The first day of Lent and a forty day embargo on coolness and fun. Why not give the holiday a great kick-off by celebrating with some Hot Bad Guys?
Ash Wednesday - This movie, actually set on Ash Wednesday, is as close as Wanna Be Hot Bad Guy Elijah Wood gets to making our list. Darn you, vengeance! Still, it's worth it to hear Frodo use the F-word.
40 Days and 40 Nights- Okay, we all agree that Lent is nothing to look forward to, really. (Hang on, I'm Jewish. Doesn't really affect me, any, I guess...) Anyway, in this movie Hot Bad Guy Josh Hartnett decides to give up sex for 40 days and 40 nights. Apparently, this is a big deal. Yeah...
And finally, be sure to check out Soylent Green. They didn't eat meat on Fridays, either. Soylent Green! It's good for the environment and Okay for You!
If you are observing a fast, we recommend water.
Otherwise, in keeping with our Ashes Theme, try some Cajun recipes, like blackened fish!
Or, as they do it in Austria, make an Ash Wednesday pretzel!
Return to the Hot Bad Holidays!
