For the Love of James Spader

I was watching an episode of Difficult People the other day and Billy Eichner gave us this gem:


After seeing/hearing this statement and letting it stew for a moment, you may be asking yourself…"but Liz, is this statement accurate?" And the answer is: no shit Sherlock, of course this statement is accurate.

James Spader is beyond hot. He has always been attractive and always will be.

Now you may think that this is just my opinion. But it's not. It's fact. Sure you've heard that he's a very "technical" actor who balances on the thin ledge of perfection that overlooks a careening abyss of OCD and insanity…but it just adds to his allure. One could simply say he's "driven." But don't take my word for it, read this Rolling Stone article: James Spader: The Strangest Man on T.V.

Aside from being a workaholic... he's damn fine, has a voice smoother than Nutella on a pancake, he has the very best lines in several stellar roles and…did I say he's hot? Yeah, I think I covered that.

I'm just grateful that my name is Lizzy, because there's nothing more enjoyable than hearing him say my name all the time on the Blacklist.

Granted, I have an affinity for older men, but even if I didn't…I think I'd still be attracted to Spader. So what makes him so great? Observe exhibits A-Z...

The best facial expressions:







































Killer wardrobe:





















Fantastic lines:
























Great late night guest:














Dem hands tho:



























And he's intelligent!











Bonus internet hilarity:

























































Now that you understand the mix of hilarity, brooding, professionalism and expressive hand gestures that is James Spader, you can see why so many straight women have crushes on this weirdo. And if you still can't see it…there's just no helping you.

Here's a list of Spader's films…go watch them all and maybe you'll get it eventually.

Things You May Need to Hear

Image
There is a good chance that you need to hear at least one of these things at this moment or throughout the new year: 1. Stop looking at your anger or anxiety as a wall you keep running into. Instead, look closely at the bricks that make up the wall. Attack the wall one brick at a time and watch the wall disappear. 2. Fear is an illusion. When anxiety strikes, you have to lean into it to get out of it. 3. You are where you need to be. Even if you feel stuck, even if you hate it, even if you don't understand it - stop trying to escape, and start asking yourself what you can learn from this. 4. People who don't have a clear sense of their own identity latch on to others. They turn their insecurity into gossip, their anxiety into manipulation, their inferiority complex into sabotage. Remember that you are a separate organism and that you can choose to either let their toxins in, or keep them out. Don't take on others' baggage before unpacking your own. If you ca...

Analysis of Gerrit Dou's "Dentist by Candlelight" by Liz Rector '09

Image
The piece I have chosen to analyze is Gerrit Dou’s Dentist by Candlelight. A Dutch painter from the 1600’s, Dou began this piece that explores everyday life in 1660 and completed it in 1665. Painted with oil on oak panel (14x10 in.), the piece, which is mostly bathed in blacks and grays, has an eerie lure to it. Entrapped on the oak is a man with his mouth agape, sitting in a wooden chair, wearing a distinct look of anticipating agony. The man looks to the ceiling, where his eyes are met with an alligator hanging from the ceiling; the alligator’s mouth agape as well, with its underbelly aglow. The dentist holds a single candle to the man’s face with one hand, and with the other holds back the patient’s forehead. A concerned wife stands before the man, holding his hand, which is securely fastened to the arm of the chair. The viewer anticipates action, as the scene seems ready to unfold at any moment. The three people in this situation form a sort of circle through their lit facades and ...
