Manhattan through Spiritual, Southern, Single eyes

Quote

O make me Thine forever;
And, should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
Out live my love to Thee.

Brothers don't shake hands, brothers gotta hug!!

I just saw this NY Daily News Article and thought I'd share it with you all. I was one of those fans mentioned below waiting in line for the screening of Step Brothers with no idea that I'd get to meet Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly this past Monday night. This theater is only a few blocks from my apartment. The movie is ridiculous and so incredibly funny but sadly much more crude than I expected. All I have to say is, "Your voice is a voice of an angel. A combination of Fergie and Jesus."

PS On a sad note, I'm sad we lost Sophia from the Golden Girls this week. She was such a feisty little woman!

Ferrell and Reilly feel the 'Brother'-ly love

Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly gave fans waiting in line at the AMC Loews Lincoln Square Theater a treat Monday night when they strolled by on their way to a Maxim mag screening of their new comedy, "Step Brothers." And it may not be the last time moviegoers see the duo side by side.

"If we could continue to find stuff to do together, we wouldn't say no," Ferrell told us at the Empire Hotel after-party. Added Reilly: "I've pitched will a few things. like the Medellin cartel. But we can't decide who's going to play [drug czar Pablo] Escobar."

"That's the only thing!" Ferrell laughed.

Until then, the outrageously funny "Step Brothers" chronicles two 40-year-old-men who are forced to live together with their newly married parents. So when did Ferrell and Reilly leave the nest?

"I was about 18," Reilly said. Admitted Ferrell: "I was 24. I went to college, then moved back home for three years." So did art imitate life? "Yeah, a little bit," smiled Ferrell. "I stole my mother's beer and buried it in the earth."

"I used to leave wet towels on the floor in the bathroom. That drove my mom batty," Reilly recalls. Since the duo enjoys a massive following in the frat community, we asked about their weirdest male fan experience. Said Ferrell: "when i ran in the Boston Marathon, I actually had people running up next to me with beer bongs and offering me shot - all this crazy stuff. And no, i didn't take any of it."
