As if Katie Holmes would date someone like Francis


So come on guys, no girl like Katie Holmes would date or have sex with a guy like Francis/David Krumholtz. He isn't at least a bit attractive.
Any comments?

If you can spit game, it really doesn't matter what you look like.

You think he can spit any game?

reply

If Woody Allen can, he can. There's something to be said about being a comically intellectual Jew. Women fall all over themselves.

Plus, they say in the movie that Francis has banged every girl Tobey ever crushed on.

i completely agree....and i don't know what "spit game" means. some mediocre looking guys can attract girls with personality but this guy had none! that chick had problems anyway.

reply

He has the drugs. That immediately bumps him into the rebel motorcycle outlaw that girls are attracted to. He probably has money too. And, yes, he's probably a real good bullsh!tter. If a guy like Telly (from Kids) can score with chicks, so can this guy.

well her character was a smart girl, but liked to do drugs so maybe she just saw him as a guy to bring drugs and drink with.. I didn't read the book but in the movie at least, it didn't seem like anything sexual had happened between the two of them before Tobey got there.. but why did they cast david krumholtz in that part? they could have got someone at least somewhat believable as the guy who gets laid all the time.. no matter how much game you can "spit" no one gets that lucky that often looking like that..

Maybe it's the syphilis talking, but... some of that made sense.

Ha ha! Wasn't Krumholtz watching a Katie Holmes movie when he played Goldstein on Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle? And he was waiting to see her breasts and screams "Boobs boobs! Oh those are real, are they? Yea they are."

i don't think we're led to believe that she had sex with him. he may have tried, though. the point is that he shoved his way into their date as he always does with girls that tobey's character likes.

but yes, i know what you mean...he didn't exactly look like a stud. although, he's pretty good looking now. a friend and i accidently ran into numb3rs while channel surfing the other say (a new show starring krumholtz), and we both said "who knew he'd turn out to be good looking???"

It was the 70's, folks.

I know. I saw the movie last month and said, "Oh, God, Elephant Man underwent Hollywood surgery!" But then it hit me--Bernard from "The Santa Clause"! He's still not attractive, though, sorry to Davey boy if he ever sees this.
