The Big Picture Ah, The Mummy: the movie that historians, archaeologists, and Bembridge scholars hold responsible for a mass bisexual awakening. Name me another film that delivers a cultural touchstone so gleefully; I'll wait. Writer-director Stephen Sommers's popcorn flick remake of the Universal Monsters classic didn't need to go so hard with its cast's concurrent beauty. Courageously, it did so anyway.
What are those skills? He's a crack shot and a natural with a sword, capable of slashing up mummies while jumping, sliding, and spin-kicking, with an over-the-shoulder backhand for good measure. Rick demonstrates brains and brawn. He's competent without being a swaggering dolt, and we know competence is hot enough to fry the sexy measurement meter like a hard-boiled egg while the meter shrieks for mercy.
Rachel Weisz Is a Nerd Girl’s Inspiration in ‘The Mummy' Close As we've established, competency is sexy. So is running circles around stereotypes. Enter the singular Evie Carnahan, First of Her Name, Queen of inspiring the nerd girls who daydreamed about earning librarian degrees. From the gleefully chipper mood — talking to her books as she shelves them — to the blouse-skirt combo, Evie is the vibe I've spent my life chasing.
‘The Mummy’ Said Villain Rights Close Speaking of devoted couples — let's hear Imhotep out. Maybe he has a point. Here's a romantic just trying to reunite with his soulmate. He does it all for love. What other man's heart stays true through 3,000 years of tortured undead commitment? He grieves, he longs, he's aflame with passion and tenderness. This isn't just romance novel material, it's prestige fine dining.
‘The Mummy’s Cast Has Perfect Chemistry Close We save the best for last because I'm biased towards my childhood favorite. Sorry, Aragorn, but Ardeth Bay did the hella rugged and noble warrior routine before The Lord of the Rings. The definition of "so tall and handsome as hell" and a commanding presence who slays in black, he's charged with a mission and will fulfill it by any means.
