SNERK!
1)Well, now I’ll never be able to watch this one again without being on Tie Alert:
Husband: OMG! The Zodiac Killer is that guy!
Me: And look at his TIE!
2) Robert Downey Jr. can make even a ’70s era rumpled coffee stained nicotine stinking reporter hawt. I wish I was a neckerchief.
3)Sars’ Dad was a pretty foxy polyester sundae!
Mark Ruffalo. Hot even in a bowtie.
Didn’t David Sedaris write something about how a bowtie is a man’s signal to the world that he is now impotent, or words to that effect? I can’t help thinking of that, and of Orville Redenbacher, and now I have to wash my hands repeatedly.
The only thing I remember about Zodiac was how long that movie went on. It’s become the byword for my friends when something lasts forever, especially in a painful way- “we’re going to be waiting in this line ’til the end of Zodiac.” The 70’s fashion was a trip though.
I’m just going to go ahead and say: this is the best thing I will see all week.
THANK YOU! Turned my day around.
Oh yeah. As a dear friend of mine put it some years ago, when the ’70s look was getting popular again: “It was ugly already the first time around”. And so it was. How awful isn’t it, then, that I’m suddenly struck with nostalgia:-P
Thank you for the lolz!
This is so wonderful and hilarious! I enjoyed it more than the movie, I admit–and will begin incorporating Natalie’s use of the movie title immediately! I spotted at least 2 types of tie that still hang in my dad’s closet and sometimes (much to my mother’s chagrin) around his neck.
Neckwear, sure, but check out that old school shoulder holster! Way to carry that spare ammo around, detective.
I remember reading somewhere that Inspector Toschi, played by Ruffalo, was the inspiration for Steve McQueen’s character in Bullitt, even using the same upside down shoulder rig.
