Sure, sure it does. When you’re reading a book and this character who is a total asshole, or who does horrible things, and you think “I’d like to get into his/her pants” instead of thinking “I would like to see the good moral character kill him/her.” When you’re watching a movie and instead of frowning on the actions of the agonist, you find yourself reaching for the zipper on your jeans…
This doesn’t really work for real-life people, it’s more of an entertainment geared one. Characters who are pure evil, just misunderstood, or plain strange…
Let me give a few examples of people I have found to be sexy.
Jack Torrance, The Shining.
Randall Flagg, The Stand.
Norman Bates, PSYCHO.
Francis Dolarhyde, Red Dragon.
Daryl Van Horn, Witches of Eastwick.
Lestat, Interview w/ the Vampire (…I was never really into the whole series though)
Anthony Perkins who played said character in the movie was a hottie, though…come on…he was sooo fine. Ahh…
Yeah in the Stand, Flagg was fine. Way way WAY sexier than Stu and Louis.
Nope, never went for the evil/bad guy. Didn’t particularly go for the goody-two-shoes type hero either, though (sometimes, not all the time). I like the Han Solo, Indiana Jones, John McClane, Martin Riggs type protagonist. Or the irreverent funny guy.
On the other hand, Jamey Sheridan in The Stand would still be one of my picks, because I liked him beforehand from the TV series Shannon’s Law. Who’s Louis, though?

on a side note (read… "and now for something COMPLETELY different) Marlon Brando also played Mark Antony in the B/W version of the Tragedy of Julius Caesar
thought I’d share

Well I’ve never seen the movie but Lestat has always had an appeal to me. Just all that confidence even when he is doing something completely evil was something I loved. He just seems oh so yummy and so damn sexy.
I don’t suppose I can say that all girls are evil yet I find them irresistable, can I? No? Oh well, I guess I’ll have to settle for Faith from BVS (that scene where she raped Xander, I know it’s wrong but I wished I could’ve been in his place), Salma Hayek in From Dusk Til Dawn, and, because Zoggie said I could, Max (short for Maxine?) from Dark Angel.
Never? Well. I guess you can already tell that i have embraced the dark side. Un peu, at least.
Louis…that’s the guy, the one who wrote/sang the song Baby Can You Dig Your Man, and met Rita, and then had that whole problem with Nadine. He was one of the “good” guys- he, Stu, Ralph, Glenn (and Kojack) marched out to Las Vegas to do battle with Flagg.
Is it just me, or does it seem like vampires seem to get a lot of play?
From a favorite (bad) movie of mine, a girl talking to a vamp:
“I thought vampires didn’t do sex.”
“A popular misconception - with a good commercial lubricant, we can go for days.”
