Good afternoon fellow browncoats

Just felt like updating my log here because I’ve just watched an uplifting little dvd comedy. It was called “Drillbit Taylor” and stars Owen Wilson as a down and out homeless freeloader trying to get a few hundred bucks so that he can make his way outta town. I normally don’t pick up and watch random comedies and I didn’t this time either. It was my older son’s idea and I thought spending some quality tv watching time with him would be good for both of us. As it turned out it was very good.
As the story goes, 3 young boys are starting high school and are constantly being threatened and beat up by the high school bullies. They begin a search to find someone and with payment use them as protector (sound familiar, AB My Bodyguard 1980)

During the course of the interviews for bodyguard, at one point there sitting across from the 3 is no one else but Mr. Jayne Cobb himself, I laughed out loud. See spoiler below if you want.

.Adam Baldwin has a cameo as a bodyguard being interviewed. During the interview, he comments on how stupid it is for a bodyguard to protect kids from bullies, while wearing an identical costume to the one he wore in the movie My Bodyguard (1980) (where he played a bodyguard to protect a fellow student from a bully).

It was very funny and unexpected and shows Mr. Baldwin still has a real sense of humor. After the show was over I was able to get my son to watch “ Jaynestown” with me. Kind of a con I know but it worked and I think he enjoy the show more than he will admit. I heard him laugh a couple times so that made me feel good.

Anyhoo, its been a good night.

Z, out
