verushka70Had a sudden spazz; doubt it is an original thought. But it was new to me. Being a huge fan of all three, I thought: "What if Fight Club had been cast with (or written for!) Joe Dick and Billy Tallent as the Brad Pitt and Ed Norton characters?"
The visuals boiled up in my mind. (Joe Dick, naked to the waist, pants just barely hanging on his hips ala Brad Pitt... I don't give a shit if Joe Dick has six-pack-abs; I love Joe's stockier build, with skinnier Billy the perfect foil. This probably explains why I lost my shit entirely when I ran across jcjoeyfreak's screencaps that included a glimpse of Hugh Dillon's chest hair from a Degrassi High episode...)* Good, solid Hughbod... and chest hair? Be still my throbbing... nevermind...
Anyway, the point is, imo many actors are way too waxed and shaved, anyway -- remember that scene in Fight Club where the two guys are on a bus, and they see the Calvin Klein underwear ad and Brad says to Ed "Is that what a man looks like?" ? So, like, the idea of hairy, mohawked Joe naked to the hips in a basement, getting down pugillistically with Billy who is in a thin white cotton tank... or also naked to the waist... Guh...
Note that originally I thought "Joe Dick and Billy Tallent combined with Fight Club... yeeaaahhhh!" I didn't think Hugh Dillon and CKR. Then when I did go to the "HD and CKR in Fight Club" place, a lot more visuals boiled up... rivalling the first.
Go play that movie in your mind... Re-imagine every scene... with Joe/HD and Billy/CKR. Ahhhhhh.
But don't get rid of Marla, no, no. I love Marla. "Just slide..."

Chest hair is also why Pierce Brosnan and even Sean Connery will always be hot to me, even though Pierce is imo too thin. Even Steve Carrell had moments of hotness for me in 40 Yr Old Virgin. One look and you know you are looking at a man. 'Course there are exceptions; to the best I can determine, CKR is not a particularly hairy guy, yet he's still so fucking hot. And it wouldn't matter how hairy Tom Cruise was; I'd still think he was an idiot.
