      1. I can imagine someone recording a cover version of a well-known song by Cream, calling it Sunshine On Your Butt in honour of Josh–ahem–Broilin’.

      2. Clipe: Some of the comments remind me of a joke that went around our school back in the 1960’s.
        Our grade 12 teacher during ”Christian Ethics” was warning us that if guys got caught in a homosexual relationship, they could be charged and jailed. One of the boys spoke out asking, ”What will they be charged with??” Another guy blurted out, ”Arson!!”

    1. What happened to his nether regions might explain his performance in No Country For Old Men, one of the most boring and over-rated movies I’ve ever seen. He looked like he was perpetually in pain and his dialog consisted largely of grunting his words.

      It escapes me how that rubbish managed to get an Oscar for Best Picture.

      1. The movie “There Will Be Blood” with Daniel Day Lewis (best Actor winner in that picture, 2008) should’ve won best picture that year imo. I didn’t see the other nominees but the directors of “No Country For Old Men” were Ethan and Joel Coen. Imo that’s why the latter movie won best picture, because of them, that is.

        (The movies are only as good as the writers of course) The Coen bros hadn’t done anything as good as “Fargo” in ’96 and “The Big Lebowski ’98 although they did a lot in the interim. I’m no expert but I admit I do watch the Oscars every year since the ’60s and try to see the winners after the fact.

        1. I found There Will Be Blood to be even worse. Daniel Day-Lewis never changed his facial expression in the entire movie.

          Then again, what do I know? I’ve never been in a movie theatre in more than 25 years and I haven’t liked anything that Hollywood produced since, say, Master and Commander.

          1. Right. Actually there weren’t any good movies that year, the other choices were “Atonement”, ” Juno” and “Michael Clayton”. I still haven’t seen them! The cable companies are not really showing them as much as they used to, ie within a year or two. I still haven’t seen “Slumdog Millionaire” — to heck with it now!

            There aren’t that many great flicks anymore. I agree with you; “Master and Commander” was good.

            Nothing like TCM eh? The old stuff. I saw ” Coogan’s Bluff” and “Lost in Space” this evening on a new channel called Silver Screen Classics. “Lost in Space” was funny–glanced at it on mute while listening to music. It was so childish but had some interesting avant guard & quirky inventions.

          2. I thought Juno to be juvenile and Ellen Page to be over-rated as an actress. Michael Clayton was under-whelming, but, then, the only movie I liked George Clooney in was Three Kings.

            I tried watching Slumdog Millionaire on the old Encore Avenue but I switched it off after about half an hour.

            Take a look at TCM’s Noir Alley, which comes on around 10 PM Saturday nights or 8 AM Sunday mornings. This weekend, it’s the one and only The Big Sleep with Bogey and Bacall (forget the 1970s remake with Robert Mitchum–it’s terrible).

          3. @1:38 B A
            I think I’ve see all of Bogey and Bacall’s movies.
            Haven’t tuned into TCM much lately. Will check them out this W/E.

            (I read Bacall’s autobiography years ago. Bogey and Bacall were so in love. After he died she had an affair with Sinatra who was their pal, and he disappointed her because of his inattentive nature)

        2. As a serious Coen Bro’s fan, I rank ‘A Serious Man’ as their best work ever ( followed by ‘Burn After Reading’).
          A Serious Man:

          Regarding the more serious topic of exposing one’s perineum to natural sunlight, one can only say that if anyone in Canada is so inclined, they should visit the nearest tanning salon, and file a complaint with the vaunted/various HRC’s if bummed out.

          1. I’ve found the Coens to be far too eccentric for my liking, though I did like Fargo and The Big Lebowski. But, then, I prefer the directing style of someone like John Ford, particularly his westerns with John Wayne.

          2. I like them too because of “Fargo” and “The Big Lebowski”. Its time that I see the ones you wrote about , they look good. These guys are definitely edgy. I like that. They mix violence with comedy, hard to do well.

    2. I thought the lyrics went “don’t let your son go down on me”?

      Fair warning considering the artists’ preferences.

  1. Next up for Josh Brolin: Yummy yummy Tide Pods.

    Because common sense just ain’t that common.

    1. Like that kid who, apparently, swallowed an AirPod or something like that. I caught a new item about it. He had to be carted off to hospital. Well, duh!

  2. lol !!!
    ah well, at least he was honest and open about the burn.
    I got slight sunburn on my wick once, I guess the material of my new bathing suit was, umm, thinner than usual.
    and I did not apply sunscreen there.

    hint: when trying brand new stuff, creep up on it slowly and in increments.
    do NOT for instance, attempt to set a speed record *first time out* (Titanic)
    etc etc.
