Tom Goes To The Birthday Party
Actor Tom Noonan turns 60 years old today. If you have never seen the short film Tom Goes to the Bar, please give yourself ten uninterrupted minutes in which to view it. I cannot convey how special it was during its moment, and how special it remains.
Thanks for this. Much needed.
Someone needs to let Dean Parisot direct another movie. GALAXY QUEST is great.
Even better than that scene in "Crocodile Dundee."
(Really great. And I had never seen. Thanks, Balk.)
Wow. I guess I never realized Tom Noonan was That Guy. But he is.
He's like the That Guy of That Guys.
How could this post neglect to mention the EXCELLENT films that Noonan himself directed? What Happened Was… and The Wife are both classics. I highly recommend people seek them out, though it might be tricky outside of the torrent world. They kick the crap out of this short and Galaxy Quest, for that matter.
@ADAMHUGHES@twitter It is true, they kick the crap out of Galaxy Quest. Highly recommended!
I was so happy to watch this again, and then I got to the end and saw that it was edited by Sally Menke, and that made me sad all over.
I'd imagine Tom Noonan's birthday party would involve binding and gagging all his guests and forcing them to witness his transformation.
@keisertroll Ride with me. It would be because, I want you to.
Also, eight more days until Tony Danza's 60th birthday. I'd also celebrate my dad's 60th birthday on that date, but celebrating someone not named Tony would confuse Danza.
