Behind the scenes shot from “Baby Cyclone” (1928 - MGM), starring Lew Cody. Buster was supposedly wandering around the MGM lot when he spied a stunt double for Lew Cody trying to fall down a staircase. The director wasn’t pleased with the performance, so Buster jumped into a costume and did the fall while hiding his face. For his trouble and goodwill, Buster got an ass-chewing from Louis B. Mayer and a stuntman’s check for $7.50. He never cashed it. It was framed and hanging on his wall until he died.

A very young Marilyn Monroe, 1948
So I FINALLY started watching Boardwalk Empire, which I’ve been meaning to do since like, two years ago. Two things:
Steve Buschemi’s face is a melting candle.
And mostly, most important, is that even if this show had absolutely nothing else going for it, I would still watch it because MICHAEL PITT’S LIPS. Omgah.
So I apologize if I semi-live-blog as I watch it. But I don’t know anyone else who watches it and I have to get my feels out somehow.

Ugh. I would die to have lips like Michael Pitt.

So I moved the other day and found a crap-ton of Teen Peoples from 2001-2003. Consider them scanned, my friends.
