Cool is attitude

Cool is very uncool these days.

Lee Marvin was a bit of a cool ba$tard.

Is coolness strictly a macho thing or can women be cool too?

Sigourney Weaver.

Very chilled out, smart, attractive & probably the first woman who i ever seen on tv(Aliens films) & thought wow she's cool.

Jimmy Page - Always seemed mysteriously cool, hid behind his hair and les paul

Humphrey Bogart, not afraid to give a lad a smack in the chops if they mistreated a lady.

I agree 100% after the first 40 odd posts I was about to mention him, I'm glad someone here has some class for the coolest man in movie history!

Any man whose last words are in reference and reverance to alcohol has my vote any day!

Why do you say Matt Damon is a tosser, is it because that's a cool thing to say?

Tosser=uncool get it? Now run along sonny.

Johnny Depp
Bruce Springsteen
Morgan Freeman
Daniel Day Lewis
James Earl Jones (pretty much just cos of his voice!)
Alan Rickman
Jeremy Irons

And in the interests of gender balance:
Tina Fey
Zooey Deschanel
Gwen Stefani
Meryl Streep
Judy Dench
Helen Mirren
Leslie Feist

Oh and I think Heath Ledger would've been pretty cool.

Matt Damon is rather cool.

As is Ben affleck and jimmy kimmell.

Remmy · 11-09-2010 07:43PM

Jean Reno.From the movies Leon and Ronin.exudes cool from every pore.

Also Al Pacino.He was in so many good movies but godfather1 and the scent of a woman are his best I think.

Coriolanus · 11-09-2010 07:50PM

Benicio del Toro.
Fcked up squinty face, can't speak English for sht but he's cool.

I agree with Matt Damon.

Ben Affleck is about as far from cool as you get. There is actually nothing about him that is simply cool in the way the greats were. He's not a good actor. The only thing he has on his side is that he's good looking. That doesn't make him cool.

DOC09UNAM · 11-09-2010 07:56PM

What does being a good actor have to do with being cool?

He's been in a few good movies, doesn't take himself seriously, and is up for the craic.

He is a cool dude.

Jim Morrison was not cool, he was a pretentious bell-end.

But I concur with Bowie.

"Morrison's a drunken buffoon masquerading as a poet!"

Robert Downey Jnr is cool in everything, come on what red blooded male wouldnt want to be Tony Stark?

Why? He's right, Affleck has made some pretty good movies, aswell as the shít ones, gigli, payback, pearl harbour.

But in it's place, it has gone baby gone, hollywoodland, and dogma.

MightyMighty737 · 12-09-2010 02:54AM

Dicky ****ing Barrett is beyond cool.

As for someone people will know; Joe Strummer and Paul Simonon have got to be up there. Two different types of cool, but cool nonetheless.

There is nothing at all cool about Ben Affleck. I can't think of anything really. Not that he's a bad person or anything, but he's just not in the league of the truely cool.

The Rat Pack, Robert Downey Junior, Christopher Walkin.

They are all interesting people, have traits that make them inherently cool.

Affleck, is more a normal guy who happens to be in movies. Nothing remarkable about him. He's average. Does nothing to stand out from the crowd really.

The Rat Pack were inherently cool for what they stood for, having fun, doing fine women, and drinking like there's no tomorrow, they were just generally cool.

Robert Downey Junior has his on again-off again love affair with every drug known to man, along with being a wise-cracking guy who could charm the pants off a nun, and probably has.

Christopher Walkin, by virtue of having his voice and his ice cold demeanor is absolutely cool.

Affleck, while he seems like he is probably a nice guy, is just far too regular to be included in a thread on cool people where attitude counts for everything.

He has Irish and Scottish roots, distant cousin of matt damon, came first in the california state poker championships pocketing 365k, worked as a mechanic, a janitor and a bartender, his wife is jennifer garner and he Disagrees with george bush.

He qualifies for a cool dude.

None of that makes him cool in the way this thread describes. When cool is all about attitude, he just doesn't fit. And Jennifer Garner is annoying as fcuk! I don't disagree that he's quite an honourable fellow, but NOT cool.

Now Oscar Wilde, he is one of the coolest men ever, and definitely hands down the coolest gay man. He was actually charged and imprisoned for Sodomy of all things, was known to throw parties that put people these days to shame, and did it all not caring what people think. A hedon, with a flair for the eccentric. Now THAT is cool!

What does being gay have to do with it?

Also, the thread is about being effortlessly cool.

How does a man being a hedon, with a flair for the eccentric, make him "effortlessly cool"

It took Wilde no effort to act how he did, because it wasn't an act, it was him, therefore effortless. Gay has nothing to do with being cool, unless you are gay enough in a time that it is condemned and illegal that you actually get tried for being gay! I think Wilde is without reproach on being awesome.

Affleck though, is not that cool, yeah nice guy and whatever, but he is a pretty regular guy really.

Cool is attitude
