Cool Water / Tim Blake Nelson
Ever been watching a Movie and you recognize somebody in the Movie, but you can’t remember who he/she is? – or where you saw them before? Happens to me all the time. I usually remember before the Movies’s over, but not always – and this will nag at me (like a Gila Monster chewing on a scorpion) for the whole Movie.
That might happen to you in Old Henry.
Yeah … I knew I’d seen Nelson recently. But where???
Couldn’t place him.
See if you can figure it out before this post is finished.
(Bet you won’t get it.)
Tim Blake Nelson … sorta like Clint Eastwood … without the good looks.
Tim Blake Nelson in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs / 2018
I didn’t.
Next:
Old Henry / The Cast / Stephen Dorff
Not only did I remember him for Buster Scruggs, but also from O Brother Where Art Thou.
I still crack up every time I think of his line ‘We thought you were a toad’.
Nice work. Your prize in the mail Don … a Gila Monster chewing on a scorpion. Careful.
I bet NOBODY else gets it though, but I did drop a hint with the song.
