First, let's get to the news (this is what Seth Meyers says in his show so I'm attempting to do an obscure reference here. Explaining it like I am now sort of ruins it, but whatever)... Sean Spicer has resigned, that freaky looking lady with a southern accent is going to replace him. Her eyeballs are freaky and they never are looking in the same direction. It's so weird. Some other guy has gotten her job, and that guy is Anthony Scaramucci. Funny last name, eh?
Anyways, I came across a tweet comparing his appearance to a mix of Peter Sarsgaard and Robert Downey Jr. I totally see it. I also think there's a little bit of Marco Rubio thrown in. He has the coloring/complexion of Robert Downey Jr, but the face shape/arrangement of facial features is very Peter Sarsgaard esque (and everything else can just be chalked up to being similar to Robert Downey Jr and/or Marco Rubio). Particularly the eyes/eyebrows area (the Anthony Scaramucci picture below is very Sarsgaard-esque - the eyes, the half smile thing going on; enjoy the multiple Peter pictures for comparison*). If you know me, you'll know that I love comparing people's appearances so seeing that tweet was pretty fun. (another perspective could be: "I can't believe that someone would be so enthralled by comparing various people's appearances. How ridiculous/what a waste of time.")
So, on a related matter, I watched this one Hayden Christensen movie just earlier. I enjoyed Shattered Glass, and a few days ago I saw that some other movie he'd been in was going to be on tv, so I was willing to give it a chance and just now got around to watching it. In this movie he looks fairly different than he did in Shattered Glass, which I guess shouldn't be too surprising. In that movie he had longer hair and wore glasses, in this one he had a crew cut and no glasses. Plus the genre/type of character he played were fairly different. Anyways, I was looking at him in this movie (he's pretty decent looking) and I was trying to think of who he looked like. I settled on a combination of Brad Pitt and Matthew Gray Gubler (from Criminal Minds). He is Canadian, apparently, but from what I've heard he doesn't seem to have a Canadian accent or anything. Although I've only watched him in movies, so maybe he does have a Canadian accent and for the movie roles he didn't use it. I know of two other people who are Canadian and do have Canadian accents; one does a true crime podcast and the other does crochet tutorial videos (two of my other interests).
As for the movie, it was decent. Nothing special but certainly not horrible. One of the characters (not Hayden Christensen's character) had an interesting accent; I think it might have been Scottish but I'm not sure. I was tickled when a song I liked was used for a few scenes. Apparently Hayden Christensen (he has a cool name; it looks Scandinavian plus it's rhymey enough to be interesting but not enough to be silly/ridiculous. Although sometimes I mis-think of it and think it's Christiansen, but it's not.)
*I thought I was going to be able to find a good picture with really similar framing/composition to the Anthony Scaramucci one, but I couldn't find exactly what I had in mind. It's alright though. If he weren't looking directly at the camera, that first Peter Sarsgaard picture would probably be pretty close.
