Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand.

I'm going to copycat Mike and talk about Cool Hand Luke, because it really is an amazing film and I want an excuse to post the below clip. Besides being positively overflowing with deliciously redirected religious symbolism, it is also, in my expert opinion, Paul Newman's Sweatiest Movie. Which also reminds me to say that it was very sad to wake up last Saturday morning and hear that he had gone.

You know. I forgot to mention that Paul Newman is half jew and half italian. Just like me. Maybe I'm related to him or something.

Nah, you can't be related to him or then it's weird if you fancy him.

And come on. Who doesn't fancy him?

MikejGrey said...

I fancy his sauce.



ZING!

I know.

I apologize slightly.

Paul Newman was also #19 on Nixon's enemy list.

All the more reason to love the man behind the cookies.

MikejGrey said...

Also, I somehow doubt we'll hear from footprints today. Normally they would have called or emailed by now.
