I’ve been touting for the past three weeks that I am doing a Mustache Marathon.   That’s because between the bad movies that I am known for watching, I’ve been watching movies that have memorable mustaches in them.   It is an annual thing that I do in November.   While everyone else is growing out their facial hair to the point of looking like a dirty pedophile, I am watching movies where people have their already manscaped facial hair on display.   These people tend not to look like the people you see raising awareness for prostate cancer.   These people usually have good mustaches.   They make the mustaches good. The Mustache Marathon is currently in its fourth year.   I started it back in 2011 as a way to take part in the mustache thing in November while still being able to rid myself of dirty looking facial hair.   It used to include nine movies, one for each letter in the word “mustaches.”   I’m not sure why I did that.   It’s just what I did at the time.   The third year

Welcome to the second week of the fourth annual Mustache Marathon.   This annual marathon that I do in November is focused on what is in the title: mustaches.   The idea is that I spend November watching a bunch of movies in which actors don mustaches of some sort while portraying their characters.   The style of mustache does not matter.   All that matters is that they have the mustache.   I am celebrating facial hair for the month, so having facial hair is a must.   Except for that time I watched Road House because Sam Elliott was in it.   There was no mustache on him in that movie. Yes, I spend November watching movies that almost always predominately feature mustaches.   If you looked at the post that I put up last week, I saw three mustache movies.   Two of them featured people who usually appear in the annual marathon.   Hulk Hogan was in the movie Thunder in Paradise , and Tom Selleck was in the movie Quigley Down Under .   This week I added one more of the usual pe

Every November, I hear people talking about how they aren’t going to shave because they want to raise awareness for prostate cancer.   At least, I think that’s what the whole Movember thing is about.   But I also think that the people are using it as an excuse to be lazy when it comes to removing their facial hair.   Hell, I’ve used the excuse myself.   I never raised awareness.   I’ve just not shaved for November because I felt like not shaving for November.   Anyway… I’m not going to try and say that I am raising awareness of any sort this month.   I’m not really doing that.   What I am doing is taking this facial hair fixation and using it to dictate some of the movies I watch during the month of November.   That’s right.   I’m going to spend the month diving into movies starring people known for having mustaches, or movies with just plain damn interesting facial hair. This month of mustache movies has happened with me for the past four years.   I’ve seen a lot of movies
