Botch. Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 As part of my Mechanical Engineering degree I'd taken several courses in metallurgy from a very old professor. One day he introduced us to, HIS FATHER!! The guy was 93 years old and was going to show us how to make a chain from 5" steel rods using a hammer, anvil, and a manually-powered blast furnace. Didn't take him long, either, definitely a lost art and one I'm glad I got to at least watch in person!

www.prometheus-design.com Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 I started as an art 3D major in college. I worked with a lot of mediums, metal being one. I love to cast stuff and make wrought iron frames for my stained glass windows. Made a 10' ornate chain for a chandelier once. I like metals cause they aren't "artsy fartsy." Only real men (and woman) work with hammers! Or so I like to think. PD :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedster Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 We thought you was a horny toad! Was it just me, or did anyone else see a lot of the old Clark Gable persona in Clooney's delivery in that flick? "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wewus432 Posted March 25, 2002 Author Share Posted March 25, 2002 You are so right Tedsteer. You amaze me with you're insights. O Brother was one of the first movies where I thought Clooney actually acted. I mean most of his other movies he was playing that same character that he played on ER just speaking different lines. Even The Perfect Storm where he did stretch a little bit, he still seemed like the doc on a fishing boat to me, but in O Brother there was real dramatic/comedic acting. Well sir we are negroes all exceptin' for our accompa-accompt-accompta-the fella that plays guI- tar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Jew Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 [quote]Gopher? CMDN [/quote]Why yes, Cap'n Stubing... I'll see you on the Lido Deck. I loved [i]O Brother Where Art Thou?[/i]. In fact, I bought a copy. I definitely thought Clooney hit thet whole Gable/Bogart thing in this movie, but my favorite charcters in the whole flick were John Tuturro and John Goodman. Then again, those two are always amazing -- especially in [i]The Beig Lebowski[/i], which is an AMAZINGLY quotable Coen Bros. film as well. \m/ Erik "To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." --Sun Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roto Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 How's my hair?! I would buy this movie, but has anybody noticed the lack of extras on Coen brothers' DVDs? I hesitate to buy any DVD that isn't a "Special Edition" or Collectors Edition" because inevitably within a year they rerelease it as a 2 disc set :mad: (Almost Famous, Close Encounters, Independance Day just off the top of my head). And I would love to have Raising Arizona, Fargo, Lebowski, O Brother, or just about any of their other movies with full length director's commentary. As George said, "I don't want FOP, God damn it!

So many actors butcher that one. If you can't do it, don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
