August 17 - Feet, De Niro & Brian

 In 1979, to a ton of criticism - just because they were a troop of characters who pushed every boundary - Monty Python released their "LIFE OF BRIAN" epic movie.

Graham Chapman playing the role of Brian, the hapless person who unwittingly becomes the messiah in a huge Christianity spoof of the life of Jesus.  

I laughed the whole way through it the first time I watched it, and still do.  Such hilarity, gentlemen... well done.

Speaking of acting, not so much a 'funny guy', playing someone you definitely wouldn't want to cross is Robert De Niro.

He turns 78 today.  How many movies has he played an amazing role in, Vito Corleone (The Godfather II), Frank "The Irishman" (The Irishman), Jack Byrnes (Meet the Parents), Louis Gara (Jackie Brown), Max Cady (Cape Fear)... so many roles.

All of this on "Love Your Feet Day".  


Maybe it was from that scene in Life of Brian where he loses his sandal and walks barefoot... who knows how these days come about.
