it's fate, it hadda be ...
Things Jack Lemmon does that make me crazy with lust / giddy with love:
1. the excited nasal spray squirt in The Apartment
2. the maracas dance in Some Like It Hot
3. the soundless tantrum in The Out Of Towners
4. the 'fnah fnah!' in The Odd Couple
5. the way he cradles the side of a woman's face before he kisses her in My Sister Eileen
6. the humming and the cha-cha-ing in The Apartment
7. the way he'll start talking to where he thinks a person is and, still talking, turns to where the person actually is
8. the 'my a-- my nose!' self-correction in The Front Page
9. the manic air freshener spraying in The Odd Couple
10. the way he bounces off the camera in Days Of Wine And Roses even though that's totally not funny
11. the head jerking in time to the accounting machine in The Apartment which is TOTALLY NOT IN THE SCRIPT!
12. the way his voice goes all low and slightly slurry and sardonic when he gets all fascinated with Betty Garrett in My Sister Eileen
13. the putting of the telephone mouthpiece into the drawer in The Front Page
14. the way he pulls his nightie down over his knees in Some Like It Hot
15. the total straight face he maintains to every lewd thing Burgess Meredith says in Grumpy Old Men
16. the way he cracks up when Walter Matthau fumbles a line and says the f-word in Grumpy Old Men
17. the frightened start and immediate scurry when Walter Matthau appears next to him in The Odd Couple
18. the running in heels in Some Like It Hot
19. every single gorgeous delirious toecurling moment of him singing and seducing Betty Garrett in My Sister Eileen
20. that SONG he sings in My Sister Eileen ... nnnnggghhhhh! *toes curl*
Bonus late addition: the omigod dorky perfectionism of him playing and singing with Dinah Shore! *squeeee*
I so need an icon. Oh god, do I need an icon.
Why are there no awesome Lemmon icons on LJ?
*wails*
And can I say: quite inadvertantly, I happened to give Arushka his birthday ... Ha.
