Thanks, mom.

DAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Happy Birthday!!! I wanted to get you a restored copy of OUT 1 on DVD, but alas…
Happy Birthday, GK! I have Joe Swanberg popping out of a cake while Richard Kelly sings “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” tomorrow at noon so, for the love of Christ, be home.
Happy birthday, Glenn.
I will be 50 on Monday, Aug. 10 (and so will Rosanna Arquette). Let us know how your birthday goes.
Interesting how many film critics were born in ’59: you, Mick LaSalle, Owen Gleiberman, David Edelstein. Probably more. Must have been something in the air or water that year.
I try not to comment unless I feel have something new to add to a conversation. Alas, I do not.
Happy birthday, Glenn. The missus and I wish you well.
“Rife with cheap sentimentality, Mr. Kenny’s baby photo lacks much of the wit and sophistication of his later work. Nonetheless, as a depiction of his formative year, it is of mild historical interest.”
Happy Birthday Sr. Kenny, from two blocks away from your old home!
Happy Birthday, Glenn! Here’s to many more years.
Happy birthday, Glenn! Here’s to several dozen more!
And it’s a Happy Birthday to you, Glenn. So did you get the Chewbacca action figure and Wonder Woman costume you asked for?
I think mom is saying, “What da fuck is uuuuuuuuupppppppp??!!!” Happy day, Mr. K.
cheers, Glenn!
Have a happy one…
@ JC: “Au contraire. The seemingly unfeigned earnestness of the image is legitimately moving, its sentimentality tempered by the layers of distancing artifice that are obvious on close inspection. The blurry gauziness of the tableau is clearly something of an homage on the part of the unseen photographer, perhaps to the early work of Seurat.”
Have a great one, Glenn. I beat you to the half-century mark by just over six weeks. Go ahead, remind me anytime you like.
50 is the new 42.
Happy Birthday!
@JF: Heh…nice. 🙂
So say we all! (Been watching Battlestar Galactica again).
Happy Birthday Glenn, all the best.
Happy B-Day, GK.
Kawaaaaaaiiii!
Happy Birthday, Glenn.
Happy birthday! Older, maybe, but less blurry.
Very sweet. Happy Birthday! (a day late)
Happy (if belated) birthday greetings from the other side of the pond!
Happy belated, as well! All the best!
Happy Birthday, Glenn. Fun fact: I started reading your reviews when you said nice things about The Crow.
