Fangirl Friday : Gerard Butler

By -
This Fangirl Friday, I'm going to keep it short and sweet! I'm sure our lovely readers are busy with the Holiday season, and recovering from their long Thanksgiving weekends last week. We could all use some man candy right about now!

So this week, ladies and gents, I will Fangirl about the very, VERY sexy, Gerard Butler! And this particular post is dedicated to my love, the very lovely Wench Beta! Arguably one of the biggest Gerry Butler fans I know! (And she happens to be one of my favorite people.)

For you, Beta! Mwah!

Click through to get to the important stuff!


For me, it all started with a movie called Dracula 2000. I know... doesn't sound very promising, but I loved it when I was younger, and that had everything to do with Gerard Butler. I gotta say, he was a pretty sexy Dracula. I didn't understand why on earth Mina would ever want to say no to him.
We'd be running over each other
to grab that hand.
But I think the moment I (and Wenches Barb and Beta) REALLY fell for the awesomeness that is Gerry Butler, was in The Phantom Of The Opera. Yes, I know. A lot of people were not a fan of the casting, but I never really cared one way or another until I watched it. But there were lots of people who just didn't care for him as The Phantom, mostly because he was too attractive. (Totally understandable btw.)

I LOVE this.

But really, he had me from the get go. Once he sang a few notes, I was a goner. I loved him!

Sexy pout and all!
I've mentioned in my old Villains Man Candy post how the original Phantom is an unhinged psychopath, which they REALLY watered down in the movie, but who better to make you love a creepy stalker than Gerard Butler? (I would like to clarify, creepy stalkers are gross and I'm not one for romanticizing any form of that behavior... I just mean he's pretty to look at and lovely to listen to, and you felt twinges of pity for the guy because Butler played him so well.)
Ah angst
Then came 300 and everyone lost their shit. I mean, I don't blame them because..well, all the abs for one thing.
Abs and manliness.. a deadly combination.
It seemed like Butler was born for the role of King Leonidas. Not just because of his glorious muscles, but because you could totally see why he was such a great leader (and husband). One of Gerard Butler's best roles to date for me! (Even though the media pretty much reduced it to "WERE THOSE YOUR REAL ABS!?" Predictable.)

Everyone after 300. 
I mean, can't blame them. They were great abs. Glorious muscles. Drool worthy. Lickable. Very, very sexy.
Glad he agrees with us!
He was great to watch in RocknRolla, kinda awesome in Nim's Island, hilarious and sexy in The Ugly Truth, AMAZING in Law Abiding Citizen, and who didn't fall in love with Gerry in P.S. I Love You?? (Anyone? I don't think so.)

Gorgeous AND talented

Every time I think I'm over him, he does the sexiest and/or dorkiest thing, and I'm back. Like the adorkable (and still somehow arousing) dancing in P.S. I Love You.



The video above, for your viewing pleasure. 

Or the VERY smooth and sexy moves he displayed in The Ugly Truth. SWOON! 

I'd be lying if I said I didn't wish that was me.

Here's the video!

 He looks beyond amazing in a kilt! (The Wenches have a weakness for men in kilts! Wench Merit wrote a great Fangirl post on kilts a while ago!)

It would be a travesty not to mention one of my favorite things about him. Which is his world class ass. Two of the movies that blessed us with his glorious ass were Law Abiding Citizen and 300. (Head Wench Barb will appreciate these!)

I wish there was a clearer screen grab.

Holy.Ass.
I've lost my train of thought now. Honestly there's lots more I can say about the awesomeness that is Gerard Butler. His sexy accent, his soccer skills, his wicked sense of humor. How amazingly hot he looks in those Boss commercials, and tons more. But everyone's usually low on time this season so I don't want to give you more to read. So here are some more irresistibly sexy gifs!

Imagine that walking towards you. 

I'd touch my face a lot too if I looked like that.
You are welcome. 
What about you readers? What are some of your favorite things about Gerard Butler? Feel free to share with us in the comments!

    He is far too perfect, as in, he's pretty much ruined me for other guys. Help. But, don't. I mean, thank you!? I could watch that wink gif forever.

A Tribute to The Fiery Cross

Or How I Learned to Stop, Smell the Pig Shite, and Fall in Love with the Fifth Book in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Series A young White Sow dreams of all the food she’ll be eating to grow into her role in this book As the wait for the new Outlander book and television series drags on (and oooooonnnnnnnnaaaarrrggghhh), many fans have been rereading the first seven books in the series. Fascinating online discussions abound as to the motivations of the characters, the nuances of meaning within various scenes, and future possibilities and foreshadowing. Amongst enthusiastic effusions about all things even remotely associated with our beloved series, I’ve seen one recurring subject of complaint. People like to pick on The Fiery Cross . “It’s too slow.” “It doesn’t have enough action.” “Where’s the mystery?” So during my recent reread, I set out to take a few notes about memorable moments. But I gave that up early on. There were far too many. Because the book was like a beautifu

A SUPER Spoilery Discussion of Feversong by Karen Marie Moning by: Zee the Terrible and Barbara Bones By Olga. It's now been two weeks since we got our hot little hands on Feversong , the final book in the Mac & Barrons part of Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. It's almost all we can talk about in the Saucy Wenches hallways (which is really online, but you get the drift) and we have lots of thoughts and opinions so we aren't putting off our Super Spoilery Recap Extravaganza any longer!  Zee told you about how much she loved it in her Wench review, here , and it will surprise exactly no one that Barb did, too. Loved it to pieces. Thought it was pretty much perfect, exactly the kind of conclusion KMM has been promising us since she gave us Iced , leaving everyone precisely where they need to be. That said, we have lots and lots and LOTS of thoughts. So come with us through the jump where we're dishing all the dirt, in filthy, spoilery detail. We menti

Dani Mega O'Malley: Superstar

By -
Image
Giddy with anticipation for the release of Karen Marie Moning's Iced , a lot of the Wenches have been thinking about Dani "Mega" O'Malley, the young sidhe -seer we first met in Bloodfever , who is poised to step out of the shadows behind Mac and Rowena and take center stage. Though Moning has recently said the three books she is writing for Dani will continue the story we've been following in the Fever books, the POV will shift to reveal the next chapters through Dani's eyes. With our heads firmly buried in Shadowfever in a frenzied effort to finish our rereads before the new release, we Wenches have been wondering what's in store for Dani. But no one has wanted to stop reading long enough to write a proper tribute to our young heroine as she prepares to take the leap to leading lady. Though we all think she's pretty awesome and deserves a big ticker-tape parade to show our support. So a sneaky Wench tried the stealth approach and asked us

Review: Annihilation (Book and Movie)

When I read Annihilation last fall, I was intrigued, repulsed, mystified, enchanted, horrified, compelled, absorbed, and ultimately so unable to articulate what had happened that I didn’t attempt a review. But it has never stopped growing on me, new insights twining around in my brain. It’s insidious. Then the movie happened. I. Had. To. Go. I didn’t think anyone could film the book, and I was on Cloud 9 when I saw the abundance of rave critical reviews. It got compared to Apocalypse Now and 2001: A Space Odyssey ! It got called “stunning” and the “Best Sci-Fi Film in Years” that “ranks among great philosophical sci-fi”! And though there were many differences from the book, it sounded almost as batshitcrazybrilliant as the book!! Which means there are now two equally haunting versions of this story for me to wonder WTF happened. I might not have all the answers, but I’ve certainly enjoyed replaying scenes in my mind and pondering the possibilities. And I suspect that’s
