Lips of steel, lips of estrogen

“Research has shown that the more estrogen a girl has, the fuller her lips are. Research has also shown that estrogen makes women crazy, so that means these ten women are incredibly insane and incredibly hot. In honor of Netflix’s new “Greatest Kiss Challenge”, we decided it was time to pay tribute to the most kissable lips in Hollywood. So sit back and enjoy these celebrity hotties and their amazing estrogen lips.”–Manofest.com

Another spot-on list from our friends over at manofest.com. I can’t say I agree with Angelina Jolie being the hottest woman or anything, but she can claim to have some hefty lips, that’s for sure.

Another Reason to get Netflix’s Roku Box

The US Postal Service is planning to reduce its mail service an additional day. This, of course, gives us another excuse why the credit card bill won’t get paid in time to hold that low introductory apr but more importantly, it cripples our Netflix watching. 

Because honestly, what other use is there for the mail at this point?

Film Guru on… Arm Stumps

We got dragged over the holidays to the film Valkyrie - which is truly a film before its time. It should have been made after everyone has forgotten how World War II finished.

But the remarkable thing about the film was Tom Cruise’s arm stump. Cruise loses a hand during an Allied bombing attack and the most interesting thing about his performance from that point on is his ability to keep his arm stump away from our morbidly curious eyes.

So we reached out to Kelly Williams, Film Program Director of the Austin Film Festival, to ask him “What are the great film characters with arm stumps?”

Surprisingly, he responded.

“1. Harold Russell in The Best Years of our Lives (lost his actual hands in WWII and then played a soldier who had – took home the best supporting actor Oscar for it in 1947)
2. Ash in Evil Dead (hand cut off)
3. Dr. No in Dr. No
4. Luke Skywalker in Empire Strike Back
5. Captain Hook in Hook”

Looks like it’s going to be Stump Week on Netflix. Thanks, Kelly.
