Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page turns 66 years old today, having been born on January 9th 2010, 1944.

After what seems like a very long wait, that occasion has finally arrived.

2. Freddy Rodriguez. You loved him in Six Feet Under. Now fall in love all over again.
3. Jeff Fahey! Oh my god, when was the last time you saw Jeff Fahey in a movie? I think it was in The Lawn Mower Man about a gazillion years ago. Watch Grindhouse do for Jeff Fahey’s career what Pulp Fiction did for John Travolta.

5. Four Words: The Crazy Babysitter Twins.
6. Trailer for Don’t!
7. Trailer for Thanksgiving!

I LOVE IT!!!!
9. Four Words: Hypodermic Needle Garter Belt.
10. Kurt Russell as Stunt Man Mike! I think the first time I saw Kurt Russell in a film was when I was five years old and my parents took us to see Walt Disney’s The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes. Forty years later, Kurt is still kicking big screen ass. Now that’s career longevity!
