are u entering a jon hamm phase?

#my posts #jon hamm #I'M HONESTLY SO FRUSTRATED AND IT'S LIKE...beyond the USUAL frustration that i feel #when i get suckered into an imdb walk for a very Basic Looking White Dilf who happened to turn a key in my brain under a blue moon!!!!! #the thing is that YES i'm going through a H A M M phase and it is COMPLETELY the fault of unpretty's Sorrowful and Immaculate Hearts series #on account of Jon Hamm is their ideal fancast for bruce wayne and honestly it's a GOOD CASTING #but then i remembered that i saw baby driver once upon a time and thought buddy and darling were super hot and now i'm HERE #WATCHING FUKKKKING MAD MEN AND BEING MISERABLE ABOUT IT #it's not that jon hamm is a bad actor - he does a very good job actually! the Emmy was deserved! #it's not even that it's his ONLY good work - he does OTHER WORK and in different genres than '60s drama and he does well! #it's simply that none of jon hamm's work really CLICKS with me in the way I'm looking for when i do an imdb walk #i like to be able to like...ROOT for the character my current fave plays? I like them to be an Empathetic Protagonist? #preferrably in a genre setting and/or with interesting and attractive costuming so I can ooh and ahh? #keanu reeves was GREAT for this. keanu has a lot of suitable Leading Man roles that lent themselves well to imdb walk #but the H A M M -as i have said - seems to EXCLUSIVELY play roles along a very specific spectrum!!! #either he's some kind of Mid to Highly Toxic Masculinity Man who is Handsome (TM) and knows it and is a jerk #or there is Nothing Behind Those Eyes except part of the humor is that it's jon hamm so no one ever like...pegs his himbo characters #the whole point of them seems mostly to laugh at them and never to exploit the appeal of Golden Retriever Boyfriend #it's less of a spectrum than a venn diagram but THE WHOLE THING is that Don Draper is jon hamm's most famous role #and while Mad Men is such an aesthetically pretty show it does NOT SPARK JOY IN ME. EVERYONE IS CYNICAL AND MISERABLE ALL THE TIME #and the rest of the H A M M's filmography seems to be deliberately in reaction to don draper in SOME form #but sadly the reaction never goes to roles that i find the most endearing? WHICH IS SUCH A PETTY COMPLAINT AND MY TASTE IS VERY BAD #BUT LIKE...THAT'S WHY I'M IN DENIAL ABOUT THIS IMDB WALK AND GENERALLY FEELING SAD ABOUT IT
