Harry Dean Stanton is one of my 5 favorite living male actors. Ched has a link to a video of HD playing guitar with BD. When I saw that I thought, Hey, I love Harry Dean.
Speaking of the movies, I took both of the Sneedlets to see Shrek the Third today. I liked it more than they did, I'm afraid. Like many kid's movies, the writers were trying to be a bit too cute for small kids. They did enjoy it though.
Both of the Sneedlets are at my house now. They are a rambunctious pair. They are at the age where they rough-house a lot. This usually ends in someone hurting the other, sending both crying to me. A moment ago they bumped heads, sending up caterwauls. The accusations flew about who did what to whom. Now they are back to playing.
As Art Linkletter observed, kids say the darnedest things. Sneedlet One and I were at Dillards department store today and he belted out, "Stronger whiskey and weaker women's what I say." a line from one of the cowboy songs he has memorized. Makes a grandfather proud.
Oh, and the four other actors I really like are, Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman, Robert Duvall, William Macy, Kevin Spacey, Al Pacino, Dennis Hopper, Michael Caine, James Earl Jones. Is that four yet?

I saw HDS in concert when he was only 75. Now he's about 89.
He is not 89.
is he?
em... that video you mentioned? I was drunk and had the giggles until my sides ached just before we got started.
Those Sneedlets! What will they be up to next?
He is actually 81 or will be this year.
why don't you ever take care of MY kids? They could be Sneedlets!
Excellent choice of actors by the way.
I'm always afraid Dennis Hopper is really just playing himself.
LOVE the quip from the Sneedlet. You never know what kids are absorbing, and where they'll choose to voice that new vocabulary!
Also loved the post office story. I've decided I'm going to switch all my bill-paying to online, now that the rates have gone up again. I am not paying more than 40 cents to mail a letter. I've hit my ceiling.
By which I mean my price ceiling...not my actual, physical ceiling.
I love Michael Caine too
and I have loved Morgan Freeman since his "Easy Writer" days on that pbs kid show --
I like Gary Cooper best of all, but he isn't alive.
