Curio: Show Your Team Zizzou Colors

Alexa here. Bill Murray turns 60 today, the perfect age for his curmudgeonly ways. I've always been a lover of his, probably because he and I share the same hometown and oddball taste. And no one can play an aging, washed-up grump grasping for his former glory quite like the Murricane. In that vein, here are some ideas for how to dress like one of his iconic grumps, Steve Zizzou, just in time for Halloween. Or for when you're going to see that undersea documentary.

For your head, the classic Zissou hat...


or a reversible Zissou cycling cap for those of you on two wheels...


or better yet, maybe Tara Duff can make one of her bearded caps with a gray beard.


For your feet, fancy custom Zissou Adidas sneakers...




Can't forget that Team Zissou pin.


And for those who want a more low-maintenance look, just throw on this Team Zissou T-shirt.

Aragorn. Gandalf. Bob

We've reached the point in the Top 100 Actor countdown where it's impossible for me to imagine the cinematic decade (thus far) without the contribution of the actors listed. Everyone from here on out has, in one way or another, made some sort of immediate impact whether through a set of resonant turns, celebrity-of-the-moment ascendance, or a feeling that they're very "now" in terms of the movies if you know what I mean. It's always hard to divorce your feelings about actors from their entire body of work and look at just a set of years but that's what I've been attempting to do.

There are people who did not make the list that I think are fine actors but there wasn't necessarily enough from them in the past six years to justify inclusion.

At any rate: the next 15 people are where it's at. Here are three great "M"s: Murray, McKellen, and Mortenson. Read. Return and discuss if you want. You know how this works.
