Is Ryan Reynolds a "big" star? - Dano Jun 19, 09:14 32

  - Shot in the dark. Clooney? -- nm - Shaun Jun 19, 09:45 1
    - no, Affleck. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 09:46
- Supposing he will be a big star on the same path as Matt Damon, where is he on Matt Damon's timeline? -- nm - Max Jun 19, 09:30 5
  - Matt Damon marries BAFFL. Ryan Reynolds marries ScarJo. Reynolds for the win. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 09:38
  - Matt Damon hooked up with the Soderbergh/Clooney/Pitt group. Reynolds has hooked up with the X-Men group. -- nm - Dano Jun 19, 09:37 2
    - Stuck on You/Just Friends, Gerry/The Nines? -- nm - Max Jun 19, 09:41
    - is he more like Affleck? -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:38
  - the paths are not comparable, IMO. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 09:35
- 4 covers on EW. They suspect something. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 09:23 3
  - They suspect that he looks good shirtless. -- nm - Dano Jun 19, 09:26 2

  - Just Friends is fantastic. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 09:40
  - He was in Blade 3; IMO, he made the movie watchable, for me. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 19, 09:28 1

  - I have a mild man crush on him. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 19, 09:43
- i don't think so. not yet. -- nm - kare Jun 19, 09:20
- I'm pretty sure his name has never appeared above the title in anything -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 09:16 5
  - Looking at some posters. He's above the title on The Proposal (with Sandra Bullock) and Just Friends -- nm - Dano Jun 19, 09:20 3
    - Oh, OK. For me, that's a pretty useful definition of A-List -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 09:22 2
      - The Proposal is definitely being sold as a Sandra Bullock/Ryan Reynolds movie instead of a Sandra Bullock/Some Guy movie. -- nm - Dano Jun 19, 09:27 1
        
        Right? -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 09:29
  - This is likely the closest. First billing. -- (link) - Shaun Jun 19, 09:18
- I think this is the summer of Ryan Reynolds. He hits the A-List this summer. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 09:16
- not yet, in the US. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:15
- so so close. i think The Proposal will launch him into big-star territory. -- nm - Andie Jun 19, 09:15 2
  - I think he has a lot of the intangibles, but it hasn't translated into box office yet. -- nm - Dano Jun 19, 09:16 1
    - i actually could see a Tom Hanks-ian career for him. I think from this point on, he's leading man material. -- nm - Andie Jun 19, 09:19
dunkind has a new munchkin? -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:14
wait wait wait. do we *really* think that many women go to college because they're husband hunting? in this day and age? - kare Jun 19, 09:13 44
- some do. I knew one girl whose stated aim was to find a well-heeled man. school was secondary. actually, much less than secondary. -- nm - mafic Jun 19, 09:46
- *solely*? Not many. But I reckon there's plenty of students of each gender who are looking while they're there. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 19, 09:46
- many? no. Sadly, a few still do. - ty97 Jun 19, 09:21
- I think that died out in the 60's and 70's -- nm - amoxy Jun 19, 09:16
- For that reason only? No. But I'll bet more guys are looking for wives than the general wisdom would suggest. -- nm - TWuG Jun 19, 09:16
- I'm sure a lot of people *think* it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:14
- i have to assume that no-one really thinks that. -- nm - Andie Jun 19, 09:13 37
  - it's sorta on the heels of my friend who graduated from Milsaps college in the 90s, and she said there were tons of girls there looking only for their - kare Jun 19, 09:17
  - Well, I imagine there's certain parts of this country where things are still done that way -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 09:15 35
    - i sort of think if you're goal is to get married there's a lot of easier and cheaper ways to meet eligible men. -- nm - Andie Jun 19, 09:16 34
      - with the girl I mentioned above: "my dad says I need a degree." - mafic Jun 19, 09:50
      - I guess it is like why people want to go to the Ivies. Access to the most elite (and "desirable") group. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:21 1
        
        OH! I knew there was a movie I was thinking of. Talented Mr. Ripley. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:33
      - You are applying modern logic to an old tradition. That is where you fail. - con_carne Jun 19, 09:19 28
        
        that has always been true, at least in the upper classes. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:20 27
        
        to each their own, but how positively sad that *anyone* would aspire to be a trophy wife these days. -- nm - kare Jun 19, 09:21 26
        
        with th trophy wives I know, it's not that they aspire to it, it's that it's what they're used to. - mafic Jun 19, 09:54
        
        I wouldn't mind being a trophy husband, really... -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 09:30
        
        I think youmight be missing one definition of "trophy wife." - con_carne Jun 19, 09:24 3
        
        i equate trophy wife with gold digger. someone who doesn't want to earn their own living. someone who doesn't want to earn her own living. - kare Jun 19, 09:27 2
        
        she *really* doesn't want to, huh? ;P - loosilu Jun 19, 09:28
        
        (sorry. I was talking with a coworker while posting.) -- nm - kare Jun 19, 09:28
        
        honestly, I do know women who did (and do) aspire to that. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:22 19

        And get this. - con_carne Jun 19, 09:33 6
        
        whoa! weird. -- nm - kare Jun 19, 09:36 1
        
        I am the most non-religious, agnostic fellow you could ever meet. *shrug* -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 09:38
        
        wait, she was claiming your jewishness rubbed off on her so therefore she qualifies for jdate? -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:35 1
        
        Yes -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 09:35
        
        yeah, that's kind of not okay in my book... -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 09:34 1
        
        I know, right? She even asked me to go along, were I ever asked or something. Naturally, I refused. -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 09:44
        
        I can understand money being desirable, but I sure can't understand accepting something like heavy drinking just to get the money. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:25 9
        
        if money is desirable, make your damn own! -- nm - kare Jun 19, 09:27 8
        
        But then, how are you supposed to be subservient to the male? Duh. -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 09:47

        I don't think it bodes well, for the long-term success of their relationship, but hey, if they're both getting what they want out of it... -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 09:33 2
        
        so they both move on to the next model. no harm no foul. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:34 1
        
        in an ideal world, yes. -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 09:35
