thank you, officer torres
i can honestly say that “the terminal” is undoubtedly one of my favorite movies. for those unfamiliar with the plot, tom hanks plays viktor navorski, an eastern european man forced to live in JFK for six months when he is denied entry onto US soil, but can’t fly back to his native country due to a revolution. in those six months, he learns english, befriends many of the people working at the airport, begins a somewhat unrequited romance with a flight attendant played by catherine zeta-jones, and hilariously irritates the head immigration officer more and more by the day…a guy who tries to do everything legally possible to rid himself of the “navorski problem”, but fails repeatedly
yet, despite hanks’s comedic affectations, zeta-jones’s world-weary milfy sexiness, spielberg’s direction, and great performances by myraid actors, the movie solidified itself on my “top” list because of a single relatively insignificant character…a character who probably spoke less than 500 words the entire flick…
…zoe saldana’s officer torres…
…my favorite fictional love-interest of all-time. (honorable mention: nia long’s brandy from “boyz in the hood” and elastagirl from “the incredibles” )
in her mere 15-20 minutes of screen-time, saldana’s character somehow managed to exhibit pretty much every quality i’d look for in an ideal mate. compassion, intelligence, humility, romantic optimism, a tight blue uniform quirkiness…it’s like they intentionally grafted a character straight out of my conscious, a perfect personification of all of my “deal-makers”, fiction be damned.
anyway though, my question to you relatively fine folks: if you could bag (and “bag” in this instance could mean anything from “date” or “court” to “sleep with” or “imprison them in a texas ranch for 15 years“) any fictional character from any book, movie, or television series, who would it be? remember, i’m not referring to real live actors or actresses, but fictional characters that had you completely enthralled.
***oh. btw, on behalf of the team at verysmartbrothas.com, i wanted to thank everyone for helping to make our first month so successful.we’ve come a long way from those lonely shanty nights. riley and springer would definitely be proud.***

You know, I did think about the obvious Mr. Stringer Bell, but in the end, you couldn’t trust his loyalty. He will sell you out if need be, so no, def not him.
That being said, it’s tie between Dwayne Cleophus Wayne and Will Smith.
Dwayne was always trynna get his flirt on in clever ways. Deep down he was a sensitive guy. I also respected his mind (many men don’t impress me intellectually) and I liked that he wanted to be a professor. I like a nerd who has a different side to him.
Will Smith, meaning the character on the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. He always kept me laughing. But then he had a sensitive side to him too, which touched me. I liked that he tried to think outside the box when it came to living in his new lifestyle. Umm he was also cute!

co-signing stringer bell and dwayne cleophus wayne.
in the case of the former, “bag” would mean purely mean “do nasty, naughty things sans clothing and leave his a** before i got shot.” since messing with drug dealers has a way of getting you shot.
in the case of the latter, “bag” would mean “do nasty naughty things sans clothing and then talk about nerdy stuff like my unnatural love for arrays, my love-hate relationship with RegExp, and why trigonometry isn’t pure evil.” i have a thing for cute+nerdy goofballs … probably because i am one.

Surprisingly,I knew who this was instantly. For me it would be Brian Kelly(played by Simon Baker)in Something New. (he was Sanaa Lathan’s love interest in the movie. Out side of being insanely and damn near obscenely attractive in the movie, the character displays a great confidence and such a strong sense of self that it just drew me in. He was romantic, honorable, intelligent, manly, followed his passions, made his presenece know without having to put on a ‘hey look at me’ show and most impressively there was something about him that just made you want to just believe. Just close your eyes, relax enjoy the ride.

Mine would have to be Lena James as played by Jada Pinkett-Smith on “A Different World”. Aside from “ADW” being one of my most favorite sitcoms of all-time, her character was cute and spunky with a nice blend of revolutionary views and witty humor. She was low-key in comparison to a lot of the other characters, but she managed to always let her presence be known. Not to mention she had a B-Girl quality about her that I was always attracted to.

Like Liz, mine list would include Mr. Willard Smith of Bel Air…the later years though. Quentin from the Best Man…I like to laugh and he made me often.

-I also would want Will Smith on Fresh Prince, and Bad Boys, Independence Day, Enemy Of The State, Made In America…hell, any movie he was in aside from Six Degrees!
-If I could have a Black Zach Morris, I’d be happy
-Darius from Love Jones (thought this would have been a more popular choice!), minus the corny poetry and plus an appropriate height for an adult male.
-Would fight Liz for Dwayne Wayne. Ron had a quality I liked about him too, lowkey. Shaza Zulu would have been a potential boo at Hillman as well.
-Who was the character in “Something New” that Sanaa dissed for the White boy? All my friends were in the theatre like “Girl, stop playing! Pick him! Pick him!”
-I always thought Shadrach from “Song Of Solomon” was probably fine before he went nuts. Plus, that name is sexy to me for some reason (even though it is Little Bow Wow’s real one)
-Can I mention a jump-off crush? I’d totally do it to WeeBay offa The Wire, but I wouldn’t get shot trying to actually date him
-Denzel for the last 15 minutes of “Mo Betta Blues”

Dr. Lee from Drumline. I love a man that is passionate about what he believes in. And that undertone that he spoke in all the time was just so darn sexy. It’s funny because I don’t consider Orlando Jones himself to be even remotely attractive.
Next, would be Johnny Blaze and Johnny Storm. Those two guys are just hot. Blaze with his realism and Storm with his liveliness. Just two hot guys.
And lastly I will lightheartedly say Barak Obama because my marido constantly states “that’s a true character right there”.

Pam from martin cause she had mad attitude/whit and that thang was nuts. Even though I was just a wee tike when I first laid eyes on her…I knew that she was sittin’ on dubs.
Lisa Turtle (Saved by the bell). She was damn near the only black person in the entire school and yet somehow she was able to maintain her black-girl swag. Oh not to mention she was fine as hell.
Stacy Dash in Clueless. this needs no explanation.
Finally, Angela Bassett in every movie except “what’s love got to do with it” (waaaay to brollick in that one). In Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns she was simply stunning… AND she is like 67 (give or take…)!!

Lisa (Lark Voorhies)…Damn! I forgot about her. She definitely goes on the list. As well as Stacey Dash, although I’d take her as her “Mo’ Money” character.
Angela (Halle Berry) in “Boomerang” is also a winner. She was the low-key office cutie who was focused on her career, her passion (art), as well as love for kids. She was damn near the PERFECT woman. She also had that natural beauty that didn’t need the false glam of say the Robin Givens character.

Laura Winslow. I had the BIGGEST crush on her like ever for the entire run of Family Matters. I like to think we grew together.
What makes it even worse is that I met Kellie Williams in real life and turned into a total Steve Urkel. I’m pretty sure I professed to her my love for Laura Winslow. She must have thought I was cute b/c she invited me to some event she was having. Too bad I had to go out of town that weekend…
Foiled by an HBCU homecoming!

Quentin (Terrence Howard) of the Best Man film. Because of all the smack he talks, and his egomanaical behavior, I would want to suit up in a dominatrix outfit and whip him into submission (overshare?)

Dresser had that deep, sexy ass voice (I love when he starts singing his part/riff when they sing a Heart is a House for love acapella-after they get booed), the dance moves, he was a loyal friend (stayed tryna keep the group together), he was true to his wife, he took care of the old dance teacher, was a family man, just an overall good guy.

Two points here:
1) I’ve never understood the Terrance Howard thing either.

@Panama….I often address THE COS as a point of reference in how he has jacked up a generation od Black folks in how we perceive relationships, family, and marriage! I went to college thinking it would be like ADW…(and it kind of was, but only because I made it that way…) but alot of folks are all messed up in thinking that familiy life is what happened between commercials…it’s possible…plausible…but not as effortless as the script would have us belive…but I digress…I agree w/ you daddy…totally agree…
@ TOLDJA and VITAMIN…I learned my “craft” on a chocolate banana bomb pop…pudding pops were a little too slim to really challenge the gag reflex! CHURCH! lm(red)ao!

Okay Leila I am so with you on Omar Epps from Love and Basketball-that scene when he and Sanna play each other for their “hearts” before he is supposed to marry ole girl is just so hawt!
And Taye Diggs in How Stella Got Her Groove Back when they are going at it and he makes that single tear come out of Angela’s eye…whooo…makes me quiver!

My list is random (and embarrassing), but I thought I’d throw some new characters in the mix…
-Jamie Foxx (Willie Beaman) in Any Given Sunday
-Cuba Gooding, Jr. (Rod Tidwell) in Jerry Maguire
-Aidan on Sex and the City (just wish he were a brother)
-Henry Simmons (Detective Baldwin) on NYPD Blue
-Taimak (Bruce Leroy) in the Last Dragon…in my defense, I was a child when I had a crush on him

Yeah, my girl told me she saw Taimak the other day and he still looks pretty good.
It broke my heart when he tried to take advantage of Freddie on a Different World. Dwayne Wayne had to come thru and (try to) flex on him. “Run Freddie, run! Wait Freddie, wait!”
[Reply]
Miss Patterson {May 20th, 2008 at 3:31 am}
How could I forget Taimak? I was so in love with his ass at the tender age of 8. I wrote nasty letters to him and El Debarge in ‘83. I wonder where those letters ended up?
[Reply]
These were the first ones to come to mind.
Based on the character:
1. Allen Payne (Jason) in Jason’s Lyric
2. Will Smith (Alex Hitchens) in Hitch
3. Lamman Rucker (Troy) in Why Did I Get Married
Based on the fact that the man (character)did something to catch my attention in the movie:
1. DMX in Belly (one scene and no explanation necessary)
2. TI in ATL (I’m embarrased about this but it is what it is-a reformed thug with a southern accent)
3. Idris Alba in Daddy’s Little Girls
4. Matthew McConaughy in The Wedding Planner
[Reply]
Jess {May 2nd, 2008 at 2:18 pm}
People seem to like him in Hitch better than I am legend. How!
His arms were the size of my back in I am legend. My friend was talking to me during the scene where he was running on the treadmill all wet and stuff, and I literally stopped hearing what he was saying. has he always been that big?
I dont know, I had a woman woody throughout the whole flick

-Nino Brown in New Jack City… his cutthroat attitude had me when he said “I didn’t like yo a** any way! Pretty Mutha f**ker.”
-Matthew McConaughey in A Time to Kill…those baby blue eyes and that southern accent! whew! And he really got me when his house caught fire and he wouldn’t believe he dog hadn’t survived. That man had hope and hope is alright with me!
-Taye Diggs in Brown Sugar
-Andre 300 in Idlewild…the last few scenes were a lil kooky, but he’s a romantic.
-Turtle form Entourage… I’ve always dug the funny fat kid.

Ok here I go:
1.) Thelma Evans Anderson (a.k.a. Bern Nadette Stanis from Good Times) She can get it TODAY!
2.) Foxy Brown, not the rapper(Ugh…) but the Pam Grier version.
3.) Tapanga from Boy Meets World….that’s a thick white girl right there.
4.) Stacy Dash in anything….She makes me want to revitalize the title of Splakaveli
5.) New New from ATL. I can do without the fake hood attitude, but other than that she can have my kids.
6.)With that said, I can’t leave out Big Booty Judy from ATL (a.k.a. Buffy the Body) Gotta HAVE it!
7.) Chel from The Road to El Dorado. Combine the uncalled for cartoon hips and the Rosie Perez accent and Ancient Mayan life doesn’t look so bad….except for the gratuitous beheading and what not.
7.) Gina from All About the Benjamins (Eva Mendes). She was down for her man through it all. How many women would really come back with the money to pick you up from jail?
8.) Sunshine from Harlem Nights (Lela Rochon). I just gotta know….
9.) Effie White from Dream Girls (Jennifer Hudson). She was a good woman and she can sing her butt off. Singing gets me every time.
I could go on and on with this, it’s too much fun! I will stop there, but you understand.

Ryan Gosling in The Notebook. He wrote her letters man! Letters. Like he wrote complete sentences in which he professed his undying love to whatsherface and then put that shit in a book. He built a house for the two of them to live in. He made passionate love to her in the sweltering heat and then gave her a glass of lemonade or some shit. I love the idea of hot lovemaking. (ok, someone needs a warm towel) Then he grew old with her and stayed in the nursing home with her while she slowly deteriorated from Alzheimer’s. Now is that not love or what? That just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Rent it today.
