Daniel Day-Lewis is a pretty kick ass actor.

I haven't seen The Last of the Mohicans (LotM) since before the coming LotM reference was applicable. But I can not believe how different Daniel Day-Lewis looks in LotM, Gangs of New York, and There Will Be Blood. It's like the shape of his head changes and he looks like a completely different person.
This got John and I talking about how a friend of a friend tried to get a girl to make out with him by watching LotM, which (as it often does) got us talking about things that are frankly beyond our cognitive capacity. John and I came to the agreement that the friend should have just gone for it because when a situation like that occurs the girl is basically giving the green light for the makeout session. It's obvious that she doesn't want to watch the movie, it's just a guise to get on the couch. C'mon, we know from experience. Now, this realization has certain implications for both men and women. For guys, every time a girl is on your couch all you're going to see is the mental image of Chuck Norris giving you the thumbs up and whispering "Go for it." For girls... I obviously don't know anything about what you're thinking, but you can no longer expect to just watch a movie. Sorry ladies, things are about to either get very awkward or very sexy.
So in order to bring this post full circle I ask this question: Is Daniel Day-Lewis a good enough actor to get a dude laid? I vote yes.

Deal sealer from LotM. Enjoy.

Rick Astley is a deal-sealer.

Though John has a point, I vote maybe on DDL. I had en English teacher(female) in HS that had an insanely huge crush DDL. We had to watch LoTM in class and write an essay about the cultural implications. On the other hand I had a junior high English teacher (male) who played darts on Tuesday nights. We also had to watch LoTM and write an essay on our favourite violent scene. Not sure what the point was of either, but it gets no less weird as years pass.
