As any old folkie knows, the trio of chaps performing in Aran sweaters in the Coen brothers' latest offering are reminiscent not of Peter, Paul and Mary, but of the Clancy Brothers (Coen brothers' offering is music to critics' ears, 20 May). While trying to break into acting in New York, the three would spend convivial hours in the late-night bars in Greenwich Village, which were also frequented by now legendary folk singer/songwriters such as Dave Van Ronk and Bob Dylan. Echoes of their Irish traditional songs can be detected in some of Dylan's compositions. The tune of their traditional song The Parting Glass is particularly recognisable in one of Dylan's early songs. When the three brothers became professional and very popular folk singers – along with their countryman, the great Tommy Makem – their mother, worrying about her boys' health in the freezing New York winters, sent them the thick Aran sweaters which became their trademark.

Zach Galifianakis arrived at the premiere of “The Hangover Part III” on Monday night amid a throng of fans shrieking his name. “There’s a lot of Alan in it,” he reassured about his character's place in the film. “Hopefully he can sustain a movie. We will see.”

ABC, NBC and CBS are all expanding their prime-time broadcast news Tuesday evening for more coverage of the Oklahoma tornado tragedy.

I'm an activity coordinator for a non-profit organization: I work with a low-income apartment complex, doing events and activities and community building stuff. I am doing a Father's Day movie night (we had a huge blow up screen, sound system and projector donated to us for the evening), but I need to find a good movie!!! It HAS to be G or PG, because it's an activity for the kids to bring their dads to. I would like for it to entertain the dads as well, so maybe something actiony would be good? I'm at a loss, does anyone have any ideas?! Thank you!! submitted by BanditTheFox [link] [12 comments]
