girl at heart.

Wait, what makes you think I'm attracted to mentally unstable women?

Pooka, it's me you're talking about, but you've got it all wrong. Yes, I was a little sleepy during Hellboy, but it was Lost In Translation that I was sleep deprived during, and that was only during my second viewing of it.

I know BtL in the real world. And we mostly do it for Ralphie's benefit. [Wink]

Selma Blair? The evil chick from Legally Blonde? And what's that other movie...with Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate? I don't think Selma Blair is pretty at all.

Some other dude was talking about Jennifer Connoly (or however you spell it). Now, she's pretty. Oh! It was Slash. He likes her.

But that's just my opinion. I've been in love with Brenden Fraser since I was 17.

I thought Ilsa (the blonde) was hotter.
Well, Liz was hotter in the sense of starting fires, but otherwise Ilsa was hotter.

Really? I found the blond less wholesome.

She was also in Cruel Intentions with Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillippe.

She's not beautiful, but she's cute.

Why am I attracted to the Wolf from The 10th Kingdom? Why is anyone attracted to anyone!?

Wait, I know the answer to the first question. Because he's HOT. (drools)

*raises hand timidly*

I had forgotten about Wolf. Yeah, I thought he was pretty hot.

*waits to be flamed for being a furry again*

Shhh... Doesn't count. He's only hot when he's NOT furry.

*is reeeally hesitant to say this*

As much as I hate to further incriminate myself (I honestly had never considered thinking of myself as a "furry" until someone called me one here) I feel I must confess that it was in part the "wolfishness" that made him all the more appealing to me.

Meh. (shrug) You're only furry if you want to be. Wolf appeals to the primal senses. (drools)

If I'm attracted to pyrokinetics, you can be attracted to wolves.

Bev, it's better to be accused of wanting the furry, than to be accused of actually BEING the furry. [Embarrassed]

Oh, and Selma Blair. Ehh, neh.
