Mustache Birthday Boy

On this day 70 years ago, a future mustache king was born in Somerset, England. A king that would one day grace our lives with whimsical movies such as A Fish Called Wanda and Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.

One part giant, one part sexy, three parts funny, one part ridiculous, four parts mustache. This daring concoction can only sum up one person: John Cleese, 1/6th of the beloved Monty Python gang. Today is your day, good sir knight.

It is our great honor to wish you a very happy 70th birthday. Well done ol’ chap! Keep looking stachetastic you dishy fellow.

The Informant (better late than never I suppose)

This movie is beyond worthy of the fanciful mustache sported so proudly by Mr. Damon throughout it. It is clever and quick witted  and plays to the intelligence of both the lead and audience…and its about fucking time. To often screenwriters, producers, directors, actors, and audience members rely on explosions to captivate and sex to fill seats. Its simply nice to see a well written screenplay, well casted, and unprovoked by cheap thrills in an effort to cash in at the box office. The informant is simply a great film that is meant to be appreciated at face value.  Scott Z. Burns does a wonderful job adapting the script from Kurt Eichenwald’s The Informant as he uses Mark Whitacre’s elaborate inner monologues as a nearly constant form of comic relief.  It will have you chuckling throughout  despite your sober struggle to decipher the level of Whitacre’s neurosis.

It’s the type of film you want to share with the right person.. I would suggest someone who displays the mental fortitude and comedic taste to appreciate it. Luckily in my case that person did not fall short.

It features several stand-up comedians  including Joel McHale and Tom Papa… which obviously only adds to to the charm. Its simple, straightforward, and delightful.

The  Informant proves once again, Matt Damon is unbelievably satisfying.

Mustache of the Month, Octubre 2009 (THE EX EDITION)

It’s been quite a while since our last MOTM.. and to be completely honest the Cluster had to dig a little deep for this one… all the way into the past.

The year is 2001 (estimation) …and what a tumultuous year it was… it was a year for fantastic Space Odysseys.. yet nothing Kubrick could have envisioned was quite as frightening as the individual you see before you.

Mustache of the Month Octubre edition goes to… A master creeper in training… An ex-boyfriend of one of the Cluster girls..the one and only:

Proof that Rome was indeed NOT built in a day

Marcus Hanlin from Rocky Mount, NC.

We wish we could congratulate you.. but sadly we can’t.

Though, technically you didn’t do anything wrong..  other than cling tight to your first sprouts of manliness of course (a common mistake)…A mistake which you would soon rectify by swapping it out for a generous  lower lip hair… a day we here at MC applaud.

Proof that a simple rearrangement of facial hair can do wonders for aesthetics... (apparently not so much for the disposition)

At the end of the day it’s important to remember that while we do not condone your adolescent actions  we love you (and more specifically your mother, for sending it in) just the same, and we hope you never return to your hair lip days.

Unless of course this time ’round you can have it meet in the middle.. ?

The Mustache that Tickled the G Spod.

We here at Mustache Cluster would like to say thank you to those of you at the G Spod, an impressive podcast run by impressive people. If you didn’t know, last week WWWilma acknowledged our little establishment in her segment of their podcast. You will hear our glorious name spoken around the 20 minute mark, at which point your entire body will erupt in mustache-o-gasms. Thank you once again, from two devastatingly humble girls with unrivaled mustache envy.

In the words of Gordon Ramsey, consider this rivalry…. DONE.

oh, robert.

Dear Robert Redford,

Today is your 73rd birthday. Where did all the years go? I’ve always looked at you as if you were some sort of superior being chiseled out of marble by the gods. Thank you for being so sexy. Thank you for reminding me of an older Brad Pitt… and my god, thank you for rocking the shit out of this mustache.

Today is your day Robert Redford, you deserve it.

May you live 73 more years Sundance Kid!

mark your calendars… now

Some of you may already know that Corey and I are lifelong Johnny Depp fans, so it shouldn’t really be any surprise that I’m posting this.

Where will you be on March 5, 2010? I’ll tell you where… the movie theater. It should be a serious offense to pass up this amazing feat of moviemaking. I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited for a Depp/Burton team-up as I am for Alice in Wonderland. In case you haven’t seen the trailer, here it is:

Only 221 more days.

A long time coming (read with a British accent)

I can’t believe we’ve gone this long on the blog without an introduction to our good friend Karl Pilkington (actual name).  He is a complete twit, but an adorable one at that.  Karl is an amazing little oddity with a head like a fucking orange.

Mancy twat (pronounced Main-key tw-at)

Currently that little head is sporting a mustache and though he looks simply stunning the rediculously stupid shat that he says is even more stunning.  With that as a given fact I had to include a clip from the Ricky Gervais DVD Politics… as knowing the British comedy icon is Karl’s only claim to fame… Its a long clip but it is well worth it.  So come along with us and get to know Karl… he’s wonderfully stupid.

Not enough.. I knew it wouldn’t be.. If you want more simply type Karl Pilkington into youtube and watch til your hearts content as he bumbles away life, through the the lens of Rickys camera. Your Welcome..
