Buddy Holly glasses make everyone just a bit hotter to me.
@dearheart: Yeah, me too. I call it the "Rivers Cuomo Syndrome".
@dearheart: Yes, I completely agree.
isn't the thinking woman's sex symbol steve buscemi?
He's a sex symbol? Really?
the beard helps.
@wankster: i guess "thinking woman" is really supposed to mean "clive owen wouldn't give me the time of day." :(
@wankster: if "thinking woman's" is code for "not really all that attractive."
He has much to answer for, being in that goofy M. Night Shamalamadingdong thing he was just in. Narfs indeed.
Even bigger turn-on for nerdy chicks everywhere? He's playing John Adams in a new HBO mini.
OMG.
I can't get into the beards. I always take them personally, like the dude can't be bothered to make himself pretty for me. Yep... I'm always thinking, all right.
Never found him hot on any level, but he's sort of upping the sexy in this pic quite a bit.
I love him as an artist (Lady in the Water notwithstanding), but would never think of him as a sex symbol. Does that mean I'm not a thinking woman?
@hamsterpants: He and Laura Linney star in John Adams, a 7-part miniseries airing in March(?) on HBO, so hopefully that will help him answer for it. I know I'm looking forward to it.
Not even remotely sexy.
I am a thinking woman...
I am thinking...
No, Paul Giamatti is so NOT a sex symbol...
I am now thinking about something else.
You know, he's not my cup pf tea or kettle of fish or whatever (I do admire his acting), but I kind of have mad love for the weird looking, or at least the unconventional. I'm totally in love with Phillip Seymour Hoffman. And Lewis Black. I know, I'm weird.
@hamsterpants: I am also in love with Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I once saw him in Washington Square Park, and the impassioned look on my face must have frightened him because he ran away. I want to just gather him into my arms in that scene in Magnolia where he is crying over Jason Robards.
Wait... Only stupid women get cute guys?
@hamsterpants: psh -- DEF crush. talent and an apparent soul do it for me most days. but lewis black is a step too far for me. i guess i don't think THAT much.
@ladyskittlehattington: i know someone who dated and DUMPED him. so dumb.
@ladyskittlehattington: I even liked him in "Twister", even, and that is one craptacular film.
I'm an attractive thinking woman and I am way more attracted to "ugly" guys than the rest. As long as they are tall. Admittedly, Paul looks kinda cute here, the cutest I've ever seen him look. @hamsterpants: P.S. Hoffman's acting skills and movie role choices make him a major babe.
@hamsterpants: And don't get me started on how much I love Lewis Black or we'll be here all night.
And Eddie Izzard.
And Geoffrey Rush.
@J.D.Regent: I said I was weird. That's fine, more crazy LB strangeness left for me ;>
@hamsterpants: Hehehehe....me tooooo!
@hamsterpants: I love my girls - mt best friends who I'd take a bullet for - but it's not the same love I have for my boyfriend. Such is is the difference between my love for Philip and Paul, and my love for GEORGE. (Add a John and a Ringo in there and we're in 1966.)
I guess it is the difference between cerebrally happy, and vaginally happy.
I love him in a platonic, "you light up the screen and I'm so happy to see you in everything" kind of way. He was awesome in American Splendor, Sideways and that boxing movie with Russell Crowe. He even made Shoot-Em-Up less egregious, and that was a feat.
I have a secret crush on Paul Giamatti. I heard him speak when Sideways came out, and he was so sweet and intelligent, charming and self-deprecating, that I just......love him.
I should be ashamed, shouldn't I?
I think.......not.
(Thanks, PICKLES_IN_MY_TUNA, for doin' it even better!)
Oh, ladyskittlehattington and hamsterpants, we have the same tastes. Eddie Izzard (and I loved him way before The Riches) is so beautiful. There are no words.
Also, I agree about Giamatti. He's looking hottt here.
@MonkeySeeMonkeyDo: I have hot Izzard wallpaper on my computer. And I have a theory that he smells awesome.
I think he's so sexy. He filmed the John Adams movie in my town and I tried stalking him based on local gossip, but never saw him. :(
This thinking woman is thinking Paul Giamatti looks like my uncle.
Now this thinking woman is thinking of bleaching her brain, because the juxtaposition of uncle and sex symbol is wronnnngggg.
I am not familiar with his work, but he has something about him sexy-wise, as if he could think of some very very interesting things to do.
@ladyskittlehattington:
Oh, yes. He has to smell amazing. Is it wrong that I find the cross-dressing version of himself even hotter? Eddie in heels = extremely sexy.
About a year or so ago I admitted my crushes on Paul and Philip, and let me just say that I was thoroughly mocked. Didn't make the crushes go away, I just keep them quiet now. But here in the safety of Jezebel, I shall scream from the treetops!
@MonkeySeeMonkeyDo: Oh, and fishnets. It's the confidence he wears it all with.
Eddie: I like my women like I like my coffee. With a spoon in them.
@katekatekate: I am really excited for Join or Die. My nerd self loved Rome
@hamsterpants: LOVE Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He may top the list. I also have a strange affinity for Steve Buscemi. Never thought much about Paul, but that picture doesn't hurt. Love the glasses and the beard.
Does "thinking" now mean "no physical standards"?
I'd hit it.
I adored him in American Splendor. He was robbed! He should have had numerous awards for that performance.
Saw PSH after he did play, Shopping and Fucking, years ago, and he left the theater on his bicycle. So cute, and sexy sexy.
And I have to brag; I got the eye from Eddie Izzard one day on 1st Avenue about three years ago. He's about 5' to my 5'6", but hell, I'll take a pocket Adonis. I wanted to pick him up and carry him home.
I think he's sexy. Go fig.
I love him from Pig Vomit to Harvey Pekar... so great.
Oh Paul, you're so damn cute.
he's slightly elmer fudd for my taste. appealing though. my secret not traditionally hot crush is alan rickman. anyone seen Mesmer? god.
@hamsterpants: i feel you on lewis black too.
@eve804: Alan Rickman is gloriously sexy. It's the voice.
slimy+hott paul giamatti in "shoot em up" = full of win
LOVE him.
