The Forgotten and Deserving Coen Brothers film Catherine Zeta Jones Files for Divorce
Personally, and I'll go right out and say it...she reminds me of the first woman Bruce Springsteen married. Remember her name? Nope. An actress. Again, I have no idea of the irreconcilable differences between Catherine and Liberace...but I hope they can work it out.
Lost at the time, as it appeared to be yet another cruddy romantic comedy…guess what folks? It's a COEN BROTHERS MOVIE and it is great. A gift. It's like being given a present you couldn't even imagine.. FULL of Coen brothers odd film angles, weird perspectives, outrageous characters… and every bit as funny as the Dude's dream.
By the way...Inside Llewyn Davis isn't the first film making use of a folksinger by the brothers. Let's just say Paul Simon songs appears on the soundtrack. Often. Repeatedly. Hilariously.
Watch it while you wait for Inside Llewyn Davis.
You'll thank me.
Buck Barry Singing Cowboy of WOOD TV
Buck Barry Singing Cowboy of WOOD TV
Every town with a television station had their own local celebrities, and they still do. The local weatherman is still recognized when he goes to the mall, and local broadcasters still make their appearances at local food festivals and such. My local celeb as a boy was Buck Barry. Check out the primitive "cowboy style double B brand" signature!
I've found two pieces of Buck Barry detritus since moving back to Michigan and each brought a smile, as I was on Buck's afternoon show along with the other members of my cub scout troop. How my (Den) mother arranged for it is a mystery now, but it was just one of the things she did while raising me which I have learned to appreciate. No, I did not "buck up" in cowboy drag like the little buckaroos here…I wore my cub scout uniform, and remember being terrified to lead the pledge of allegiance at the start of the show.
Buck Joseph Barry was a singing cowboy with Gene Autry Credentials. He was born in 1917 and rode with the Col. Tim McCoy Wild West Show starting in 1938. He landed a radio gig on WOOD radio which eventually led to his afternoon television show. He often yodeled on the show and played a sunburst Gibson while doing it. He recorded one 45 rpm with The Countrymen and gave a lesson on the flip side.
The Cowboy revival band "Riders in the Sky" have a special relationship with Buck's memory…Fred "Too Slim" LaBour who plays bass in for the band is a Grand Rapids native and credits Buck with their yodeling.
The Buckaroo Rodeo ran for nearly 15 years on WOOD-TV out of Grand Rapids.
The Grand Rapids Public Museum, who mounted a Buck Berry exhibit in 1997, provides the studio set photograph above. More information on Buck is HERE and his wiki is HERE
Buck is buried in Texas.

Veteran News Photographer Kent Murdock in the Very First Graphic Novel Illustrations by Robert Stanley
Striking illustrations by Robert Stanley, who also did many of the covers for Dell's much-loved Mapback series, and the book was also published as one.
George Harmon Coxe created the character, and Kent Murdock was not his only crime shutterbug. He also created crime photographer Jack Casey. (AKA "Flashgun Casey")
Kent used his fists more than his camera, but he is always in the darkroom. The graphic novel is great, but the movie is the kind I haven't been able to sit through since college, when pot made any movie watchable.
Hardboiled, but soft back.
Four Frightened Woman by George Harmon Coxe (A Kent Murdoch Murder Mystery) illustrated by Robert Stanley 1950 Dell "Told in Pictures" book.

Who Owns this Lingerie Photo taken by Stanley Kubrick?
Who owns the rights to filmmaker Stanley Kubrick's photograph of a lingerie model apparently being judged harshly by the office manager? I'm happy to provide the answer below. While I'm not a lawyer, it appears WE did for a time, but then someone stepped in and said the Kubrick estate owns it. Some 90 or so images Kubrick took for Look Magazine were given to the Library of Congress. I have absolutely no idea whether I can legally show this image in the amazing digital form now responsible for destroying the concept of ownership on a massive scale...
Some twenty years ago, I read that if "current statistical and demographic trends" continue, by a certain date every one of us would be either a lawyer or an Elvis impersonator. The prediction seems to have become half true.
Anyway, I would love to settle the matter for you, so I will posit a solution. If you would like to make a refrigerator magnet of of the model's tummy-shaper. I think you can only if you are using it for non-commercial purposes. You can make as many of them as you like, but you have to give them away.
I gave up counting how many times this image has appeared online.
