The Meister read a recent blog on empireonline about top 10 bromances in movies. Now, the first thing is whoever came up with the term should be shot. The second thing is that Meister did not agree at all with the list. So here' s who Meister thinks should be on the list.
Shaun Of The Dead: Shaun (Simon Pegg) and Ed (Nick Frost)
This is a prime example of best friends forever. Despite Ed's complete uselessness in anything and everything, Simon sticks with him. Even when Ed turns into a zombie, Shaun leaves his girlfriend and runs off to play PS2 with Zombie Ed. Now that is what male friendship is all about...without interference from the pesky females.
Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Chewbaca:
The original tag team. What can you say about Chewbacca anyway. He is just the coolest sidekick/partner/friend ever. Chewbacca's hearfelt anguished shout when Han was being frozen is a moment worth billions....worth manly tears even.
Lethal Weapon: Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover):
They had wonderful chemistry all throughout the 4 movies. The duo were more like brothers than partners. Murtaugh's family was Riggs's family...they were so close. That did not mean Riggs did not play pranks on Murtaugh.
LOTR: Sam and Frodo (Sean Austin, Elijah Wood)
Hell these 2 travelled to the end of the world together and when Sam lifted Frodo over his shoulders and carried him those last few steps, it was an expression of extreme non-gay dude love.
Other fine examples of non-gay dude couples:
- Bill S. Preston (Alex Winters) & Ted "Theodore" Logan (Keaunu Reeves)
- Harold and Kumar (Kal Penn and John Cho)
- Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowrey in Bad Boys (Will Smith, Martin Lawrence)
- Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) and Saul Silver (James Franco) in Pineapple Express
- Starsky (Ben Stiller) and Hutch (Owen Wilson)
- Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson in the Shanghai series
- the whole crew of the Ocean series
- Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung (forgotten the name but they were playing brothers)
