My friend @mrscrappy congratulated me for making the cover of the Post Gazette’s Friday movie magazine.
Huh? Is there something about Andy Kaufman? I’m planning to dress as him for Halloween. (Btw, thanks to Dad for hooking me up with a 1979 sport coat, a turtleneck, and an ugly sweater in advance of the holiday party scene!)
Anyway, here’s how I made the Post-Gazette
The PG big review this week is of the latest Coen brothers movie.
The newest, and perhaps strangest, film from Oscar-winning writer-directors Joel and Ethan Coen is a Jewish shaggy dog story of one man’s desperate search for clarity in a foggy universe with near-zero visibility. As such, it’s a brilliantly black-comic parable plumbing the depths of mortality and immortality, with Jefferson Airplane supplying the unlikely soundtrack and un-Judaic brackets to their parable.
This half-Irish half-Polish kid totally looks Jewish in these glasses.
You know, I saw that this morning and thought of you instantly, also.
It would be interesting to see if he’s a similar character to your own charming self.
Our similarities in ethnic background are most impressive.
@jennie – Looks to me lke he has a pretty likable everyman kind of disposition.
@Woy – That explains why you and I are both so similarly handsome!
This half Irish half Irish gal still doesn’t think you hike your pants up quite that high IRL.
