Monday Morning Meat #73
Since I mentioned No Country for Old Men a week ago, it is only appropriate that this edition of MMM features yet another old fart that’s got more testosterone in his veins than all those six-packed young kids put together. Meet Tommy Lee Jones.
He delivered his best line, I think, in The Fugitive: “Alright, listen up, people. Our fugitive has been on the run for ninety minutes. Average foot speed over uneven ground barring injuries is 4 miles-per-hour. That gives us a radius of six miles. What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Your fugitive’s name is Dr. Richard Kimble. Go get him.”.

Uh, I demand a recount! Javier Bardem was the obvious choice here. Though he’s (of course) far from being an old fart.

While already talking about resemblance, have you noticed in ATTNP some weeks ago, that Lado Bizovičar, when his hair not having on the forehead, could easily be starring in a film about the young Tommy Lee Jones a the lead role.

@Camille: This is not a democracy, this is a pengovskycracy. Which of course means that (unlike a certain Rolling Stones song) you always get what you want
At least as far as meat and skin are concerned 
@Davor: Really? I’ll have to have a closer look. But I don’t think Lado is nearly ugly enough to play TLJ

Well, I’ll try to translate my often-used-sentence: “Everybody has it’s own taste”, said the cat when licking its asshole.
April 28th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
I approve, good choice (of the man, but not picture)
less (meat) is more
As for Javier Bardem, he had such a horrible hair style in his last movie, No country for old men http://redherrings.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/bardem.jpg
that it will take some time till we think of him as a handsome, gorgeous, ravishing man as he no doubt is

@mars: ROTFL!
good one!
@Aja: Finally something to your liking, eh
April 28th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Hey P, doing well in this category
Again, a *man*! Perhaps just slightly past his prime, but a man nonetheless.
April 28th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
still far away from my liking but a step in the right direction by all means
April 28th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
MMM has been going in the WRONG direction for a while now. Pengovsky, I think you should absolutely ignore all this malicious advice on using ‘real’ men for these (which seems to translate as old & hairy - eww). It’s just unappetising, that’s what it is!
(I’ve noticed that girls always have such weird taste in men. Don’t know what’s got into them really. Their sense of taste might be broken, collectively. :p )
April 28th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
I, for one, encourage the girl’s taste in older man. Especially as I am only getting older, he he he.
April 28th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Alex, no worries, there are plenty of girls out there just nuts about boyz. They may not have a very keen interest in debates on politics, but they do appreciate an innocent, puppy-dog-eye face crying for love… preferably in a pop rhythm
I guess it’s women that are interested in men and girls that are interested in boys. Not sure about Mrs. Robinson, though 
April 28th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
@Alex: Speak up, then!
I must admit that crni has worded my thoughts far better than I ever could have, so I’ll take yours and Aja’s tips quite seriously and balance things out.
There is one problem, though… All those boy-toys out there look exactly the same to me and then I usually find myself going been there, posted that, deleted those… eeeewww, you don’t put that in there, do you?…

@ dr Filomena: Oh, that’s a shame. I was hoping all women/girls liked hairy old men. There’d be less competition for the good ones then. :p
). It’s a good thing in the end I guess!
No, seriously, all my friends who are girls have a totally different taste in men from mine (and I categorically refuse to admit I have poor taste - no matter how compelling the evidence
@ pengovsky: They do NOT all look the same.
And even if they did, they’re good eye-candy anyway. 
But hey, it’s not MMM I read your blog for, so I’m sure I’ll survive even if the other camp wins the day. Just wanted to add a dissenting voice in.
April 28th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
well, things are gonna be just fine, as long as you don’t get weak and change the political system from pengovskycracy to democracy, that would ruin everything
like when two ppl live together and the wife is always nagging, there’s so many things she doesn’t like about the husband, and he’s trying to please her and then at the end she leaves him, saying: I don’t recognise you any more, you’re not the man I married.
So, hairy, hairless, smart, dumb, men, boys, as long as it’s your choice we’ll do just fine, (well nagging of course, some of as at least)
April 28th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
@Aja: Yes, dear!
April 28th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
LOL
April 29th, 2008 at 3:07 am
@Alex: Hihihi Love it!
And hey, de gustibus…
@P&Aja: Aaaahhh nice to see you guys kissed and made up….. a “yes dear” is bound to produce a smile

@ Pengovsky: Hint - Tyson beckford.
April 29th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Tyson Beckford,
too pretty to be real, he looks like he’s made of plastic

[…] Due to popular demand, this week’s MMM features Javier Bardem, this time from The Sea Inside (Mar Adentro). I know […]
