Let's all wish a very Happy Birthday to...

I got this picture from ron-howard-news.newslib.com

Mr. Ron Howard. I think he should be Sir Ron Howard by now, but notpooers will honor him this day, and that's better than some old British thing, right? It's hard to find a good picture of him, for his was not a face to be admired, but a face to be listened to for direction to make a good movie. This is the best one I could find.

Anyway, let's honor Mr. Ron Howard today for his contributions to the world of media as we know it. He made a bunch of good movies that you've probably seen, like A Beautiful Mind (2001), How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), Cocoon (1985), The Da Vinci Code (2006) (which was pretty good), Far and Away (1992), Apollo 13 (1995), and holy crap he's made a lot of good movies. I could go on and on; who of us didn't like Splash (1984) or Backdraft (1990), or Willow (1988)?? For the love of Pete, I can't believe he made Willow! He produced The 'Burbs (1989) which is one of my favorite movies and Curious George (2006), which is one of my favorite soundtracks.

Recently, he supported the best show on television, Arrested Development, which I think took both good sense, guts, and a well-honed sense of humor. We like that show at my house.

He said, "I really believe that great creative ideas will find their way to the surface." Let us all ponder upon that thought.

Friends, let us give credit where credit is due. Ron Howard, we salute you.

There was some reason that I didn't like Ron Howard, but I've forgotten what it was, so I'll gladly take the occasion to celebrate his accomplishments. Kudos, Mr. Howard!; Thu Mar 01, 11:45:00 PM
