Wednesday’s Want, Wed, Waste: Movie Monsters

Hello and welcome to my version of the game, ‘F*@#’, Marry, Kill. This week we are WWW’ing Movie Monsters, more or less. It’s a list of villains, even if they aren’t ‘Monsters’.

Myself and some of my friends are sharing our Want, Wed, and Waste choices from this week’s list:

Sheriff of Noddingham, Michael Myers, Hannibal Lecter, Jabba the Hut, Norman Bates, The Mummy

Me (Alicia Dean). Author of Liberty Divided Isle of Fangs Book 2 ~

WANT: Michael Myers. He’s brooding and sexy. Teenagers get on his nerves as much as they do mine. He’s good with his ‘weapon.’ He doesn’t talk, so there would be no yap, yap, yap afterward. 

WED:  Hannibal Lecter. He’s intelligent, clever, and charming. I think he’d make a great husband, because when he loves a woman, she is his entire focus. Look at how devoted he was to Clarise. Also, it seems like he’s a really good cook.

WASTE: Norman Bates. Skinny little wimp with Mommy issues. And I can’t stand it when a nice, hot shower is interrupted.

WANT:  Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Dark brooding good looks, a wicked sense of humor, and an authentic English accent (unlike Kevin Costner’s pathetically inept Robin Hood) makes Alan Rickman every woman’s medieval dream lover. My favorite scene in the movie is when he threatens to cut out Robin Hood’s heart with a spoon. I never wanted a man more.

WED: Arnold Vosloo in The Mummy

He’s smart, he’s passionate, he’s buff, and he’ll resurrect you from the dead if you happened to get caught cheating on the pharaoh. When he promises happily ever after, he means it. Of course, before regeneration the mummy resembles a festering pile of moldy hospital bandages, but a couple of shots of Febreze should take care of any lingering smell. Until he’s back to his human self I’d keep the lights off in the bedroom and enjoy the tender embrace of a man who would literally go to hell and back for me.  

WASTE: Jabba the Hut in Star Wars

Although a hideous intergalactic sexist slug, Jabba thinks he’s all that and a bag of Ewoks. He freezes his enemies to hang as wall art and forces scantily clad women to dance for his pleasure before feeding them to a monster. I’d love to drop-kick his slimy keister into a giant vat of table salt. I dare him to two-step out of that one before desiccation sets in and he’s turned into something resembling a giant shrunken booger.

********************************************

Kathy L Wheeler, author of  Lies That Bind, Website: http://kathylwheeler.com;

WANT: Alan Rickman is weird but I think I want him. You might end up dead, but you’d be laughing at least.

WED: Michael Myers, if you are going to end up dead, perhaps it would be quick.

WASTE: Norman Bates is just creepy…and skinny

********************************************

Lana Clary, non-author, daughter of Alicia Dean, and a lover of creepy, scary things:

WED– Can my Norman Bates be the Vince Vaughn Norman Bates? Yeah, that’s my Norman Bates. I would TOTALLY wed him. For obvious reasons. And yes, I’d wed him even if he actually WAS Norman Bates in real life. Murder doesn’t scare me.

WANT – If my Norman Bates is Vince Vaughn, and he is, then I would want Michael Myers – no brainer there. I’ve always wanted him. And the only reason I wouldn’t wed him, is because I think there is a larger chance he would snap and murder me with a butcher knife some day, than the chance of Norman snapping. Norman seems like the kind of guy that, as long as you did what he wanted, he’d keep you around. Michael…eh…not so much. He’d be a little quicker to….stab…..you in the back (pun intended). I can’t imagine hot meals on the table, folded laundry, and a clean house every night would make him not kill me, just not the marriage type. I’ve also always thought Michael was extremely sexy – and I bet he’s delightful in bed. Of course, we’d have to leave the mask on. Yum.

WASTE – Oooooh Hannibal Hannibal Hannibal – it pains me to have to waste you. Behind Michael Myers you’re my all time favorite serial killer and I love you so. And of course, Anthony Hopkins, even at his age…..delicious. Accent is yummy, the murderous glint in his eye is hot, and the way he can terrify you to the core with just one comment is a major turn on. There is ONE, simple, frightening reason why I would not be able to make myself marry, or do Hannibal Lecter – he eats people. And I’m not kissing someone who just had liver for dinner 🙂

Now we’d like to hear from you….which of these Hot Messes would you Want, Wed, and Waste?

Thanks for playing!

Wednesday’s Want, Wed, Waste: Rock and Roll Singers

Hello and welcome to my version of the game, ‘F*@#’, Marry, Kill. This week we are WWW’ing Rock and Roll singers from a few years back.

Myself and some of my friends are sharing our Want, Wed, and Waste choices from this week’s list:

Bruce Springsteen, John Cougar Mellencamp, Jon Bon Jovi

********************************************

Me (Alicia Dean). Author of Liberty Divided Isle of Fangs Book 2 ~(Will be FREE on Kindle starting tomorrow, October 24 through October 26)

Want: It would have to be Jon Bon Jovi, he’s sexy and bad-boyish.

Wed:  Springsteen, because I love his music and he’s sexy and I love that he’s from New Jersey…I’ve always been fascinated with that region of the United States (GO RED SOX!!!)

Waste: John Cougar Mellencamp, I like a lot of his songs, but he’s never done anything for me, so he’d have to go.

********************************************

Linda Carroll-Bradd, author of Rekindled Dreams Website:  www.lindacarroll-bradd.com

WANTSpringsteen because he has always portrayed an image of being unattainable.

WED: Bon Jovi because of his sensitivity shown in 1995’s “Moonlight & Valentino”

WASTE: Mellancamp because he always looks wasted.

********************************************

M.J. Schiller, author of Trapped Under Ice. Website:  www.mjschillerauthor.blogspot.com
Want: Mr. Bon Jovi, because I think he would have just the right qualifications for a one night stand, if you catch my ~~~drift. 😉
Wed:  Springsteen, because I’m feeling gold diggery and I think he’d have the bigger bank account.
Waste:  I’m sorry Mr. Cougar, or Mr. Mellancamp, or Mr. Cougar Mellancamp, or whatever your name this week is, you have to go! I’m not a huge fan of his music, and…let’s just say, physically, he’s just not my cup of tea. No offense.

Wednesday’s Want, Wed, Waste: Historical Fictional Characters

Hello and welcome to my version of the game, ‘F*@#’, Marry, Kill. This week we are WWW’ing Historical Fictional Characters.

Myself and some of my friends are sharing our Want, Wed, and Waste choices from this week’s list:

Robin Hood, Sir Lancelot, Zorro

bestcrowe Venezuelan pole dancer Romina Dabbio per

(The Zorro franchise is pretty strict about copyright, so rather than post a pic, I inserted a link to a movie clip) Click here for a ZORRO Movie Clip (Of Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta Jones)

Click on book titles below to learn more and to be taken to a buy link

********************************************

Me (Alicia Dean). Author of Liberty Divided Isle of Fangs Book 2 ~

Want: Zorro, because of all that mystery and danger. And because, in the above-linked scene, he was soooo sexy, it made me wish I was Catherine Zeta Jones! (Or wish that I was Antonio Banderas, she’s pretty hot too ;)) I was going to say I also want him because of how fast he moves, but then I realized that might not be a plus.

Wed:  I guess Sir Lancelot so I could live in a castle. With Robin Hood I would have to live in the woods. And Richard Gere as Sir Lancelot, come on…who could resist that? Although since Lancelot was stealing King Arthur’s woman, he might not be faithful. But on the other hand, I would be ‘Wanting’ Zorro, so I guess I wouldn’t exactly be faithful either.

Waste: Robin Hood, although that probably makes me a bad person since he steals from the rich to give to the poor. But if I was married to Sir Lancelot, I would be rich, so he might steal from me. So yeah, I would have to waste him. But if he looked like Russell Crowe, I would definitely do him first.

********************************************

Jannine Gallant, Author of We’ll Never Tell (Book One in the Secrets of Ravenswood Series) FREE on Kindle!!! Oct. 16-18.  Website: http://www.janninegallant.com/

WANT – Robin Hood. Defender of the downtrodden—and too gorgeous for words. You can haul me off on your horse any day!

WED – Has to be Sir Lancelot. Let’s face it—Guinevere caused him nothing but misery. Lancelot is a tragic character, and he needs the love of a good woman to turn his life around. I’m volunteering!

WASTE – Sorry, Zorro, but you lose. I just can’t be sure what’s behind the mask and cape. The others are a sure thing.

********************************************

Kathy L Wheeler, Author of Quotable Website: http://kathylwheeler.com

Want: Zorro – Antonio Banderas. When he focus his attention on his heroine (me), I am living a character in one of my own books. YUM.

Wed: Robin Hood – I’ll take Russell Crowe as Robin Hood. He’s scary enough to keep the bad guys away.

Waste: Sir Lancelot – I hate to say that Richard Gere is a waste, but compared to the other two… there’s really no choice.

********************************************

Christine Elaine Black, Author of A Rose for Lancaster Blog/Website:  http://christineelaineblack.blogspot.ca/ ~

Want: Zorro, of course. I love a hero who can wear a cape with style and the Latin lover accent is a complete turn on. I don’t mind the mustache or the color black, so all in all he’s a ‘stallion’ in my book.

Wed: Robin Hood. He does the right thing, stands for something legit and is faithful to his lady. He’s used to outdoor living and probably knows how to throw a mean BBQ supper, and there’s always a ready supply of ale. He can steal my heart anytime!

Waste: Lancelot. He’s the least romantic one for me. Other than fall for King Arthur’s wife I don’t recall anything memorable about him except for having the guys over and sitting a ’round’ the table (haha). Sorry, but it’s good ‘knight’ and goodbye for him.

********************************************

Silver James, author of THAT OL’ BLACK MAGIC Website: http://www.silverjames.com ~

Want: Robin Hood. He looks good in tights and he’s good with a bow. That means strong hands and arms. But he has that whole “merry men” thing going on and hanging out with his buds. If the Sheriff of Nottingham came knocking, ol’ Rob would take off to create mischief. But that’s cool. He has a sense of honor and looks out for the poor but I think he’d want to hang with the Merry Men instead of staying home at night.

Wed: Zorro. Oh be still my heart. Sexy, Latin lover who likes to play at being someone else? There’s just something about a man in a mask… His love life would definitely be filled with spicy heat. He has a well-honed sense of duty and honor (are you sensing a theme here? LOL) and I bet he dances a mean tango, which is the dance of love. He might dash off to save someone but he’ll come right home, a rose in his teeth and a look of “I want you” in his eyes.

Waste: Sir Lancelot. Yeah, yeah. Knight of the Round Table, chivalrous and all that, but dude! She was married. So not cool in my book. Especially since her husband was his best friend. I don’t care how gorgeous he looks sitting on a charger, sword in hand, armor all shiny and stuff, it’s what’s on the inside that counts. And even though he sort of tried to redeem himself, it just doesn’t work for me.

********************************************

Darcy Flynn, author of  Keeper of My Heart Website: www.darcyflynnromances.com

Want: Robin Hood! He’s charming, romantic, and a thief with a roguish smile. A short-term adventure with him would be thrilling, but he certainly isn’t marriage material. Plus, I don’t want to live in a forest.

Waste: Sir Lancelot! At one time, I would have loved to marry him, but his affair with Guinevere ruined that dream. Any man, no matter how noble and honorable, if he commits adultery, he’s not the man for me.

Wed: Then there’s the engaging and mysterious Zorro! I want to marry this romantic, well-educated, wealthy and cultured nobleman! To be Mrs. Don Diego by day, all the while knowing his secret. Dressed in black, cape flowing behind him, wielding a sword…what can I say!  *Sigh* Did I mention he’s a superb athlete! 🙂

Wednesday’s Want, Wed, Waste: The Vampire Diaries…Stefan, Damon, Klaus

Hello and welcome to my version of the game, ‘F*@#’, Marry, Kill. This week we are WWW’ing Vampire Diaries hotties…(the roles, not the actors)

Myself and some of my friends are sharing our Want, Wed, and Waste choices from this week’s list:

Stefan Salvatore, Damon Salvatore, Klaus Mikaelson

********************************************

Me (Alicia Dean). Author of What the Heart Wants (Vampire Diaries Book 1) and Divine Enemy (Vampire Diaries Book 2) ~

(This week was not an easy choice, FYI)

Want: Klaus Mikaelson – I LOVE a sexy, hot, evil hybrid with just a smidgen of compassion. When he’s mean, he’s sexy, when he’s tender, he’s sexy. Great character and one of my favorite scenes in the history of the show is when he slaughtered the hybrids on the ‘Oh Holy Night’ episode in season four. LOVED it! Just the right touch to get you in the mood for the holidays.

Wed: Damon Salvatore – I like him better as a bad boy, his tame persona that pants after Elena like a lost puppy isn’t quite as attractive as his former heart-snatching, neck-snapping self, but I would not say no to marrying him. I’m not looking for a husband, but who could turn down Damon Salvatore? Seriously…who? (Yes, Nina dumped Ian, but we’re talking about the character here. I could write an entire post about her moment of insanity). If wer were married, I would make him constantly quote Damon-isms. (Yes, that would work as foreplay.)

Waste: Stefan Salvatore – Sorry, Stefan, I do love you, but you have to go–only because it definitely wouldn’t be the other two. The early Stefan wasn’t all that appealing to me, but since he’s had his bad boy moments, I’ve found him much more attractive (are you sensing a pattern here???).

********************************************

Lana Clary, OBSESSED Vampire Diaries Fan (And also my daughter who introduced me to Vampire Diaries, so she gets an honorary spot) ~

Waste: Stefan. For anyone who knows anything about me, or reads my screen name, this has NOTHING to do with his face, butt, body, sexy anger, adorable tears, hot hopelessness, even sexier vulnerability, deliciousness, and the list goes on. It’s simply because, well, I’m backed into a corner. (the only way I’d REALLY play this game involving these three is if I had a gun to my head…come on)

Want: Damon. For obvious reasons. He is THE hottest man on the planet. I’d do things to him I’m not at liberty to say on social media without getting flagged as “inappropriate”, “spam”, “porn”, or “suspicious activity”. So we’ll just have to leave those things to the imagination.

Wed: Klaus.  Not ONLY would I be entitled and able to do all of the things I mentioned above every day for the rest of my life, but he’d take me places and buy me things. We’d go to different countries, eat fine foods, he could feed me strawberries and champagne in bed, we could kill people who betrayed us with swords and stuff, he has tattoos, he has an accent, Lana Mikaelson has a nice ring to it, he’d call me love and darling, Rebekah would be my sister and we could shop and drink together, Elijah would be my brother (wait…on second thought…not so sure that’s a good idea. Oh well, we’ll work it out), etc. etc. etc. and allllll the while we’d be safe. Because he’s Klaus. Duh.

********************************************

Amanda McCabe/Amanda Carmack, Author of Murder at Hatfield House and The Runaway Countess Websites: http://ammandamccabe.com and http://amandacarmack.com–what

Want: Damon, natch!!  Who wouldn’t want him?  But he might get a little tiresome in the long run–better to have him on perma-booty call…

Wed: Stefan!  Aside from all the personality changes and such, he seems the most reliable in the long run.  For a vampire anyway…

Waste: Klaus.  I do like the accent, but I can’t see him sticking around for the long run–even if he IS the oldest of them all.  Can I put him in the Want category, too???

********************************************

MJ Schiller, author of Trapped Under Ice  Website: www.mjschillerauthor.blogspot.com ~

Want: Damon. Hands down, hottest guy on the show. Those eyes! That crooked smile! Devilish…he’d be fun!

Wed: Stefan, because he would respect my wishes, like he does for Elena. He’s hot, too, so no problem there.

Waste: Sorry, Klaus, I would have to waste you, and not just because you’re the bad guy. I understand the hotness element of Klaus, but…I’m sorry, his lips bother me. They’re almost feminine. And their color is weird, too pink for his pale skin. Although, honestly, I could probably get over it. 

********************************************

Kacey Hammell, author of “A SUNDAY KIND OF LOVE” (Romancing the Stars Anthology) Website: www.kaceyhammell.com

Want: Klaus AND Damon

Wed: Stefan

Waste: NONE

Reasons: – Okay, this is probably the hardest trio for me to have to choose from. Bear with me, I’ll explain …

Want: Damon Salvatore grates on my last nerve. Sometimes he’s all over the place, creator of chaos and just an overall pain in the ass. However, those blue eyes, the looks and deep stares, running around shirtless… have to give it to him, he makes the blood stir. I’d tackle him regularly.

AND

Klaus — the growl in his throat, the purr of that gravelly voice…his bond to family make him irresistible. He’s borderline in the “Wed” category too because of that, but he’d be a bit too “high maintenance” I think for me to handle. But I’d be ready, willing and able to accept him for however long I could handle!

Wed: Stefan: *sigh* the object of my obsession/affection since the beginning. Kinder, gentler, an all-around sweetheart. I absolutely adore him — or adored I should say, his indecisiveness over Elena has finally grated on my last nerve, but I’d totally spend eternity with him. Even explore a bit of his bad boy side.

Waste: None. Just simply not an option. They’re all too “doable” teeehee and warrant the option to hang around for however long they’d like!! *g*

********************************************

Lisa DeVore, author of Beautiful Music (Available Soon from The Wild Rose Press) Follow Lisa on Twitter: @mrsldevore ~

Want:  Damon Salvatore…those eyes!! I love his sense of humor and what girl doesn’t like a little “bad” in her guy?? He’s the fun brother!
 
Wed: Stefan Salvatore. He’s my favorite…caring, kind, and steady (for the most part), and let’s not forget easy to look out. He would be the kind to pamper a girl. Yes, Stefan, would be in it for the long haul.
 
Waste: Klaus Mikaelson. I’m sorry Klaus fans…he just doesn’t do anything for me. He’s too high maintenance and not much fun—all drama.

********************************************

Now we’d like to hear from you….which of these Vampire/Hybrids would you Want, Wed, and Waste?

Wednesday’s Want, Wed, Waste…Musicals/Movies/Theater

Hello and welcome to my version of the game, ‘F*@#’, Marry, Kill. This week we are WWW’ing theater roles for…

Gerard Butler in the 2004 movie version of Phantom of the Opera, Liam Neeson in the 1998 movie version of Les Miserables, and Norbert Leo Butz as Fiyero in the Broadway production of Wicked.

Myself and some of my author friends are sharing our Want, Wed, and Waste choices from this week’s list:

Gerard Butler, Liam Neeson, Norbert Leo Butz

phantom les miserables wicked2

Click on book titles below to learn more and to be taken to a buy link

********************************************

Me, author of Liberty Divided, Isle of Fangs Book 2:

Want: Gerard Butler – He is is SEXY and hottttt!!!! Whether he’s a Phantom, bada$$, killer, or whatever, he’s a definite WANT.

Wed: Liam Neeson – He would probably be a good husband, and he’s kind of sexy too.

Waste: Norbert Leo Butz – He doesn’t do anything for me, although I’m only going by his pic, I’ve never seen him in Wicked. And…his name is NORBERT Leo BUTZ, come on…

********************************************

Diane Burton, author of ONE RED SHOE  Website: www.dianeburton.com ~

Want: Gerard Butler. He’s so hot and he can sing. Wow. He’s dangerous as the Phantom. My fav musical. (Have seen the play 4x)

Wed: I suppose Liam Neeson is all right to Wed, but I would rather have Hugh Jackman. Definitely husband material. Loyal and honest, like Jean Valjean. And what a voice! (Have seen the movie 3x)

Waste: Norbert Leo Butz. Indifferent. Don’t know him. (Never saw Wicked)

********************************************

Nancy Fraser, author of A Very Scandalous Holiday (up for pre-order, release date 10/14/13) Website: www.nancyfraser.ca ~

Want: Gerard Butler. Let’s face it, when this hunky Scot is in shape … who can resist that body! And, I find the fact that he gave up a career as a lawyer for acting to be especially reckless…and sexy!

Wed:  Liam Neeson. It must be the mixed Irish blood in me that makes me think he’d make a great husband. I always admired his love and devotion for his late wife, Natasha Richardson. He exudes protectiveness, mixed with just the right amount of steam!

Waste: Norbert Leo Butz. Besides not being able to get past the name, he’s too short. Fortunately, for the theatre going public, his talent is huge. I wish him well, but he’s just not the guy for me!

********************************************

RoseAnn DeFranco, Author of Return to Audubon Springs  Website: www.radefranco.com

Want: Gerard Butler/Phantom (Movie) – Gerard has a very sexy take on the Phantom.  When he suggests I let my darker side give in, I’m ready to make some music of the night! Phantom is rather mentally unbalanced, so I’d prefer to dabble on the wild side without a commitment.

Wed: Liam Neeson/Jean Valjean (Les Miserables, Movie) – Jaen Valjean is so intrinsically good. He is also known for his super human strength. Liam conveys this strength with authority, and at times a crooked smile which is sexy. What woman wouldn’t want a good strong man rubbing her shoulders, and um, er, other parts every night?

Waste: Norbert Leo Butz/Fiyero in Wicked on Broadway – While adorable, and his powerful tenor hits all my musical sweet spots, there is not a lot of substance to a man who can’t decide between two witches. I’ll pass.

********************************************

Kae Elle Wheeler, Author of The Wronged Princess – Book 1  Website:  http://kathylwheeler.com

Want: Norbert, because he’s young and probably could go for long periods of time.

Wed: Liam because he’s hot and I’d want him forever (and I had to put Norbert somewhere, and he IS cute)

Waste: Gerard Butler? can’t sing. As Phantom? enough said!

********************************************

Linda Carroll-Bradd, author of Capturing The Marshal’s Heart Website: www.lindacarroll-bradd.com

Want: Phantom because even if he is a stalker, he truly cares

Wed: Jean Valjean because I’ve just love a man with a burning goal and determination

Waste: Fiyero because his loyalty is murky and I couldn’t connect

********************************************

Now we’d like to hear from you….which of these characters/actors would you Want, Wed, and Waste?

Thanks for playing!
