anchors aweigh!

Guys, I'm sorry.

It's been a while, hasn't it? Do I feel guilty about neglecting this blog? You bet I do! Time to move forward though, and as soon as I discovered this site, I knew I had found my inspiration. It's a collection of high-res promotional photos from old Hollywood films, indexed by actor. So cool. Expect to see more from this site in the days/weeks to come.

Some of you may not know this, but I harbor what some may consider to be an unhealthy obsession with Gene Kelly. The singing, the dancing, the style, the charm, the whole damn package. So, of course, his was the first page I checked. Lo and behold, this amazing shot from "Anchors Aweigh," with Ol' Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra! I haven't actually seen "Anchors" yet, which is a crying shame. Queen Video, here I come!

teen idol.

I got no beef with Zac Efron. Really. Dare I say, I may even... like the guy?

Yeah, I know. I (a holier-than-thou, highly judgemental culture snob) should hate him and all he stands for, but I just can't bring myself to. Charming son of a gun. Reading his interview in the May issue of GQ only strengthened my thoughts that, much like the Jonas Brothers, (which I'll save for another post,) beneath the vacuous teen idol persona lies a talented, career-savvy individual. Kid's got a good head on his shoulders, and he seems extremely self-aware, a quality sorely lacking in the entertainment industry. Best of luck, Mr. Efron, and while I won't be rushing out to see 17 Again any time soon, I think you have bigger and better things on the horizon.
