Yesterday the "Six Degrees/Kevin Bacon" theory was proven true thanks to the minor task of analyzing all Microsoft Messenger instant messages sent in June 2006 (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25988549/). FindSportsNow thinks this is awesome, as we've historically been supportive of far-reaching social network theories. However, this news just reminds us once again that the "Six Degrees" has replaced Kevin Bacon's actual body of work as his claim to fame. FindSportsNow thinks this is a huuuuuuuge mistake considering how sexy sexy some of his films are. Take these three for example:

1. Hollow Man

The dark and dirty undertones of this film were largely missed due to then-groundbreaking CGI. Seen through a post-Transformers lens though, the oozing sexuality and overall horniness of the film are as transparent as KB's hollow-taint. When invisible, all Bacon wants to do is touch lady parts. Period. By the end of the film, he manages to get his see-through hands on every X chromosome in site. Rhona Mitra: Fondled. Elisabeth Shue: Fondled. That redhead chick who takes care of the gorillas: Fondled. He even kinda fondles Josh Brolin at one point - a pre-Cohen Brothers Josh Brolin, which makes KB look all the more deranged.

2. Stir of Echoes

This movie made about $21 million at the box office, making it the eighty-forth most profitable movie of 1999 (behind Never Been Kissed, House on Haunted Hill and Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo). Not exactly a blockbuster. The DVD version on the other hand is the greatest thing ever made, and the top grossing DVD featuring Kevin Bacon receiving visions from a dead girl off all-time. Insightful director's cut? No. Crazy alternate ending? No. Interesting commentary? No. The movie is exactly the same. But FindSportsNow, you said the DVD was legendary? It is. Actually, the menu screen is. It's the scariest, scariest thing ever. So much so, it takes 25 minutes to find how to start the damn movie. Piece of advice: Take three Tylenol PM's, turn off the lights and fall asleep while watching the movie. When it ends, the disc will default back to the menu screen. The menu screen will loop until you, in your drug-woozy state, wake up. The combo of darkness, TPM-impairment and the menu screen will scare the living sh$%#$^#$^@$&$%t out of you.

3. Wild Things

Denise is hot. Neve is hot. Matt Dillon and Bill Murray are electric. Kevin Bacon though...that's a whole different thing. In a movie filled with hot girls, the director found space for one dork. Just one...KEVIN BACON!!
