This Movie Is McCheesy

This is actually about a movie, but it's a movie I don't think I'd ever watch except when it's on TV (and really, nothing else is). And I'm talking about a star who is best known for a TV role, so I'm going to go ahead and say it counts.

I've never been much of a Grey's Anatomy fan, but you don't have to be to know that Patrick Dempsey managed to revive a career by portraying "Dr. McDreamy" on the show.

So as I'm watching Made of Honor, they manage to fit in a scene where McDreamy doesn't have a shirt on. It doesn't surprise me that it's in there- I mean, it's a chick flick that was basically designed for women to come gawk at McDreamy- and casual shirtless scenes are a hallmark of most chick flicks these days. (Either that, or Matthew McConaughey has some weird sensory disorder that makes it impossible for him to wear a shirt through an entire movie.)


So it doesn't surprise me that he's shirtless, but what does surprise me...

This is McDreamy? This is the guy that countless women swoon over? He's not terrible or anything, just... average. I just would've guessed he'd have pecs that almost rival the size of my boobs, chest skin that looks a little too perfect and Ken-doll-plastic-y, and abs that look like I should take a (weird) crayon rubbing.

None of those are things I find attractive in the slightest, but it seems that a lot of women love that muscled look. And McDreamy was just rather normal, and it wasn't what I would've expected.

Maybe I'm not the only girl cares a lot more about a gorgeous head of hair than a chiseled chest!


Fun Fact That I Found Out While "Researching" This: Patrick Dempsey auditioned for the role of Dr. Chase in House, M.D. but lost the role to Jesse Spencer.

Points of Annoyance

1) Oh, so I guess the Stupid Bumbling Assistant is considered comic gold once again, ey? How delightful. Incompetence and ignorance are always funny.

2) If someone calls me and doesn't leave a message, I almost never call them back. Why should I assume they want a call back? Furthermore, why should I be at the beck of anybody who has my number, when they can't even take the time to tell me what their call was regarding? The reason you leave a message to say "Call me back" is to let that person know you had something important enough to talk about that you would appreciate a return call. Common courtesy. If you knew ahead of time that they weren't going to answer their phone, then fine, text them. Otherwise it is perfectly acceptable to leave a message saying "please call me back".

3) Lance m'dear, these commercials make you look like a giant dick. Ok, bye.

I've noticed that on every single Farmers Insurance commercial I've seen, the person giving the surely authentic testimonial says something like "Five days after I talked with my Farmers agent, we had a fire in our house and lost everything." or "Just two weeks after contacting our Farmers representative a devastating flood took every last thing we owned." or "It wasn't a week after I got with my Farmers agent that the hurricane hit."
Seems to me that it's mighty dangerous to talk with these Farmers people...
