Pajiba Love

The Film Experience examines the 10 Most Lovable Cads in Cinema. Noticeably absent: Patrick Batemen. (The Film Experience)

It’s a good time. For the great taste. Of McDonalds. (Junkiness)

Shepard Smith forgets a television news anchor, loses cool. Listen, Shep — that only works if your first name is Anderson. (Jossip)

And here I thought that Fox would be the first to try to exploit the VT tragedy (with some horrid TV movie); turns out, the Church of Scientology beat them to the punch. (IDLYITW)

And speaking of the VT shooting — you know where the worst place to make jokes about shooting up a school is? A college classroom. Somebody forgot to tell Max Karson. (QuizLaw)

For all of you wondering why Fergie looks so eerily familiar to you, well, here’s your answer. (Yeeeah!)

See! See! I told you that women hate Capra guys. (Slate)

Given Hollywood’s penchant for turning every goddamn cockeyed idea known to man into full-length features, I’m taking wagers on how long it takes before they turn the Bum Hand skit into a Will Ferrell epic. Not familiar with Bum Hand? It’s after the jump. You can thank me afterwards.

The Cad List is...meh. Especially since it's lacking Uber-cad Patrick Bateman.

Cad Line: "You're dating Louis and he's in Arizona. You're fucking me and we don't have plans tonight. What could you possibly be doing?".

I mean, that kinda says it all.

i never really thought of patrick bateman as a loveable cad...

Ahhh! See? There's nothing unfeminist about not wanting a wimpy-ass man. It's practically science.

The sensitive man thing touched a nerve. I have long made it known that I can't handle sensitive men and that deep down most other women can't either. I'm supposed to be the one who cries at the end of a hard day dammit!

You just don't know PB (as his friends call him) like I do, Mikki. Once you see his softer side....well, he'll gut you probably, but it's really nice to see before you makes you all dead-ey.

Thank you katy! Let me share a little anecdote... My ex once got a gun pulled on him while he was sitting on the front stoop of my old apartment. That boy cried like a little girl. Sure, I was concerned for his safety and all... But also? I had never been less attracted to him. Gah!

The man who eventually became known as Mr. Salted, on the other hand, likes to say that he thought he cried once but it turned out he just had something in his eye.

Posted by: litelysalted at April 19, 2007 6:22 PM

I've always loved sensitive men - I think it takes more courage to be sensitive than to be your typical macho dude. My husband is tall, athletic, and handsome, but can sniff out my mood within seconds of my arrival home. Love him, love him, love him.

They didn't seriously leave James Spader as Steff in Pretty in Pink off the list, did they?

Posted by: Samantha T at April 19, 2007 8:20 PM

There is nothing wrong with a man who cries when he is sad. And a man with a goddamn gun in his face gets a fuckin' pass, okay?

The fellow described in the Slate article, however, sounds like one of my girlfriends the week before her period--snotting it up after a tough day at the office?! Please. That guy needs some work.

OK, I want to know why I was lured here by Christian Bale, when he's not mentioned anywhere. Did he play a cad? Is he just there for the eye candy? Did I totally miss something and now sound like an idiot? We'll just go with the candy theory. Mmmmmmm...Christian Bale.

Posted by: Busy at April 20, 2007 12:08 AM

Busy! If you really love Christian Bale you will head out right now and rent (or buy!) American Psycho.

I certainly wouldn't class Bateman as a 'lovable' cad however sexy he is!

Posted by: SAS at April 20, 2007 3:16 AM

See, the problem is that that guy doesn't have a badass car. Guys don't cry if they have a badass car, cause then there would be sodium deposits on the leather upholstery and that would be wrong :)

And Litelysalted, absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting a wimpy man. I just think I have an old and outdated view of feminism, where the term brings to mind man hating women who want nothing to do with the male species unless they're in the kitchen or the laundry room. That's mostly though because I like to believe (though I know it's probably wrong - I'm looking at you, cast of Laguna Beach and Real Housewives of Orange County) that most women today have a sense of female empowerment, and so reserve the term for the radicals out there. Mainly any of the women that are actually turned on by that porn for women book haha.

Hmm I think I may take the whole "not wanting a wimpy man" to extremes. I literally cannot watch a man cry - I have to leave the room even watching male characters weep in movies makes me insanely uncomfortable. But that's a matter for my poor tattered psyche and not feminism.

Bateman is the epitomy of a loveable cad. Ok, yes, he may be intending to sever you limb from limb but damnit if he isn't charming while he's doing it. Plus he has Christian Bale's face - which catapults him instantly into the loveable category.

Posted by: Alex the Odd at April 20, 2007 4:37 AM

You guys are hilarious. But in 100% total seriousness? I prefer a relationship where nobody wears the pants. Literally and figuratively... Okay I guess that wasn't very serious, after all.

As for the ex, I still adore him. He has since joined the navy and I send him care packages. Pretty sure he's still a pansy, though.

Posted by: litelysalted at April 20, 2007 8:58 AM

Ah, my apologies on missing the Bateman/Bale connection. Please blame it on late night reading. And for the very reason that I love him, I refuse to watch American Psycho. I limit myself to one creepy Bale movie, and that honor belongs to The Machinist.

Posted by: Busy at April 20, 2007 2:34 PM

I hate you for letting me know something as awful as that "Bum Hand" thing exists.

But all this Christian Bale talk has forced me to forgive you.

Posted by: Gudrun at April 21, 2007 7:24 PM

Uh, Fox News DID win. It just wasn't heavily publicized. Oh wait, it was. They blamed video games, before they even knew who the shooter was.

Posted by: Kat at April 21, 2007 10:46 PM

I'm really surprised at the lack of acceptance here for guys who cry. They do it, okay? Some more than others, and it's not exactly someone's proudest moment, but if you're not going to be understanding and be there for them, and accept who they are, then you're much worse than a guy who cries sometimes.
There's no less sexism to critisizing guys who cry then there is to critisizing women who want to be CEOs, or firefighters, or any other traditionally male job. In fact, it doesn't even mean a guy is that much more sensitive. Some people just cry easily, even when they're not very upset.

Posted by: Meredith at April 21, 2007 11:38 PM

Hmmm, yeah, I'm sticking with my original opinion. The hubby has cried at death (animals and humans...That's the right amount of sensitive) and the brief time long ago when we momentarily broke up. That's in the entire 15 years that we've been together. Sorry, I'm as liberal as they come with gender roles, but I need a man to be a man when it comes down to it. And that goes for putting the Ikea furniture together and mowing the lawn too.

Don't know if you'll read this, Samantha T - but, I must say you're a lucky woman. Does your husband have a brother - perhaps an exclusive club of that type of man? Hey, gotta look out for the other single ladies who frequent the site.

Too bad they're trying to delete the wikipedia page documenting what's been done to Max Karson:

Please, someone, review Flannel Pajamas.

Posted by: natalia at April 22, 2007 8:15 PM

Daphne: he has only sisters, no brothers. I believe having sisters is a trait one needs to seek out. All due respect to the sisterless men out there, but my experience with them hasn't been great. Jus' sayin'.
