Celebrity Dad Faceoff 2.0

The special Halloween edition of CFM yielded a tasty vampire treat, that treat being the rugged cheekbones of one Angel, aka David Boreanaz. I was feeling truly sorry for Tom Cruise, who for a very long time received zero percent of the vote, but at the last minute someone took pity on him. Here’s a last look at our daylight-challenged winner:

From the week before that, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. won handily over Ronald Colman. But, were the results skewed because I misspelled Mr. Colman’s name? We’ll never know…

This week’s challenger should be recognizable to anyone with even a passing interest in movies. For some reason, I’d seen more of his later works, or ones in which he was in character and had a moustache or whatever. But I have to admit, young Laurence Olivier is quite a dish.

Everything Old is Weird Again

I mean, seriously. It’s no wonder we children of the 80’s turned out a little warped!

Indeed, our twisted icons of childhood (oh, you can keep your Baba Yaga’s, your The Counts, and what is it about Eastern Europeans and creepy fairy tales anyway, Molly Whuppie was plenty gross and she was English, but you never hear about that do you, oh no, it’s a conspiracy I say, now where was I?) strongly influence the way we turn out and, in turn, how we influence the world. Which, if nothing else, explains raincoaster.

One can only wonder at how the multifarious marvel that was PeeWee’s Playhouse has writ its legacy on our fragile planet. Wonder…and troll eBay and Amazon for one’s tattered tribal totems:

Peewee!
