Here We Are Again

So, it's been awhile, eh? It has in fact been almost 4 years. Gossip Girl is no longer even on the air so I will be forced to find another means of sartorial expression than drooling over the suits of Chuck Bass. A big loss to all of you, I'm sure.

In all honesty, it's been a tough year. I have some demons to work out. And for better or worse, I have always used pop culture to do that. It's what makes sense to me. But before we delve into all that heavy list-making (oh, will there be lists!), here's something light and fun: my new movie crush.

 

Trust me, you have to see the kid in action to really get the appeal. He is the perfect combination of crass and charming, which is apparently my thing. I first saw him as the scene stealer in that mediocre Footloose remake, and then he got pretty great reviews for this indie The Spectacular Now, a movie that came nowhere near me during it's short release but I am dying to see. And then I rented 21 and Over, a perfectly average drunken-college-shenanigans type movie, and was later forced (by myself) to buy it just because I liked this guy in it so much.

Most recently there is this trailer for a Zac Efron vehicle called That Awkward Moment and while it looks pretty funny overall, and also stars the fantastic Michael B. Jordon, the entire reason I want to see it is Miles Teller. Which is this guys's name, by the way. Check him out, I hope you enjoy.





Side Question: Miles Teller is 26 years old, so I'm not robbing the cradle or anything, but he has played primarily high schoolers. Does that make this crush creepy? At what age are you no longer allowed to crush on actors under the age of 25, or who only play characters under the age of 21? Don't get me wrong, I can work a mean crush over the more age appropriate James McAvoy or Michael Fassbender, but when will it no longer be socially acceptable to find the young things attractive?
