Fucking hot?
Creepy, yes,, but weirdly very, very naughtily sexy?

I am young enough to be his daughter, but I so would.

Come and slap some sense into me or validate my weirdness please or give some insight as to why he is what he is?

Oh, I can empathise Mordirig to my shame.

I have seen him in so many things over the years and knew he was a great actor but seriously, The Blacklist did it for me. Now suddenly I'm even finding the trailers for the US office a bit of a guilty pleasure.

How did this happen?

bubblegoose · 19/03/2014 02:28

Sex, Lies and Videotape ... YES.

Now? Not so much.

MrsTerryPratchett · 19/03/2014 02:31

I read that as "AIBU or is James Spader?". I was waiting to hear what he had done to you. My theory was his cat shat in your garden.

I would, BTW.

RafaellaNhaKyria · 19/03/2014 02:57

Ooh yes he is. If you want to see him at his naughtiest, watch The Secretary Wink

Yonineedaminute · 19/03/2014 04:10

Yes i was also intrigued to find out how James spader had been potentially unreasonable!

HicDraconis · 19/03/2014 04:36

I only saw him as Daniel Jackson in Stargate (when he was probably the same age as I am now) - based on that, YANBU. Had a huge girlie crush :)

EmmaBemma · 19/03/2014 05:14

what? there's nothing weird about fancying James Spader. He's always been quite conventionally hot, unless something drastic has happened in his middle age, that I'm unaware of.

EmmaBemma · 19/03/2014 05:15

OK, just googled. Now I see what you mean! Still would, though.

JGK0 · 19/03/2014 05:21

Was a "bit of a Lad" in "Boston Legal"

Eastpoint · 19/03/2014 05:41

I remember watching Pretty in Pink, Mannequin & Baby Boom back when they came out, he was always a bit too smooth for me. Imdb lists him as having been in Endless Love too. I don't think I've seen him in any of his more recent films. (Old lady who is probably old enough to be your mum).

MrsTripTucker · 19/03/2014 05:55

Yep... I'd do James Spader in a second.
Assuming Connor Trinneer wasn't available.

saintlyjimjams · 19/03/2014 06:22

Yes, since sex lies & videotape. I rarely mention it because I get looked at strangely when I do.

Bohemond · 19/03/2014 06:33

He has been my weird crush for years - ever since he ground a cigarette out on the school stairs wearing his white linen suit (Pretty in Pink)

StillSeekingSpike · 19/03/2014 06:58

I have NEVER got over seeing him in 'Secretary'. Please don't watch it. It ruins you for other men Wink

OnIlkelyMoorBahtat · 19/03/2014 08:34

Yes he is x 100000000000000000000.

Mordirig · 19/03/2014 15:58

Ah I am not alone in my perversion! Grin
Too late I purposely went into town and Interacted with people to purchase Secretary and parks&recreationsseason4 which is the most effort I have made to get some kicks in the last 3 months poorDH

I may be brining the DC and DH bed time forward an hour or so,, don't expect a reply tonight!

Brining?! *bringing Hmm

I like him in his Evil 1980's Evil Prepster guise. His current self leaves my loins unstirred.

piratecat · 19/03/2014 16:06

Sex Lies and VideoTape, I have on VHS, and i discovered my video player in the understairs cupboard this weekend gone.

Match made in heaven!!

TheMaw · 19/03/2014 16:14

Oh I SO WOULD James Spader. I even fancied him in the last series of the Office US.

minouminou · 19/03/2014 16:16

Eww.
And I was made to feel ashamed and weird for my Gus Fring thread.
So I'm weird....and I think YOU'RE weird, OP.
Which makes you well weird, innit.

minouminou · 19/03/2014 16:17

And all you other weirdos who agree with OP.
Weirdos.

bubblegoose · 19/03/2014 16:19

Gus Fring?! No, you're the only weird one here, minouminou!

singleandfabulous · 19/03/2014 16:28

I adore James Spader. I particularly liked him in Boston Legal. His cold, hard stare makes me shiver! It's the coolness combined with intellect that I like, plus the fact that he's quite fair. VERY sexy.
