But then there are the Cohen brothers, who made one of my all time favorite films, O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU?

I've tried to like their movies, but just can't. They have so many elements in them that I like, but when whatever film finishes I just feel unsatisfied.

Just watched one of the Coen brothers movies I'd not heard of before (The Ballad of Buster Scruggs). Didn't know it was one of theirs until near the end, but I got the same kind of feeling I'd gotten from their other movies. Anyway, if you are a fan and have not seen it, then it might be worth checking out.

On a completely different note, I was reading this earlier and thought it might interest a few people on here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-38663043. It is a by the numbers break down on how trump has done in his first two years, comparing what he has achieved thus far against previous recent presidents.

Remember Tiananmen Square and the guy who stood in front of the tanks and who hasn't been seen since?

Ever wondered what happened to the tank crew who didn't just run him over?

I feel the same way, I mean, dam-OH BROTHER,is a rip-off-and not very subtle- of the WIZARD OF OZ.
It's like-"Oh brother... :lookingup:"
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)
Interviewer-"Does Dracula ever end for you?
Lugosi-"No. Dracula-never ends."

Actually, it's a retelling of Homer's ODYSSEY, scene by scene.  Just set to music in 1930's Mississippi.

Was the show Friends popular because people actually thought it was funny, or because it appealed to the fantasy of having adult friends?

I think it was never popular. Everyone lied about watching it and the viewing figures were faked. Huge conspiracy.

I have decided I like the word buffoon and will now endeavour to use it at least once a day. I suppose it is more acceptable in polite society than my previous phrase of the day (You cum gargling cock womble!)

Just replied to an email from someone offering advertising services, and it was rejected as probable spam.

Checked my email address and it was not blacklisted anywhere.

That suggests to me that, since I quoted the text they wrote, the sender's email account is identifying their own messages as spam.

Don't think I'll be doing business with them.

When I went to Italy in 2003, I saw a dubbed version of OBWAT on the local TV station: all I heard on the soundtrack was "Si, signori, si signori..."  :teddyr:

Wonder if I could get a Guardians of the Galaxy and Firefly crossover?
