Shimmy toward me, Eduardo!
When I found this GIF, I shed a tear of joy in celebration of Andrew Garfield's underwear-clad butt.
DON'T YOU JUST WANT TO COMFORT HIM IN SO MANY WAYS?
Fun fact: while searching for suitable Andrew Garfield pictures, I discovered that there is a substantial Mark/Eduardo fandom. (It was much more surprising than the Arthur/Eames fandom I found while searching for Inception pictures.) The caption for this GIF generally reads something like "I don't even know where Mark tapped Eduardo."

On that Asian-men-not-being-effeminate note, LADIES:




I hope I grow up to be Natalie Portman.
And now back to the menfolk:
Ladies and gentlemen, Francisco Lachowski. You're welcome.

It's been good, 2010.
