I actually considered doing a study comparing chewing gum use and malocclusions (crooked teeth). Anthropologists have shown that eating soft foods leads to more malocclusions because the jaw grows fully only when it is properly exercised.

"He looks like...Clark Gable."

There's not near enough ears for that :)

[thudpucker.livejournal.com]

Now that seems reasonable - although by rights he should have a gap in his teeth.

And on a related note, has anyone seen Alfred E. Neuman and David Letterman together in the same room? Ever?

I thought not.

If you haven't seen them together, then obviously they're the same person.

Same argument applies to Winston Churchill and Charles Laughton.

Google, no. IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001452/), yes.

Fantastic actor. He was the definitive Henry the Eighth, the Hunchback that everyone remembers (as opposed to Lon Chaney, who honestly was better), a wonderful Captain Kidd and selected the knife he kills himself with in Spartacus based on it's 'prettiness'. Became a popular and well known actor before perfect looks were required by Hollywood.

And, by a curious coincidence, "pretty boy good looks" were what Laughton was generally looking for. Small world, isn't it? :)

PS - He was also great in The Canterville Ghost, almost making you not want to reach through the screen and slap Robert Young.

I like movies. I'm not sure if you've figured that out, yet :)

"Old movies are the best! :)"

Some new ones are good - just like some new bands are good (I've grown quite fond of My Chemical Romance, for example)... but it's amazing how many really, really good movies are familiar to less than one percent of the population.

Off the top of my head, three good unknown movies are: The General (with Buster Keaton), They Drive by Night (with a young Humphrey Bogart) and The Sign of the Cross (with Claudette Colbert barely wearing a milk bath)(God, I love pre-code movies).

"Awesome icon, btw."

Thanks! I like Farscape, I like coffee. Seemed a natural fit :)

[thudpucker.livejournal.com]

Then you definitely would like They Drive By Night. I wouldn't bet good money that Roger Ebert has heard of it :)

I was thinking Ronald Reagan myself.

yes, i envy the savage for his sparkling white straight teeth

Ah, those dazzling caveman smiles.

[kip-w.livejournal.com]

Indeed, yes. The skulls they looked at at Mesa Verde had teeth worn down to the roots from eating ground corn with particles of the stone metates in them (if I have the word right). And they died at what would seem shockingly young ages to us.

See, there's the secret to those great 'savage' smiles. You just die before your teeth go.

Aww, now I feel all self-conscious about my flabby teeth :(
