<\/p>\nI’m having one of those “too busy to go to the bathroom, let alone write anything that means anything” days, so why don’t we just take a moment to push back from our desks, breathe slowly, and gaze upon an image of two lovely people:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you haven’t figured it out from the available evidence, this is Tyrone Power and Maureen O’Hara, starring here in an old pirate movie called The Black Swan<\/i><\/a>, which I have to admit I’ve never seen. I’ve only seen a couple of Tyrone Power movies, actually — off the top of my head, all I can think of are his take on Zorro<\/i><\/a> and Brigham Young<\/i> — so I don’t really have a strong mental picture that immediately leaps to mind when I hear his name. Am I crazy, or does he look rather like 1970s-vintage Sean Connery<\/a> in this shot?<\/p>\n Credit where it’s due: I ganked the photo from Lileks<\/a>, who, incidentally, has finally converted his Bleat<\/a> into a genuine blog (i.e., he’s now publishing it with WordPress instead of the hand-built labor of love he’s been creating day by day for the last umpteen years; on the positive side, he’s finally got a reliable RSS feed so I can include him in my aggregator instead of having to remember to click over to his site). And why did I steal this particular image, a screengrab from something Lileks was watching on DVD the other night? No reason, really — I just like looking at attractive people in Technicolor. And there is that Sean Connery thing.
