J.D. and I were discussing in the comments on the last post about Eli Roth’s attractiveness and I came to the startling realization that I find Mr. Roth to be hot, in that smoking hot, fan yourself and stick your head in the freezer to cool off kind of way. But! Wait! It didn’t used to be that way. I used to think he was so homely! How did this happen – this slow build to fancying the pants off him, as they say?
That’s not even a rhetorical question. I want someone to explain this to me, dammit.
(It’s partly his arms. The more he shows those arms, the more I get what old fashioned ladies in my neck of the woods used to call ‘the vapors’.)
I give up. Let’s not hate, let’s appreciate:
I mean, really now. Stare long enough at that, walk away for a bit, and see if your opinion of Eli Roth changes. Maybe?
I was compelled to post this one. Compelled, I say! Why? I look at this picture and hear in my head, “Five syllables: DE-REK ZOO-LAN-DER”. I can still laugh at Eli Roth at this point. A few months from now? I’ll probably be a Rothian pod person, so sorry, dudes. No more laughter after that.
The hat. The arms! The stubble. The swoon! Oh goodness me, the HAT. I’ve got ten imaginary dollars that Mr. Roth is a huge Spice World fan. (You know you like it too, shush.)
And I know some of you might hate the Hostel flicks, but look at his face:
Have a heart.
(Some of these photos were taken off Eli Roth’s Super Awesome Official MySpace Thingy. Uh…here’s hoping no one gets pissed about that.)
You are officially the most amazing female on the face of the earth. Juliette Binoche can go fuck herself.
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Juliette Binoche is far more triumphant than I am, but I thank you nonetheless.
And now I wait for the haters to come vomit in the thread. Of course, I could be wrong like I was about Jeff Motherfucking Goldblum, so there you go.
Um, no. And trust me, I will stand by you Caitlin. We shall fight off the h8rs!
FOR SEXY ARMS!!!!! *charges into battle*
FOR SEXY ARMS!!!!! *charges into battle*
HA. Well, for that set of arms… yeah, sure, why not. I got nothin’ else better going on.
Randomly: It amuses me to no end that one of the ‘recommended posts’ that WordPress automatically puts at the bottom of my post is “I hate my wife, part 1”.
Hahahahahahahaha. That sounds like it could be his next film.
I always appreciate when a woman goes ga-ga over a fellow who’s not a pretty boy.
It’s nice to know that “two tickets to the gun show” still have some value these days. :)

Starring Jordan Ladd and… I don’t know! Heh.

Aha! Well, I do that quite often actually. Heh.

I nearly knocked coffee on myself when I read this. That and I pictured Rainn Wilson on The Office saying it in my mind. Damn, you know, let’s not get me started on The Arm Subject, but let’s just say it started with Saint Keanu in SPEED. His arms in that movie are the stuff of legend.
I can’t say I’ve seen Eli Roth in anything, but he looks fine to me. Oh, wait, he was a student (uncredited) in _The Mirror Has Two Faces_, which I have seen (erm, because of Jeff Bridges).
I enjoyed _Spice World_ a lot, even though I was never a fan of the Spice Girls. British humour (generally) = love.
Also, I love that in the last picture, Eli Roth is wearing a shirt with those two grouchy old Muppet dudes (their names are Statler and Waldorf, apparently . . . I’ll remember that).
Speaking of men with the last name ‘Roth,’ I have to admit I think Tim Roth is pretty darn adorable/sexy. I liked him enough to sit through the remake of (ugh, do I have to say it?) _Planet of the Apes_. Big mistake . . . but we’ve been through that before. But, yes.

Off the top of my head I know he’s been in Death Proof and he’s in Inglorious Basterds. He cameo’d in Cabin Fever (which was his own film).

I love the Spice Girls AND British humor! I win all the way around. You do have to respect the sheer amount of Famous British People that are in that movie, though.

I was hoping someone would catch that! That’s the primary reason I ninja’ed that from Google Image Search.

Tim Roth is amazingly sexy. Ah, good Lord. Are you watching his new TV show? I don’t know if you guys are getting it up in Canada, but his show Lie To Me on Fox is supposed to be pretty good. I have sat through some serious awful shit for Gary Oldman (Lost In Space, anyone?) so I sympathize.

I actually only heard about the show yesterday; I’ll have to see if any of the channels we get are playing it.
And, YES! to Gary Oldman. When I discovered _Rosencrantz and Guildenstern_ the beginning of last year, and both Tim and Gary were in it . . . well, it was some serious love, to say the least. Yes, I admit I tried watching _Lost in Space_ for him as well. I’m sorry, Gary, I couldn’t do it. 0-o
Spice World has the best cameos! Meat Loaf! Alan Cumming!
As for Eli Roth, I don’t think he’s bad looking, but he gives off this smarmy vibe that makes him unattractive to me. Maybe it’s because the main thing I’ve seen him in is Death Proof and he was an asshole there. Maybe it’s the eyebrows. Maybe it’s because he reminds me a lot of Zachary Quinto’s Sylar from Heroes. (seriously).
But I do respect your opinion! I think Gene Wilder was sexy so I am really in no place to put down other people’s attractions.

Jennifer Saunders with her Manta Ray speech!

Oh no. I can totally understand that. I think he might be kind of smarmy, too.
Maybe it’s because he reminds me a lot of Zachary Quinto’s Sylar from Heroes.
It’s like if Quinto and Derek Zoolander had a lovechild, Eli Roth would be it.
I think part of it is that he can come off as arrogant or as obnoxious sometimes and it can make him unlikeable. I just like the fact that he’s putting out gory horror movies, so you know. I’m easy to please.

GENE WILDER IS ADORABLE. AD-OR-ABLE, and I would hate to think I’m living in a world where that’s not an accepted opinion. Shiiiiit. I can totally get your Gene Wilder love! Heh.
Haha thanks for the acceptance!
Also, unrelated, but have you heard about this? The kid from Troll 2 made a documentary about the cult following the film has developed. And apparently the director has decided to make a sequel, Troll 2: Part 2.

I had heard about both, actually… If you’re interested, the guy who made Best Worst Movie (the doc about Troll 2) is on twitter as username bestworstmovie. It’s kind of interesting, actually…
Of course y’all had to ruin this by talking about Tim Roth and fucking Gene Wilder.
J.D., scroll up and take a gander at Eli Roth’s arms, then hit “END” and get your ass back down here. You’ll feel better. And you’ll skip the “icky” Tim Roth/Gene Wilder talk (I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU DO NOT LIKE TIM ROTH LIKE THAT OKAY).
Well, Eli > Tim. DISPUTE THAT.
But he’s sexy, yes. I never said he wasn’t.
*stares at arms*
*drools all over keyboard*

DUDE. We gotta get some Inglourious Basterds pictures in here; his arms are amazing in that… wait… wait…
God bless JA @ My New Plaid Pants, that’s all I have to say:
http://mynewplaidpants.blogspot.com/2009/02/swing-batter-batter-swing.html
I wouldn’t be surprised if JA actually IS god. At least the God of Hot Guy Screencapping.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMhmm.
I wouldn’t be surprised if JA actually IS god.
At least he’s a benevolent god, then!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMhmm.
Yeah, that’s what I said, too. :D
Hehehehehe.
God, all the time we’ve both wasted drooling over guys.
Zoolander + Eric Szmanda + Zachary Quinto = Eli Roth.
In a good way.
Ooh, Eric Szmanda. Yum.
Zoolander + Eric Szmanda + Zachary Quinto = Eli Roth.
DEAD FROM LAUGHING BECAUSE IT IS TRUE.
Oh Caitlin. We were there. We were right there with the whole Night of the Creeps thing. Me and you. Together. As one. And then this. Eli Roth? The sight of the guy makes me want to punch the person closest to me.
You’ve seen Death Proof right? You’ve seen his cameo? And you still feel this way?

It was a beautiful thing, Piper! A beautiful thing. *sniff*

Can you make sure you’re sitting next to someone like, say, a High School Musical cast member when you next view a photo of Eli Roth?
You’ve seen Death Proof right? You’ve seen his cameo? And you still feel this way?
Yes. Yes… I do. I may sound like a broken record, but I’m blaming it solely on the arms. I just black out on his cameos. They’re awful. Even his cameo in his own faux trailer made me cringe. I’m hoping Inglourious Basterds will be different.
eli roth is incredibly sexy in inglorious basterds. that’s honestly how i found out who he was, and he has some of the best lines… and if anyone has a thing for arms, they absolutely must look at some pictures of mark wahlberg from shooter. not a very good actor (except for in the departed) but few can beat that body.
I can’t help it. As much as I hate Eli Roth, the come-hither eyes in his devil-dick pic and all of him throughout Inglorious Basterds made me hot n’ bothered.
How the fuck did he DO that??
