Some people are just natutrally cooler than others.
These people never have to be wearing the most fashionable thing they can find, or have the top-selling record, or Hollywood movie.
But nevertheless, whenever you see them, they ALWAYS seem incredibly "cool".

Some people who OOOZE cool.

Morgan Freeman.
Lemmy Kilminster.
Liam Neeson.
Willie Nelson.'
John Stewart.
George Clinton.

Thats my list...whats yours?

Who are some of the "coolest" people you can think of?

Tommy Lee Jones
Samuel L. Jackson
Jack Nicholson

That's all I have right now.

A thread about celebrities? Really?

Chuck Norris

Tommy Lee Jones
Samuel L. Jackson
Jack Nicholson

That's all I have right now.


All three of these are fine additions to any "cool" list.

Chuck Norris

Can this shit DIE already? Please?

A thread about celebrities? Really?


Only the ones remarkable for thier "coolness".

Like James Dean, perhaps.

Can this shit DIE already? Please?
Well, Chuck Norris is now like 1337. It is only used because it is so increadibly lame.

Ricky Gervais

Chuck Norris
Vin Diesel
Mr.T

Chazz Palminteri.

Owen Wilson
Christina Ricci

I'd hang out with them.

The chick & the evil guy from The 5th Element.

Christina Ricci
Bulimia ain't cool. Shows you care too much.

Chazz Palminteri.



OOOOOOH!

Good Choice!

That guy's got frikin ice-water in his nutsack, hes so cool.

Hows about:

Danny Trejo

my favorite "THAT GUY!".

Ozzy Osbourne.

George Clinton.

Michael Jordan.

Bulimia ain't cool. Shows you care too much.

Meh ... an actress with bulimia is so blase ... but I'd hold her hair for her while she purged. Then I'd make her eat again just to watch her purge again so I could make her eat again.

Now *that* would be cool.

Ozzy Osbourne.

George Clinton.

Michael Jordan.



I considered Ozzy, I really did.

<-----Huge Black Sabbath fan, ya see...

However, what with seeing the Ozzman dottering so rapidly, and the use of "Ghost Singers"....and the fact that my dear Wizard of Ozz may have once been all that and more, I just feel hes a little to old to be going about calling himself "The Prince of Darkness."

Thus, while very cool, even as of recently...
Ozzy doesnt EXUDE cool like say his good friend Lemmy Kilminster of Motorhead does.

Chuck NorrisCan this shit DIE already? Please?

Yeah. The Chuck Norris meme dies here.

So, forcing her to eat an entire chocolate cake and then screaming "YOU BIG FAT, FATTY FAT-FATTY WHORE!", would be wrong?

Yuri Gellar ftw!

Maybe ... but it sure would be awesome.

Brad Pitt
Kevin Spacey

Johnny Depp
Johnny Cash
Bob Dylan

the depp man *melts*

the depp man *melts*

Exactly.

Tom Waits.

Clint Eastwood.

William S. Burroughs.

Ricci used to be cool, now her head is too big.

Ricci used to be cool, now her head is too big.

yeah, shame it was the only thing that kept growing.....

Jazz musicians are, of course, the coolest people on the planet. But watch something like A Great Day in Harlem, about a meeting of dozens of jazz musicians for a photograph-when Thelonious Monk shows up everyone murmurs, making Monk the coolest cat of the coolest cat on the planet. So cool the Fonz looks like Ralph Mouth.

And I'll echo William S. Burroughs mentioned by someone else earlier. Because.

That Coolaid guy. Oozing in this heat anyways.

how can we consider any famous person the epitome of cool unless we know them outside of their public life?

yes, morgan freeman appears to be the coolest man on earth. but he is an actor and that may only be his public persona. in his everyday life he may be painfully shy or painfully dickish. there is no way to know.

its not cool if is only for pretend.

stephen colbert :fluffle:

Billy Bob Thornton

Ricci used to be cool, now her head is too big.

maybe her body is too small

or did you mean ego?

:p

Brad Pitt, especially his Fight Club character.

Sarah Silverman
The Fonz, but not Henry Winkler
Seth MacFarlane


I really don't know that many famous people that are that cool.
Samuel L Jackson, Tommy Lee Jones, and Morgan Freeman are on the list by default.

There's nothing cool about selling out your art for fashionista status and a big house in LA. Let's get real--maybe talk about some REAL artists who are REALLY cool. But then, no one really knows who they are...

:rolleyes:

I've always based the cool factor on how interested I am in their interviews. Paul Bettany has a very dry sense of humor that I adore and Tom Hanks is very intelligent.

:rolleyes:
or accept that perhaps some famous people and pop culture things are actually perfectly good art?
But no, that would require getting off the "elitist" pedistal.

Nicolas Cage
David Carradine
Harrison Ford
Redd Foxx
Ryan Reynolds
Dane Cook


and of course me

Samuel L. Jackson
Owen Wilson
Steve Jobs
David Ortiz
Adam Sandler


Hmm, that's about all I can think of for now

Bill Murray
Bill Murray is cool.

Lawrence Fishburn is hella cool.

Jack Nicholson, Anthony Hopkins, Clint Eastwood, Benecio del Toro, ANgelina Jolie, Oympia Dukakis.



All on my very cool famous people list.

He may no longer be with us, but I'm sure in his day Ben Franklin was the epitome of cool.

Let's count...Inventor, philosopher, diplomat, writer, traveler, founding father, and let us not forget, ladies man...

With that said, Voltaire was pretty damn cool too.

the last time I head the word Hella I was still watching south park

Strangely enough, I don't think that I have seen Sean Connery on anyone's list yet. I'll also mention Samuel Jackson, just in case he hasn't been mentioned.

Michael Madsen
Christopher Walken

Those two are cool.

Kate Beckinsale isn't really cool, but reading about her life and some random quotes from her, I think she'd be fun to hang out with.

Well, Steve McQueen is the cliche answer, but I can't think of anyone outdoing McQueen.. I can't imagine Brad Pitt doing his own stunts on a movie like McQueen did many times. Movie stars nowadays have that shiny blow-dried look anyway.. stars like McQueen looked like someone you could walk into at a bar or someplace.

Others from that era:

Warren Oates
Paul Newman
Lee Marvin
Clint (already mentioned)
William Holden (sometimes)
Robert Mitchum

Excellent friggin' post. *bows*

Owen Wilson

I'd hang out with them.
Uh I love Owen Wilson...during 11th grade people at school used to call me Owen, haha!

Rush

You're one of his Viagra or oxycontin contacts, right?

Your threads might not. I've noticed an upswing on crackin' down on spam.
Not to say your threads ARE spam, so much as ... well, you know. :)

Haha...I cant tell if that was a compliment or an insult.:p

But no, that would require getting off the "elitist" pedistal.

No, I'm perfectly happy to admit it, and not on an elitist pedestal (after all, you have no idea who I am, do you? I could BE one of these people for all you know, eh?).

But I AM sick of the hero worship cult that has created a society that doesn't really make much that is new or meaningful anymore. Everyone wants to be like the cool actors they see on screen, and be in the cool movies that have already been made half a million times, and a large number of them are not saying anything significant, meaningful, or new, and the public gobbles up the tripe and knows little to nothing about the substance. We worship people we don't even know because of the face they put on on screen, many of which--even most of which--got there because they had an angle, a lot of money, the hottest body in their acting class, or a slimy agent, not because they are excellent artists. And every single one of the people mentioned so far has done something because they knew it would make them money, not because it moved their artistic soul. Sellout. I'd like to see some of these folks actually go back to live theater and say something with their art. They could do it if they wanted to...

In other words, why talk about famous people that ooze cool? There are far more non-famous people who ALSO* ooze cool, and who people should broaden their minds to know better. That's all.

Sheesh... defensive.
:p

*Note ALSO, not ALONE.

Oh, dont hate...your just part of the liberal left that muff dive on Hillary as religion.:p

Haha...I cant tell if that was a compliment or an insult.:p
Reminds me of Futurama.
When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
:D
Oh, given the shimmer of said hair, i'd say it took the compliment quite nicely.

Oh, dont hate...your just part of the liberal left that muff dive on Hillary as religion.:p
Hillary Muff isn't a liberal, btw.
She's done concerts at Repub fundraisers.

Tom Selleck is cool just because he doesn't care if people think he's cool or not.

sorry about the bitter comment. It tends to happen from time to time, seeing as I come on here usually when I'm too busy to actually do so. My appologies.:fluffle:


I vote for Johnny Depp. And Brad Pitt. There are some others, but I'm way too hot to think right now.

Oh, and Geoffrey Rush is an amazing actor who doesn't get nearly enough credit.

Reminds me of Futurama.

:D

And I cant help it if I have Greek-God-Hair.:p

Hillary Muff isnt what I was talking about, hahaha.

I was talking about Hillary Clinton..MUFF DIVING..means licking the Vagina. :D

Hillary Muff isnt what I was talking about, hahaha.Well, it sounded more interesting than talking about Clinton.

I was talking about Hillary Clinton..MUFF DIVING..means licking the Vagina. :DWhat? :confused:
Are you offering to lick the former president out of the future president?

No one's said Miles Davis yet?

Steve Tobin :eek:

I wish I'd lived in Franklin's generation. He was The Man.

Frank.. who?

Ben Franklin who liked older women because, as he said, "they don't yell, they don't swell, and they're grateful as Hell."

If anyone defines cool in the American sense, it would be him.

No one's said Miles Davis yet?
No, but I did say Theloniuos Monk...

I agree.

Heh, I was at his house in Philly, I win.

:D

None of them.
The ones that seem cool are just putting on a mask to hide their stress-filled and angst-ridden lifestyles.

haha...no way tonight. I'm dying right now, just waiting for my AC to kick in before I crash.

Yes indeed.
I have some unusual Travel stories.
Also - the very popular one is likely to be people bitching about work.
I want the travel one more though - at least, at this particular time.

Also, i was thinking, perhaps a little emo-ish, favourite pets & quirks.

These people aren't cool. They're pop tarts.

Samuel L Jackson

And every single one of the people mentioned so far has done something because they knew it would make them money, not because it moved their artistic soul. Sellout. I'd like to see some of these folks actually go back to live theater and say something with their art. They could do it if they wanted to...
And just how do you claim to know that? What, you've interviewed everyone mentioned here and determined that money was their sole motivation? I swear, the word "sellout" IMMEDIATELY identifies some wannabe culture snob who at one time liked the "sellout" in question, and when they do something that garners commercial success, suddenly, as if by magic, they're no longer any good.

All artists go through phases, son. One of them is sometimes popularity. Hell, a prime example is Queen Latifah. She raps to make money but is actually a phenomenal jazz singer. Is that selling out? If it is, it allows her to pursue her true passion, and I say good for her.

People like you who cry "sellout" really have no idea what you're talking about.

Oh, dont hate...your just part of the liberal left that muff dive on Hillary as religion.:p
