Great poll idea.
Aphex > Franzen > Kelis > Hislop > MIA > Gyllenhaal > Godard > Taylor Swift >>>> Hitchens >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tyson.
Godard is low because I've never seen one of his films but I don't actively dislike him either.

Actually maybe swap Hislop and Gyllenhaal arround.

kelis obv also pretty great
one vote for Franzen cos he won my poll

Wd go to the pub with Aphex for an hour of wacky stunts and then retreat to the other bar with Ian Hislop where we can go "ok, that guy is a bit much, right?" and grouse abt all facets of British politics for a few hours, with me going home if he really is as Tory as everyone else says
(nah, have to vote Aphex for sheer impact on Where I Am Today - ok, What My Record Collection Is Today - and extended and concentrated bursts of awesomeness; enjoying a little more distance meaning I can enjoy the dude without feeling like I am also subscribing to all his weak imitators and offputting fan-nutter communities. though I did, at the time, and don't entirely recant)
― atoms breaking heart (a passing spacecadet), Friday, 28 May 2010 11:07 (fourteen years ago) link
Could never, ever go to pub with Aphex. Not even for the weirdo fan hysteria but because I wouldn't trust myself to not spend the entire time going "can I lick you?" every 30 seconds "No, really, can I lick you, I want to see if you taste of gingerbread" and he calls the cops like two minutes later. :-( OK that is the very definition of weirdo fan hysteria I guess.
(Actually not true at all. I would do the same thing I always do when confronted with persons I really really idolise, i.e. sit there in silence glaring at them and occasionally snapping at them and contradicting them voiciferously only to silence myself forcibly until they are left with the distinct impression "I thought Kate was a fan, she acts like she really really doesn't like me!" not that this has ever happened to me before oh no never ever ever...)

Aphex would be awesome fun in the pub, Gyllenhaal and Franzen would probably be okay to bro down with as well. Would totally go drinking with Kelis and you know Hislop would have amazing gossip.

jean luc godard - Never seen his movies, plus he's not Robert H. Goddard.mike tyson - Good memories of Mike Tyson's punchout. Remember where I was the night he bit dude's ear off.aphex twin - Mostly really good.jonathan franzen - Hate novels about college professors who have affairs with students.mia - Like her novelty songs.ian hislop - Never heard of himkelis - Only knew that one song.jake gyllenhaal - His sister gets the first google result for a reason, plus he looks like a damned puppy dog these days.christopher hitchens - Haven't experienced him much but he seems like a blowhard.taylor swift - The next FLEETWOOD FUCKING MAC as far as I'm concerned.

Hitch! The fuss around Hitch-22 is brightening my days at the mo. Will be standing in WH Smiths at lunch to read Eagleton's slag of it.
Runners up, for making things I've enjoyed - Godard > RDJ > Kelis.
Socially, Franzen I could manage book chat with, but I think I'd ask him something stupid (Possibilities i.'cmon you must The Corrections is a little bit overrated'; ii. 'Do many people get you mixed up with Lethem and/or Chabon?') and it would get awkward

But if it's that awful horrible over-pecced Hollywood buffness that afflicted attractive men like, say, Hugh Jackman, then I'm not having it. There's nicely toned and then there's that "can't... put... his... arms... down..." look that male movies stars get when they acquire personal trainers which is SO not hott.
