TGT11: 5 Off My Head - Tube Gratuities

.

Because I haven't made enough work for myself today covering my favorite male nakedness in the movies (not to even mention the other four days of endless excess we've already seen), I felt I really had to give a shout-out to the efforts of their small-screen counterparts this year since TV has become a true hot-bed of beefcakery. I'm not going to list all I could because honestly inside my brain right now is the part where James Brown collapses on stage and they wrap the cape around him, sweat flopping onto the front row, seriously. But I had to give a little bit of love in this direction, because damn! Good stuff. So here's the first five I thought of.



Charlie Cox on Boardwalk Empire - He gets bonus points for making out with Thomas on Downton Abbey, but he doesn't really need the bonus because oh my god I love furry little Charlie so much. See more here and here.

Thomas Jane, Hung - He sent the show off with a bang, i.e. a reveal of a dick so large they couldn't even fit the whole thing in frame. See everything over here and here and here. And bless him for this.

Joe Manganiello, True Blood - All the menfolk give it their all on True Blood but I'm giving Joe the attention this year, because he gave us a good look at that were-rump and yet somehow that scene of him wiggling into jeans was even more eye-popping.

Jake Gyllenhaal, Man Vs. Wild - Hey I didn't get to include him otherwise (he kept it all on in Source Code, the bastard person) and a celebration of gratuity without Jake is no celebration at all. See a bunch here.

Jason Momoa, A Game of Thrones - Another cast full of hot pieces we appreciate (Hey there, lil' Alfie Allen) but Khal Drogo wins the crown this year. Let's hope that Richard Madden and Kit Harington and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau bring it this next season. See more here. 

(And here's where I admit I just realized I forgot to include Momoa's Conan the Barbarian on the list of movie gratuities this year - I told you there'd be ones I forgot! See some shots from that movie here and here. Twas super foolish of me to forget this one. He might have even placed in the top 20 had I remembered him. Sorry, Jason!)

Alright feel free to tell me in the comments about

all the TV dudes I've not named here, I know there are lots.

TGT11: Great Gratuities of 2011, Runners-Up

.

The time has come for the best naked menfolk of the year, according to me. Keep in mind this list (as all of these lists, of course) is highly subjective - although I think a lot of you are here because you find attractive the same gentlemen I tend to find attractive, the logic to the way I had to come up with to organize these guys, from top to bottom (and front to side, and every which way), probably will only make sense to me in the end. So it shall be.

But first up, the also-rans. These are the ones that I managed to remember but missed out on my top twenty. They're all prime obviously, but for the most part they just didn't give up enough this time around to qualify. Sorry, dudes. Please, do better next time! I like it when you try.

As an aside, I've been adding names to this all week so I'm sure there are people I haven't thought of, that slipped my mind, I am only one man and even my encyclopedic knowledge of cinematic bo-hunkery has its limits. And if they slipped my mind at this point I say they must have not done good enough in the first place! So, the runners-up be...

Chris Hemsworth, Thor

Chris Carmack, Shark Night (more here)

Bobby Cannavale, Win Win (more here)

Aaron Johnson, Albert Nobbs (more here)

Dustin Milligan, Shark Night (more here)

Taylor Lautner, Abduction (more here)

Hugh Jackman, Real Steel

Stephen Dorff, Immortals

James Franco, Your Highness

Thomas Jane and Rob Lowe, I Melt With You (more here)

Jon Hamm, Bridesmaids

Today's Fanboy Delusion

Today I'd rather be...

... keeping Thomas Jane well Hung indefinitely.

Will we ever again get a forum for Thomas Jane nakedness to match Hung? Sadly I doubt it. He turns 43 today and while he still looks fantastic, obviously, a show specifically centered upon its leading man's cock is sort of a rare beast and now that it's cancelled I fear the best Tom beefcake is behind us. He can prove me wrong - I would like nothing more than to be proven wrong. He's managed to get his kit off in nearly everything he's done so perhaps I'm underestimating his commitment to displaying the entirety of his delightful personhood. Thomas, you should certainly consider this post explicit encouragement of such a thing! All that aside, I do believe these shots (via) are the last bits of Hung nudity from him that I hadn't gotten around to posting. Cross yourself over them and say a prayer for more in the future. You can click here for all my past posts - there be plenty, good and plenty, to see. Hit the jump for more.

--- Battle of the Bears - Billy Bob Thornton is really spoiling the multiplied sexiness of this news, but he and Thomas Jane and James Marsden have signed on to a movie called Red Machine where it will be them versus a bear! Oh wait, not this kind of a bear? Damn, the news just gets less and less sexy.

--- Mitty Meets Wiig - Hrm, I dunno how much I like this news of Kristen Wiig signing on the be "the girl" in a Ben Stiller comedy. Granted it's a new version of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, a story I've always had affection for, but no doubt he'll dumb it down since that's what he's always doing. (Unless we're speaking about the rare appearance of Greenberg-isn Ben Stiller, which we hope.) Anyway hopefully there's something for Wiig to do here other than be "the girl." She's past that now, ain't she?

--- Tarnished Gold - Ha, I am loving Joe's new Tumblr This Had Oscar Buzz, where he reminds us of the nonsense of Oscar seasons past. Riding in Buzz with HA HA HA HA HA, lol.

--- Sexy and Starving - Jennifer Lawrence (should I quit trying to make "JLaw" happen? her name has so many letters, y'all, I'm already sick of typing it) looks hot on this poster for The Hunger Games, which... well Katniss really shouldn't look this hot. But whatever. Who wants to look at icky starving people anyway? 

--- Giant Tumble - Bryan Singer's Jack the Giant Killer has been pushed like forever away, from June of this year until March of next. People would have been more enthusiastic about the trailer if they hadn't released it like five seconds after the Dark Knight Rises trailer, ya big bunch of dummies. This has had the effect of putting a big question mark around Arthur and Lancelot, that fantasy movie set to star Game of Thrones' sexy depressive Jon Snow aka Kit Harington and that Joel Kinnman person (also sexy, depressive not sure about), which was going to come out on the day where Jack the Giant Killer now is. Since I know they weren't going to make it a gay romance between Kit and Joel, I am less upset about this then I otherwise would've been.

--- Super Junk - These pictures of Henry Cavill at the airport probably don't deserve their own post, but I will link to them at JJ anyway because damn that ass.

--- Wind Under Wings - I love this - there's a screening of classic 80s weepie Beaches happening on January 28th here in NYC being billed as a "Cry Along"! How great is that? I do wish it were a double-bill with Bette Midler's Stella though, because as we all know, I cannot get enough of Stella.

--- Hey Hey Haywire - I wrote up my thoughts on Steven Soderbergh's new movie Haywire earlier this week, and now you can compare and contrast them with my viewing partner Nathaniel in his review at Towleroad. I liked it more, and not only because I don't have a thing against yellow.
