Who's the Silver Fox?

MARTIN MCDONAGH that’s who!


In an attempt to stray from my academic endeavors (aka, writing a bunch of term papers on Irish cinema and drama) I have taken to oogling at the very lovely man that is Martin McDonagh.

You can’t deny his appeal, interwebs. You just can’t.
It all started quite innocently, I swear. We’ve been talking about him in class for the past few weeks, and naturally the attractive jokes/comments began to arise from the female students.

And then I started writing my paper on The Pillowman (only one of the best plays ever. and I mean ever.) My intentions were strictly studious until I started researching essays in the lovely book that is “Martin McDonagh, A World of Savage Stories.”
I feel like my infatuation with him could eventually pose a problem to my academic focus, but until I start to develop a strong guilt complex, I am going to marvel in the lovely man that is an aesthetic combination of Anderson Cooper and James Dean.
Check him out.
