This Year's Candidates

So, what's done is done. Previous candidates have been thusly enshrined, and now it becomes time to decide on this year's inductee.

The DHMC NYE party host has been attempting to push his weird Kurt Russell fetish for three years. One must admit, he's relatively handsome. He's got the body of work (we'll ignore Captain Ron). He's a contender.

Other members have been clamoring for a little pepper in our salt. Denzel Washington is 52 and has the body of work, but, some have argued that he is too young looking and much more hot than handsome. He needs more grizzle...possibly a role for which he is required to grow a beard. Morgan Freeman has also entered the discussion, although there are concerns that while handsome, there is simply no way he can hang with Sean Connery. Edward James Olmos is captain of his own starship, but not nearly mansome enough. Tom Selleck's name may again be bandied about, but concerns over his overall body of work may still abound (although, IMHO the role of Thomas Magnum should garner immediate entry into DHMC).

Other members have proposed added a deceased wing to our hall of hansomeness. There's Sir Alec Guiness...Jimmy Stewart...but we're not sure if we are sophisticated enough to intelligently discuss movies before Technicolor. There were way too few realistic explosions before 1970.

Lastly, we will probably still hammer out details about the essentially dead triumverate who have thriving careers but have aged poorly; Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and Clint Eastwood. We'll have to see.

Anyway...the vote is on for tomorrow night.
