Graham Beckel

Physique: Husky/Average Build Height: 5′8" (1.73 m)

Graham Stuart Beckel (born 22 December 1949 -) is an American character actor known for his guest appearances on television, but has had roles in several major films as well. He has appeared on television like Battlestar Galactica, Heroes and Halt & Catch Fire, but has had prominent roles in several major films as well like The Paper Chase, L.A. Confidential, Leaving Las Vegas and Sicario: Day of the Soldado.

I know many people will have happily j/o off to him, but the Old Lyme, CT native really doesn't get the recognition he deserves as hot daddy/bearish actor. He hardly ever appears in bear/daddy blogs or websites and I honestly can't figure out why. Ruggedly handsome with a gravelly voice (you just know this man knew how to talk really filthy in bed) and beautiful eyes.

Beckel has been married since 1984. He is the younger brother of political strategist and TV commentator Bob Beckel. Oh the fantasies of a hot Graham and Bob Beckel sandwich with me in the middle. Or an Eiffel tower gimmick going on with me giving it to one of them (preferably Bob) or receiving one one of them (preferably Graham). It really doesn't matter as long as it's both of them.

RECOMMENDATIONS: (1973) The Paper Chase (1997) L.A. Confidential (2007) Battlestar Galactica: Razor (2011) Atlas Shrugged: Part I (2014) The Loft (2014–2015) Halt and Catch Fire (2015–2016) Aquarius

Atlas Shrugged: Part I (2011)

The only thing preventing Atlas Shrugged: Part I from receiving the lower rating it deserves is its audacity. The first two-thirds are impenetrable and boring. The last third clobbers you with so many bewildering developments that when the credits tell you this is only Part I, you want to see what’s coming next. It's hard to believe even a dedicated Ayn Rand fan would like this film, though if they’re as nutty as this movie makes me think they are, they’d probably drop on their knees and worship anything tangentially related to her.

Set in 2016 (5 years after this film was released), gasoline costs $37 a gallon. Railroads are the only economic form of transportation but even they are in rough shape. Dagny Taggart (Taylor Schilling), Vice-President of Taggart Transcontinental railroad, defies her brother, James (Matthew Marsden), the CEO of Taggart Transcontinental, and begins replacing steel rails with Rearden Metal. Named after its inventor, Hank Rearden (Grant Bowler), this new metal is 10 times lighter than steel, but far stronger. Unfortunately, politicians, lobbyists and other industry leaders scheme against Dagny and Taggart; laws are passed forcing them to break up their companies and limit the production of Rearden Metal. The State Science Institute releases a report implying Rearden Metal is dangerous. Despite these obstacles, Hank and Dagny carry on. Meanwhile, talented and hard-working employees are quitting their jobs before disappearing entirely. All of these mysterious disappearances point towards the enigmatic John Galt.

I don’t know much about Ayn Rand or her philosophies. We're only judging this film on its own merit. Unfortunately for Atlas Shrugged, its psychopathic and delusional beliefs are obvious. This film is a contrived roundabout fantasy what-if scenario whose thinly veiled goal is demented. Atlas Shrugged has no idea how crazy it sounds - or perhaps writer John Aglialoro and Brian Patrick O’Toole, along with director Paul Johansson really believe what they’re selling. Everyone is conspiring against Dagny and Rearden. Why? The public is told Rearden Metal is dangerous. How? It doesn’t matter. The point is, people think it’s bad. Railroad workers don’t want to drive on it, everyone expects the bridge made from the adamantium-like substance to crumble. People are scared but our protagonists don’t take the time to dissuade their fears. Instead, they plow forward, cursing those union workers for trying to stand in their way.

Our protagonists hear about a factory whose management tried paying all their staff the same wage. They can’t understand why anyone would even try because all they care about is making money. Rearden admits it, he says “All I care about is making money”. This is our hero. He lives in a world of cartoon characters. His frigid wife hates him and his metal. She practically looks at the Rearden Metal bracelet he gives her as if it was made of tinfoil and dog turds and gets rid of it while he watches. You know it’s so Dagny and Rearden can “fall in love” - or whatever these two reptiles would call love - but you so don’t care. It’s hard to care about anything because the setup is so artificial. It creates this bizarro-world scenario where someone being able to make all the money in the world is a good thing, where someone having a monopoly is desirable, where fairness and competition are the worst things that could happen.

You can tell the people in charge of Atlas Shrugged were so busy padding themselves on the back for "telling the truth" they didn’t stop and think. We can buy that railroads are the only viable means of transportation due to fuel shortages, but the source material clearly took place like 80 years ago. Transporting it to the present day when we have the internet, television, cell phones and solar & nuclear power raises dozens of questions. When Dagny and Rearden leave their office, the streets are littered with “Going out of Business” signs and vandalized cars. People can’t afford anything anymore. Well, “normal” people can’t. These two fat cats are driving all over the country, looking for a mysterious engineer (whose identity you can easily decipher) as if gas doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Their road trip could've been done over the phone. Even in 2011, audiences must have thought “Couldn’t they prove Rearden Metal is good with TV specials and viral marketing strategies, or a demonstration?”

Over and over, the movie has to contort itself to make this world work. To its credit, it ALMOST does. You don’t understand why Rearden and Dagny are constantly being thwarted so you hate the same people and things they hate. There are split seconds where you actually sympathize with them, which means a lot considering how loathsome their ideals are outside of this very specific scenario.

I wish I could say that Atlas Shrugged: Part I was a fascinating mess but it isn’t even that. So much of it is political wheeling and dealing, a slow burn towards a “romance” you don’t care about or a quest to solve a mystery you could unravel in your sleep you will be bored for most of the picture. It does pick up towards the end, at the point in the story where any other film would wrap up, but this one just starts becoming interesting. That upward climb does make me curious to see what the next part will be like but that’s just me. I doubt anyone reading this would care. (On DVD, March 31, 2023)

I’ve spent the balance of the last year trying to put a finger on who exactly my grad student reminded me of. It hit me while watching LA Confidential. Graham Beckel. If Graham was 22 and also cosplayed as The Winter Solider. It’s a very strange mix of human.

Cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers. Or in Spain, Caníbales Humanoides Ululantes Demoníacos. Either way, it’s  C.H.U.D., some serious campy 80s gold! The Grue-Crew revisits this fun monster movie from 1984 for this episode of Decades of Horror 1980s. John Heard, Daniel Stern, and Christopher Curry lead the cast in Douglas Cheek’s feature film debut. But the movie is about the creatures and maybe a small cameo from John Goodman… kidding. Check out what the Grue-Crew thinks of this sci-fi/horror classic.

At the time of this writing, C.H.U.D. is available to stream from these free-with-ads sites: Roku, Tubi, PlutoTV, Hoopla, Plex; and from these subscription sites: Amazon Prime, Arrow; and of course, there are PPV options. The film is also available as a Blu-ray disc from Arrow Video.

Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Bill, will be Wicked City (1987). Why does Bill keep warning the 80s Grue-Crew about the content of this film? Hmmm . . .

Please let them know how they’re doing! They want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans – so leave them a message or comment on the gruesome Magazine Youtube channel, on the website, or email the Decades of Horror 1980s podcast hosts at feedback@gruesomemagazine.com.

Longmire (TV Series) S1/E6 ’The Worst Kind of Hunter’ (2012) - Graham Beckel

Graham is one of the finest, underrated daddies around. I've had a boner for him since seeing him in that army commercial awhile back.

On A Side Note: Special shout out to Graham's brother, the late Bob Beckel. He was a fine daddy in his own right too.

Bob Beckel

Physique: Husky Build Height: 5'10“ (1.78 m)

Robert Gilliland Beckel (November 15, 1948 – February 20, 2022) was an American political analyst and pundit, and political operative. He had been a commentator on Fox News and was an original co-host of The Five until he was released in 2015 after being absent for several months recovering from back surgery. After departing Fox News, Beckel became a commentator for CNN, but returned to Fox News two years later as co-host of The Five. Later, Fox News announced Beckel had been fired again after he was accused of making a racist remark to a Fox News employee. Beckel died on February 20, 2022, at the age of 73.

Beckel had a penchant for alcohol, cocaine and getting oral from hookers before being saved later in life, in accordance with Christian doctrine. So there was a time where maybe after a few drinks and some lines, he wouldn’t mine a blow-job from an adoring male fan. Though he probably won’t reciprocate since he once choked on a large shrimp during a Fox party. So obviously he’s going to choke on my deal, but I’d still make the offer.

Of course he was straight, having been married with two children before getting divorced in 2002. He was the older brother of L.A. Confidential and Pearl Harbor actor Graham Beckel. I don’t really know anything else about him, other than I wanted to fuck him and his brother Graham.

Sometimes we have to do things that we never thought we were capable of... When you can be this for as long as you have to be, then you're a razor. This war is forcing us all to become razors, because if we don't, we don't survive. And then we don't have the luxury of becoming simply human again.
