Beauty Vs Beast: The Boy-Men Next Door
JA from MNPP here - judging by the box office receipts a few of you joined me this weekend in going to see the first big comedy of the Summer of 2014, Neighbors, which had dumb beauty Zac Efron face off against the comparatively beastly Seth Rogen. ("Beastly" is not necessarily a pejorative here, especially judging by the hearty pro-Rogen contingent that showed up when I "Do Dump Marry"'d these two alongside co-star Dave Franco over at my site last week.) Enough of us showed to bounce a superhero sequel in just its second week, at that! So since it's the hot topic this Monday morning (and Zac finally has a post-adolescent hit on him) it only seems right to devote this week's "Beauty Vs. Beast" to the boy-men at its surprisingly gooey center...
You've got til next Sunday to spank out your case in the comments, so have at it.
PREVIOUSLY ON
Last week we stepped into the ring with a tune on our lips thanks to the Broadway version of Rocky and asked you who KO'd who, and finally coming out with the championship this time was the titular Italian Stallion himself, with just under 60% of the vote. I think some of those votes might've been less than Stallone-inspired though, and might've had more to do with the Tony-nominated lead of the stage show; as John T put it...

I totallly see that Zac is fit and attractive,but Seth's HAIRY CHEST IS LUSH.
can i choose "neither" this week? Hmmm. i mean obviously there are reasons to choose either but i'm still torn. also for reasons.
Be brave go for Seth.
Seth Rogen looks like my brother. My vote is for Efron.
I'll never get the Zac Efron thing. Well, I guess I get it. But not really.
But I really don't get the Seth Rogan thing. Nu-uh.
So Mac says he loves the Kevin Conroy Batman?
Seth Rogen for me. I actually find him very attractive. Efron doesn't do it for me.
For me, Efron is nothing but a Ken doll...whereas Rogen is a real, cuddly man.
Volvagia -- lol. He's a Keaton man, actually. but their gravel-off Batman voice fight is a pretty good moment in the movie.
Just checked it out and: Keaton? Really? Not bad (certainly better than Bale in the suit, even though he's worse out of it and is not really expected to DO a lot acting wise outside of his first movie), but not THE BEST. Conroy is the nuclear bomb, final option, no arguments BEST Batman, regardless of medium.
BZZZT wrong answer Michael Keaton's Batman the end.
3rtful, could I have your brother's phone number? Totally Team Rogen!!!
The movie was silly fun, too. Dude.
Efron reminds me of those self-absorbed, douchey guys on Grindr and Scruff that see other people as nothing more than masturbatory instruments. Meanwhile Rogen is probably someone who's cultivated superior bedroom skills to compensate for his lack of good looks. So...I'll go with Rogen.
Deep down, I'm superficial. Call me Ready for Teddy.
Lol that was so true, I vote Rocky because of the sexy broadway actor
And is this even a question? Efron of course, and I don't evem like him as a human being.
considering they're barely the same species, this is a much closer result than i imagined
My heart is saying Seth, but my hole is saying Zac. So conflicted </3
