no boys allowed in the room!!!!

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lIwUKNoncq8/T0rp5tqUWmI/AAAAAAAAAFo/jYLIBM0SP_k/s1600/mulder.jpg, why won't you love me?

Similarly, at my current age I'm a little creeped out by the babyish, wounded/vulnerable-looking faces of our old crush objects pictured above. Amazing how young Ewan McG looks. Kinda...victimy though? I'm torn between their obvious smashability and...them looking like they've already been smashed. :(

Oh, that guy is a porn star?

Oh I had a huge crush on Ralph Fiennes at one point.

babes

YES! Both of them.

Man, River was so amazingly beautiful. Does he have a different dad to the other Pheonix kids? I've always wondered because they all look so much alike and nothing like him.

They do all look so young. And at the time, to me, they were all so old!

tbf, ewan was playing a heroin addict in that movie. i remember him as being kind of hearty in comparison to some of the 90s waifs i lusted after, but maybe that was only relative.

i know i'm supposed to hate him, but i also thought damon albarn was the hottest.

I'm trying to think of who my teen crushes were and I'm blanking! I know when I was a pre-teen, I was all about Joe Elliot and Rick Savage from Def Leppard... Oh wait! I've got one.

also, stephen malkmus. but i'm having a hard time finding 90s pictures of him online.

Oh wait, and Matthew Broderick c. War Games. And Wyatt but NOT Gary from Weird Science. And Val Kilmer from real Genius.

Oh oh oh Eric Stoltz c. Some Kind of Wonderful. Geez, how could I forget that one. I actually specifically remember telling somebody that he was my favorite actor at some point in the 80s.

yeah, eric stolz was preternaturally beautiful in that movie. tbh i was never into him, for that reason. there was something eerie about his face. still is.

tbh I didn't have crushes on any of the actual actors. I had crushes on their characters, and I translated those into crushes on the actors (hence Eric Stoltz as my stated favorite actor) because I thought that was a little more normal. But mostly I liked cute boys playing smart weirdos in movies (and also Jason Patric in the Lost Boys because come on, look at that guy).

As far as musicians go, Robert Smith, (young) Robert Plant, Chrissy Hynde, and in keeping with my affinity for smart weirdos, Mike Mills from REM.

Some Kind of Wonderful: Keith v. Duncan

eyebrows on the left there will haunt me til the end of days, wow

xp me OTM in that thread

i liked this guy a lot but i can't think of any other actors

i was obsessed with the face of marty willson piper, but only had a couple of pictures of him to go on and they were all basically half hair.

in the preinternet era we sure were starved for pictures

I didn't know who any of these people were when I was an adolescent/teen (I still don't know who half of these photos are of). When I was VERY young, though, I had a desperate infatuation with this guy:

Otherwise all my crushes were on real people. I kept all of them as secret as possible and never told the boys in question, although I couldn't stop myself from talking about them to others, so I'm sure everyone actually knew. I still remember all of their faces and most of their names.

well of course
except i occasionally told the boy in question and it NEVER EVER ENDED WELL. not even once.

Nope.

btw that kid looks like a shrunken adrian zmed!

my broken picture up there was of keanu reeves + river phoenix in my own private idaho, in the interest of completism

I had to look up who Adrian Zmed is, but that guy's face otm.

esp keanu in river's edge

hubba

I can support that.

I've only ever liked brooding wise guys, I guess. This preference is probably not serving me that well in my adult life.

also esai morales in la bamba, the violent drunken aspiring cartoonist with a heart of gold

that was more middle school though

I harbored a little crush on Lou Diamond Philips for a while. Weird.

River's Edge Keanu OTM

The Monster Squad kid looks like a younger version of Jacob the Shirtless Twilight Werewolf whose real name I cannot remember.

Taylor Lautner or something like that I think.

Why did I know that? I've never even seen any of the movies. Weird.

http://gossip-juice.com/images/2011/Taylor-lautner.jpg

Yeah, Taylor Lautner. I should know because I've seen all the damn movies.

FFM, i srsly was so close to posting about james deen in this thread last night

Whenever I think of Adrian Zmed I picture him with a shirtless, with a bandana around his head, playing the saxophone. ???

roxy: I was too busy ;) seriously though I'm in love and my husband is away and I am going to show him some videos ASAP, he will be so excited to see me finally get into this haha

Carl: I read that as banana and thought 'that is VERY specific'!

It's still pretty specific, just not as bizarre.

Maybe you need to see him, err, in action.

this is making me want to watch river's edge reeeeeal bad

xp <3 omfg
it doesn't hurt that he looks like a guy I took home for a one-night stand just out of high school. Turned out he was a virgin, but he didn't tell me at the time. He ALSO had a 2 year girlfriend who had dumped him (but didn't intend for him to go out and find me..) and that was big drama. but seriously, I'll take all the skinny brown haired boys thanks.

that's him E! apparently he does porn parodies too, I have yet to see any of this.
