This List Goes To 11!
 

Continuing Our Tradition Of Immaturity And All Things Geeky Erich Has His Own List Of Hot Babes.

Being Erich, his list goes One Step Beyond The Normal and leaves No Hot Rock Unturned.  Reading through this list, I have to admit I'm starting to worry about Erich a bit. Ah, who am I kidding? I've always been worried about Erich.

2008 was a great year for Gorgeous Femmes. With the iPod sleek EVE and the incendiary Liz Sherman in theaters and the perky & pierced Pauly Perrette and laser-eyed Debi Mazar on television, true Film Geekz were bewitched, bothered and bewildered by the amazing graces of these astounding women. Now good Film Geekz, I submit to you for your spank bank deposits: Erich's Gorgeous Femmes of 2008

11. Karen Allen as the spunky and adorable Marion Ravenwood in INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL. It's been 27 years since Indy stepped into her Nepalese bar in RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and Marion, I've missed your your sweetly pretty face and your unstoppable sense of adventure that made you the perfect match for me...er... Indiana Jones!

10. Lindsay Hollister as Max's Dancing Partner in GET SMART. Yes, she's plus-sized.

So what? She's cute. Max loved her, I loved her and the audience I saw GET SMART with loved her, too. So, get smart humble readers and film geekz and look around you--there are lots of beautiful women in the world that are not a size zero.

9. Carla Gugino and Malin Akerman as WATCHMEN's crimefighting mother and daughter Sally Jupiter and Laurie Juspeczyk. I know, the movie hasn't come out yet.

But have you seen the trailer and/or any of the behind-the-scenes footage?

Geez-Carla's in garters and Malin's sporting the shortest spandex superhero suit I've ever seen. Who will be watching the WATCHMEN? Assuming 20th Century Fox doesn't shelve the movie in some legal battle hissy fit, I sure as hell will be.

8.Heath Ledger as "Nurse Joker" in THE DARK KNIGHT and Thandi Newton as Condoleezza Rice in W.

Ha ha ha haa. Ho ho ha ho. Ha hee ho haa hee ha ha...and I thought my jokes were bad. HELLO NURSE!!!

7. As Aisha, Golshifteh Farahani played hard-to-get with Leo DiCaprio in BODY OF LIES. Miss Farahani is Persian and I'm including her because she's beautiful and, with all the pro-Iranian war-mongering going on, we still need to remember even "the bad guys" have wonderful and worthy women.

6. Summer Glau as Cameron Phillips in Terminator:The Sarah Conner Chronicles. This lovely and lithe, doe-eyed former ballerina moves with such an easy grace that she makes fragging with extreme prejudice a beautiful, beautiful thing.

Hey Summer, if you want to follow in the footsteps of your T-800 Terminator predecessor and run for public office, give me a call I've got your slogan already:  "Wow! Wow!Vote for Glau!"

5. Cate Blanchett as Irina Spalko in INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL.

Comrade doctor Spalko, with her severe Louise Brooks haircut, icy eyes, razor sharp cheekbones and the grey 1957 era Soviet equivalent of a leisure suit was so unsexy  that, of course, I had to fall for her .

4. Michelle Monaghan in EAGLE EYE.

  EAGLE EYE has three amazing women in it: Rosario Dawson as Air Force Office of Special Investigation Special Agent Zoe Perez-- all business in her military blues, but still, the hottest Fed Agent you'd ever see, newcomer Lindsay Corinn Luecht as the redhead beauty on the elevated train and Monaghan-- with those freckles, that pert little nose, the best philtrum in Hollywood and those sparkling green eyes--all single mothers should look like this.

3. Anne Hathaway GET SMART. Not meaning to brag (except I do), but I got to meet Ms.Hathaway earlier this year at Wondercon (plug plug). When I asked her "Does your agent have some sort of hypnotic ability to convince casting directors that you're the "plain one?" she actually laughed, turned away and said "No, they're just very realistic ...but that's a very, very nice compliment, you're making me blush."

Gee,what's a film geek to do?

2. The winning Katee Sackhoff as Kara "Starbuck" Thrace ! Starbuck was the baddest of the bad-ass Viper pilots, smoking, drinking and fighting her way into our hearts. Starbuck's enthusiasm, wicked smile and killer curves puts this girl punching in as number one in the boxing ring and hitting number two on my list.

1. Pin up goddess Bettie Page died this year at the age of 85. In the 1950s, Bettie was literally the good-girl-next-door that did fetish photos on the side. Whether she frolicked in a leopard print bikini or posed for naughty girl-on-girl paddling pictures, she did it with the sweetest smile you?ll ever see.

She disappeared from the public consciousness until 1982, when comic creator Dave (The Rocketeer) Stevens based Cliff Secord's girlfriend "Betty" on her. Long story short, a Page cottage industry was born and today you can get Bettie Page books, t-shirts, towels and coasters. Beyond the merchandising, Bettie's influence lives on today stronger than Monroe,Mansfield,or anybody since. Every time you see a young woman hanging around a Hot Topic store with raven hair and bangs, you should be thankful for Bettie Page.
