I think it's really cool when current actors try to re-shoot famous freeze frames from movies. Recently Vanity Fair did a photo shoot to re-enact some of those scenes, and my favorite was this shot of Seth Rogan from North by Northwest.


Now most of the other shoots were done with actors that actually look or were similar to the original. Seth's shot was obviously done for the sake of comedy. I mean there is nothing about Seth Rogan that is reminiscent of Cary Grant, and the fact that his tummy is poking out of the bottom of the shirt as he runs says enough. Here's a look at the original with the man himself, Cary Grant. I love Cary and have seen all his movies :)

Everything about Seth Rogan is hilarious and surprising adorable?

My friend Julie is dating a guy who is his double and just as funny. Maybe there is something universally cute and funny about those specific tub types.

I was just looking through the Vanity Fair piece and I did a double take at Renee taking on Mrs. Novak's Elster in Vertigo. I had to look for Renee, because she wasn't squinting. Wow. What squinting adds and takes away from a person.

Bravo Renee. Bravo. ;-)

renee's greatest acting conquest :) why does she always squint? does she need knew contacts? or maybe she just doesn't like bright lights.

and yes, Seth Rogan is definitely adorable!
