Huh? Anyone who doesn't love that movie is a toad.

“Do not seek the treasure.”
Rex Reed reminds me of the bad part of a hangover.
“I thought you wuz a toooad?”
I was teaching a Greek poetry course when the film “Oh Brother Where Art Thou?” first came out. I immediately took up Homer’s “The Odyssey” to take advantage of the movie.
I have the dvd, saw it at the theater and on television many times. I have worn out the cd in my car, the only place I can play it and K refuses to ride with me if she knows it is on of the cds to be played.
Tim Blake Nelson’s “I’m In the Jailhouse Now” is the highlight of the movie. K and I flew to Norfolk to attend the concert “Down From the Mountain” with John Hartford, Emmy Lou Harris and Allison Krause with my son and daughter in law. They bought the tickets.
Say hi to Kay for me.
In Greek.

I am looking forward to his upcoming movie Up In The Air.
In the last 12 months I have flown over 120,000 miles (7 trans-Atlantic, two long-haul inter-Continentals and 4 trans-continentals, a handful of mid-continentals. In a perverted kind of way I have become addicted to flying and am looking forward my next flight.
It has gotten to the point that I walk to to the check-in and they great me by name. In fact, Mrs Gamecock took a flight a couple weeks ago and they asked if she knew me.
One thing I have learned is that once you cross certain mileage thresholds the airlines start treating you much better than if you only fly a couple of times a year, to include showering you with free upgrades and other wonderful things!
Anyway, I can almost understand the Clooney character's fascination with frequent flying.
Wow. What a year you had. And now thankfully you’re back with us.
Here’s an interesting article on the movie from “Vanity Fair” —
It does look like a good story. From a book, apparently.

Reed’s just ticked he never got thrown out of Woolworths.
Portions of this were filmed at the Albuquerque Shooting Range, they really made it lok like a military camp.
Am I the only woman alive who can’t stand Clooney? He makes me want to vomit.He’s such a douche,and really isn’t that great-looking. You want a REAL actor? Check out Bob Gunton. He is one of the best I’ve ever seen,AND he served in Vietnam. Eat that,Clooney!
