He is vile and without morals. He sees women as physical conquests ... he loves their bodies before he knows their minds. Sometimes before he even knows their names. He is sexist and lazy and has absolutely no self control. He is the opposite of every characteristic I look for in a man.
And yet, I cannot get enough of Hank Moody. Plus, I would totally hang out with him.
Why would I love a guy who lacks morals and would f-ck anyone, anywhere? Even if it meant losing the one person he truly has a (love) connection with. Now my mother would say, "Is it necessary to use such a vile and offensive word?" And I would have to tell her that "yes, yes it is" because that is what sex is to Hank ... an act, without emotion most times.
Now, I ask you why would I want to be involved with a guy like that?
Do you watch Californication? You should. It is well-written. It is current. It is very funny. And, it is hot.
Jones notes (to get you caught up): Hank Moody is a writer, with one work of creative genius that has made him famous in the literary/artsy world of Hollywood. He has an ex-wife that he loves from his soul and a teenage daughter that he is trying to raise. And if there is trouble within a five mile radius, it will find Hank Moody. Especially, if there is s-e-x involved.
But it brings me back to the question of what makes me want to watch Hank Moody? I mean, there are many women out there who would watch three minutes of his bullshit and wonder what is wrong with me. Me? I cannot wait for the next episode.
I have been an avid fan since the first season. In fact, it was the one television show that I made a real effort to watch ... skipping unimportant paragraphs in unsuspecting little girls' bedtime stories, halting adult conversations, ignoring e-mails because I had to watch Californication at 9pm Monday nights. And when it was all finished after just thirty minutes, I longed for the next thirty minutes.
However, when the third season premiered - almost a year ago now - I was not interested in watching television. In fact, I didn't watch any television. Ever. I was in a place of self-discovery, finding my love of writing and my evenings were spend with a laptop. So, I missed the whole season. But I didn't forget about the show.
The other night, after a very long day of trying to entertain three children, the only thing my brain could handle was just good ol' fashioned entertainment.
Like Hank Moody.
But you cannot just watch one episode and think that you won't care about watching the next one. So, over the course of a weekend, I watched the entire third season of Californication ... please, I beg you to watch this show. It is so entertaining. And you should not love Hank; but seriously, how can you not love Hank?
David Duchovny. Did you watch him as Agent Fox Mulder on The X-Files? Was his name Fox because he is a fox? I'll have to leave that up to you ... but there is some undefined quality about David Duchovny that makes me want to know more about him ... so I googled and clicked a few times.
Guess what? David Duchovny studied English Literature at Princeton; then he went on to get his Masters in English Lit at Yale, and he has partially finished his PhD. In English Literature ...
I knew there was a reason Ilove like him.
But, Duchovny has had his share of personal problems. If you follow all the gossip, you know that he checked himself into a rehab facility for sex addiciton in August 2008. It was at this point that things became clear to me. Perhaps some of Hank's escapades were based on actual events in Duchovny's life. Not that he could/would ever admit to it. Or perhaps, Duchovny could just really relate to Hank Moody ... which makes for excellent "interpretataion" art. Whatever the reason, Duchovny makes Hank Moody who he is.
And of course, I'm pretty sure I could help him to become the person that he really is deep down in his soul. Because that's the thing ... Hank Moody is a really good person. It's just that he makes some really stupid decisions. Decisions that are going to get him into some deep trouble ...
Unfortunately, the new season of Californication does not start until January 2011. Very disappointing for the die-hards, like me. But it does mean that you have lots of time to get caught up ... go to Blockbuster and check it out.
Maybe the reason that I love about Hank Moody so much is that I want to see him become the man that he is capable of becoming. To realize his potential. I want to watch him grow up ... finally.
Do you?
