OK, I an overwhelmed: I'll go see a goddamn Cohen, Coen (or is it Cohan - He could be Irish!) film. Please give me names of (say) the top three.

1. The Big Lebowski
2. Insufferable Cruelty (might still be in the theaters; you'll like this one if you like K.Hepburn/S.Tracy movies)
3. Oh Brother, Where Art Though?

Approximately in this order

Our friend's daughter married a Cohen, and he's not Jewish. Wink

Steve the football hooligan indeed!

I am only a hooligan, Blatham, on a2k. And only then in a most thoughtful and considerate manner.

Well clearly "The Big Lebowski" and "Oh Brother Where art Thou" seem to top everyone's lists. (I'm also inclined to follow Thomas' lead 'cause he's smarter than I am.)

You know I have NEVER even heard of these guys or any of their films. Remarkable ! Perhaps that is a good indicator of just how out of touch I am (Though, I find it it pleasant enough where I am).

I really hate to take advice, or (worse) to accept ideas not my own. I hope some here appreciate what I am doing.

Yes.

(And that there is the colour 'BLUE' in football as a dominating factor as well! Laughing )

By the way, I'm not sure I like that word "hooligan". I believe it started as an English ethnic slur against the Irish!

I admit I haven't. Will see if I can find it in my nearby video store.

I'm still a bit worried about you, too, George! Laughing

I'll stand by my usual position on such matters:

"I may not agree with what you say but I will defend, to the death, your right to say it".

Main Entry: hoo·li·gan
Pronunciation: 'hü-li-g&n

Etymology: perhaps from Patrick Hooligan fl1898 Irish hoodlum in Southwark, London

Pete, so you defend his right to call me a hooligan? Now which crappy football team did you say you followed?

Oh Yeah? Well you're soon "gooner" get thrashed in the Cup.
You lookin at someone pal? Want some?

[ Laughing ]

Actually I think Arsenal will probably win quite easily. The Old Trafford Empire is declining and falling rather quickly. I blame that silly cow Victoria Beckham. And a stupid horse that won too much.
