Last night we watched National Treasure on DVD, and I have a new crush: Justin Bartha, who plays Nicolas Cage’s nerdy, quippy sidekick. He’s especially cute in glasses. I’d never heard of or seen him before, but I’m going to have to keep an eye out for him in the future.
Oh yeah – the movie was better than I expected, a very entertaining popcorn flick, even if it strained credulity many times over.
[Update: turns out Justin Bartha stars in a new NBC sitcom, Teachers, which just began airing last week.]
Popcorn Flick?
Typical liberal! Trivializing the excellence of a great patriotic film!
Bartha was also in Gigli. Poor kid.
Ah yes, the other night I watched the premiere of Teachers, mainly to check out Justin Bartha, who caught my eye in the NBC teasers for the show. (I don’t think I’ll keep up with the show; we’ll see.) He’s definitely a cutie.
Okay, I’m going to be honest with you. I’m straight and I thought, as guys go, he was pretty cute. That probably doesn’t mean much though, because I’ve said the same of Donald Rumsfeld.
Uh oh, I have to eat crow. I know earlier in our email exchange I said he wasn’t that cute. (Little Cicero: DONALD RUMSFELD?!?!?!? There are some things you just shouldn’t admit.) Anyway, from the pic you linked to, I didn’t recognize him as the guy from National Treasure. But now that I think about it, back in May 2005 in my “review” of the movie I did, in fact, describe him as “hot computer geek Riley”.
So, I take it back. Yes. Hot. Very.
Wait, LC, you also called this a great patriotic film? Your cowboy hat must be on too tight.
Saw Justin Bartha at the NBC Experience the other day promoting his new show. Hes that much cuter in person. I happened to have walked by the store. Didnt go just because he was there.
This WAS a great movie, if you judge greatness by how entertaining a movie it. It was VERY entertaining.
