I've been hearing about how Zach Braff is hot. I'm stunned. That guy is hot? Am I missing something? I mean, part of the reason Garden State didn't engross me was his character's relationship with Natalie Portman's - Nat snogging Jude Law, I can believe, but Zach Braff?
Is it the fame? It might be the fame. Paul and I are weary of Girl In A Rock Band syndrome - the poster child is Meg White, a woman we would not think twice of if we saw her on the sidewalk, but since we only see her in the context of one of the world's greatest rock bands, rocking us with harsh cymbal crashes...well, we get kind of turned on. Conflicted, but turned on. The same rules do not apply for the ladies. Sure, they say that they would give it to John Mayer, the epitome of Boy Songwriter syndrome, but they wouldn't. Ladies, you all knew John Mayer in high school, and you thought he was goofy. If he asked you to homecoming you would have just DIED.
Other people I've been stunned to learn are hot:
Orlando Bloom
Mark Ruffalo
(can't think of more right now)

Zach: hot.
John: a)I would have hung out with him in HS or b) I would have died because shit, someone actually asked me out!

Awesome post dude...good points all. Except one--Garden State was my second favorite movie of 2004 (behind Eternal Sunshine).
Girl In A Rock Band Syndrome (GIRBS)? Totally. I saw a band a couple weeks ago called The Kissers (think Jayhawks if they were more accomplished musicians, played a lot of Irish jigs, and sang about Madison, WI way too much), who have this girl fiddler, who physically was cute but probably wouldn't make me do a double-take. But when she started rocking that fiddle, she became hot! I think this is also what puts the likes of Fiona Apple and Sheryl Crow over the top for me. Mee-yow...
Also right on about John Mayer...I assume that's why he wants to run through the halls of his high school, and scream at the top of his lungs.

Another guy that is ugly as sin, but seems to get some ladies wet is Kid Rock. Kid F-ing Rock... the epitome of white trash.
And a rockin' chick who I probably wouldn't grind on at the bar -- Jewel. Yes, she has cleaned up a bit since she moved from Alaska and released "Pieces of Me", but she'll always be known as 'Snaggle-Tooth' to me.
Oh ya, by the way, I pretty much grind on anything at the bar.

Interesting post so I thought I should comment. Zach Braff, he is adorably funny hot. I love him on Scrubs and find him attractive.
John Mayer, good point. But if he sang to me in high school, I would've been done.
Orlando Bloom? Hello? Seriously, you don't get that one. Have you watched Pirates of the Carribean? Man, that dude is on my "exceptions list" He is super hot and now newly single!!
Mark Ruffalo, this one I agree with, dude is not hot.
Now you have got me thinking about Orlando, so I'm going to go masterbate, I mean watch Pirates of the Carribean ;-)

I find it interesting that some people are too shy to comment directly on this site and e-mail me their comments instead...and yet Kelli can go ahead and write about stirring the soup, no big deal. The rest of you should take notes.
For the record, I liked Garden State, I just didn't love it. And (sigh) the problem I had with it was only partially the fact that Portman is too hot for him. (Am I the only one who thinks he looks like a pale Jewish giraffe? Anyone?) The specific scene I was bothered by was when he was pulled over on his motorbike - the Shins song was just kind of turned down. I guess Wes Anderson films have spoiled me, because that scene bothered me - Anderson's films feel like the movies are based on the songs. Garden State felt, at times, like the songs were placed haphazardly over the moving pictures.
I don't have a big problem with Garden State, just little ones.
I think we can all agree that Jude Law is the standard for male hotness.
