You rotten cocksucker
I liked Aidan. I was rooting for him, as most earthy, vaguely literary types who don't have Mr. Big's money and class were. But John Corbett has really lost it.
I didn't hold My Big Fat Greek Wedding against him because that wasn't, technically, a chick flick, although perhaps it was a chick flick disguised as a fish-out-of-water story.
But then he was in Raising Helen, and thus began his attempts to overtake Matthew McConaughey as the leading chick flick douche bag of his generation. And he's gonna win, too, because normal women know they could never get a McConaughey in real life.
The McConaughey/Hudson pairing of Fool's Gold and How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days is flawed, after all, becuase, while McConaughey is the sexiest man alive, Kate Hudson is not attractive to the opposite sex because she has no boobs.
Nice try
Corbett is also in an upcoming movie called Baby On Board, which is probably a chick flick because all chick flicks are about either weddings or babies. It also stars Jerry O'Connell, so it will probably be terrible, although it also stars Ian Ziering, so it might be awesome.
Regardless, Corbett is a freaking maniac. He's the new spokesman for Applebee's, which is about 10,000 times less cool than Rob Riggle being the spokesman for Budweiser.
Still, that pales in comparison to Corbett's greatest sin, singlehandedly pioneering a new, horrifying genre of music videos -- the chick flick music video.
This one is from someone called Trisha Yearwood, who isn't the kind of person you would want to spend time with.
Rest assured I have not watched this to the end.

First of all, what with the bizarre 10-second explosion of red blood cells behind the words BIG MACHINE on that video?
Secondly, you have finally put into blog form what I have been saying in oral form for years, Kate Hudson isn't hot, or cute, or tempting as a temptress named Penny Lane. The real eye candy in Almost Famous were the other groupies.
Keep preachin', Reverend ParkSlope! (But not in a ruin-Obama's-poll-numbers sense.)
Ben - those are all great points. But, you forgot to consider that he was the Ford spokesman for a while, which really gives him a lot of credibility. I mean, if Fords are good for the American Idols, then they've got to be good for all of America, which must mean he's better than the worst human, right?
Leave Aiden alone. He's still my favorite SITC man - next to David Duchovny, of course. Is DD in any chix flix?
David Duchovny has certainly flirted with the dark side, but he's probably too weird (and too rich) to make the permanent transition to chick flicks. I think Corbett's schilling for Ford is just further evidence that he's a pantywaist, and, finally, if I had to choose between Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn I would probably go the milf route. (Shudder.)
the only aidan that ever counted for anything was aidan quinn in desperately seeking susan--smoldering, tons o chemistry. aidan in SITC sucked--no chemistry between him and sjp, not that that was all his fault. the only one she had chemistry with was Big. you asked if any guys are attracted to hillary. are guys really attracted to sjp/carrie?
Great question, WIWD. I would say that, though Charlotte was the main object of my affections, Carrie was a close second. (Samantha a distant, distant fourth.) Carrie's charms were mainly personality and style driven, though. But, as New York women often demonstrate, that can go a long way.
Ben- great post... But how could you possibly leave out his role as Chris on Northern Exposure for like 5 years??? It's been in syndication on A&E for the past 10 years or so (I know, because I'm a closet NE fan) which would probably explain the current chick flick/music video niche he's developed in his 40's. A poor man's Richard Gere, at best.
Aiden does not float my boat, nor would he win over Matthew McConaughey in any romantic comedy that I watch. And...I watch quite a few!
Is that the reason guys are never down to watch romantic comedies? The girls who star in it are never "HOT"? Sandra Bullock, Kate Hudsen, Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan, Reese Witherspoon...are any of them hot?
You are correct. None of them are hot. Julia Roberts and Meg Ryan are both freaks due to plastic surgery, and Sandra is a bit too retarded for my taste. Reese Witherspoon is hot on paper, and yet....something just doesn't quite gel. (Good run-down of the chick flick leading ladies, by the way, anon.) Yeah, Pack, I haven't seen Northern Exposure in years and can't remember what his character is like. But I think it's a stretch to call him a poor man's Richard Gere. When I think of Gere I think "Cindy Crawford." When I think Corbett I think "That Big Fat Greek Girl."
There's NO WAY that John Corbett is as dumb as I am to read your pathetic little log with a b.
I appreciate your attempt to rattle as much attention as you have for John. Are you on his payroll by chance? Nice work.
Oh snap, my ass is BUSTED. I'm just psyched that all this great publicity I've drummed up for my employer will lead to more quality parts for him. I hear Lee Ann Womack's got an opening -- in more ways than one!
Shut the fuck up John Corbett is so fucking cute. Are you blind bitch? You're probably fat so whatev.
"Northern Exposure" cemented Corbett in hunkdom. So his choices in movie roles is questionable, so what? In real life, he lives with Bo Derek.
John seems like such a sweetie. All you people degrading him are just jealous. He is everything a woman could want!
