Retro Wood: Alec Baldwin

When I saw Alec Baldwin in "Miami Blues" back in 1990, I thought he just might be the sexiest man I'd ever seen. Ditto for Brendan Fraser, who drove me wild in "School Ties" and "With Honors." We all know what happened to Alec. But now I just saw a commercial for "Furry Vengeance" and couldn't help but notice that Brendan is now appearing on the big screen looking like he used to only between films. There's nothing wrong with filling out as you get older. But to say there's a double standard between actors and actresses in Hollywood -- remember what happened to Alicia Silverstone when she gained an ounce? -- might just be the understatement of the year. And I'm not even talking about age discrimination.

I used to dream about running my hands through that thick matt of hair on Alec's chest...also a good shot in "Married to the Mob"...I used to "replay" that tub scene at the beginning of the movie many, many times

Alec Baldwin is still a sexy beast. Brendan Fraser...not so much. But I have high hopes for his return to studhood.
