Thoroughly Into Justin

Even if you don't care about Jennifer Aniston, it's virtually impossible to not be aware of her every move in this tabloid-obsessed society of ours. So when Michael and I saw her new boyfriend, Justin Theroux, I thought he looked familiar, even though I wasn't entirely sure from where. By week's end, I had stumbled upon him in "American Psycho" on IFC and in the episode of "Sex and the City" where Carrie dated the writer who suffered from premature ejaculation (and had the coolest mom ever). After that, I remembered he was Brenda's sexy neighbor/lover on "Six Feet Under," and I loved him in all those different roles. Since he's about to be in an undoubtedly horrible Jennifer Aniston movie -- and I don't watch "Parks and Recreation" (I have Amy Poehler issues, sorry) -- I guess I'll just focus on his past works. Looks like he was in "Inland Empire" and "Mulholland Drive," both of which I've been meaning to see.

He was also in The Broken Hearts Club.

...and the smoking cowboy in one of my favorite films: ROMY AND MICHELLE'S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION. Although, his full-frontal backyard stroll in SIX FEET UNDER was the best showcase for showing off his...talent.

Ha! I was just about to post something Kevin said about him being in Romy and Michele's (my favourite movie of all time...I love ordering the "businesswoman's special" to get a reaction out of servers.

He's actually in two Sex and the City episodes, as two different characters. In addition to the premature ejaculator, he is also in an early episode at the "Thirty Under 30" party where Big is supposed to meet Carrie. Carrie uses him to try and make Big jealous. And he had a wicked unibrow in the episode, which I don't think was intentional.

You need to see Mulholland Drive not only for Justin, but because this film is so...David Lynch, that it's good.

I agree with Kevin...the Six Feet Under episode was memorable!

If you can get through "Inland Empire" let us know your thoughts, the toughest Lynch film to follow since "Eraser Head". I've seen it twice and I still get lost. Justin is the best thing about "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" bare chest totally pumped villain.

He has some wonderful moments in "The Broken Hearts Club" even though it's a small part.
