Bud Cort has just come back from Ringo Starr's birthday breakfast. He has known Ringo for a while he says. "He's a dear friend and he's my dog's godfather."

So basically you’re Bud Cort and I’m Groucho Marx. Sounds accurate enough.

I <3 Harold and Maude

(I think that might be the only movie with Bud Cort in it that I've ever seen though)

edit: I've seen The Life Aquatic, didn't notice him there although wikipedia says he was in that too

He was great in Life Aquatic. I love that movie. Harold and Maude is one of my all time favorites. I've probably seen it 30+ times and I have the book!

It's a great movie. I might rewatch it soon. I saw it on t.v. when I was 16. That was my intro into Cat Steven's.

likewise I don't remember Bud in LA either.I might have to checkout Brewster McCloud, sounds kinda interesting.

If you haven't seen the movie M*A*S*H, watch it. If you've avoided it because of the corny TV show, don't - the movie is nothing like the show.

Cort turns in a solid performance.

I don't know how you can miss Bud Cort in Life Aquatic. He is the insurance adjuster or whatever that gets kidnapped by the pirates and it's hilarious.

You haven’t seen M*A*S*H? (Hasn’t aged particularly well, but still.)

But yeah. Harold & Maude is a beautiful movie that’s good for the soul and gets better with every viewing.

I'm not sure that's a fair statement about M*A*S*H. Certainly morals (particularly attitudes about women) have evolved a great deal since the Korean war (or even 1970 when it was filmed for that matter), but the state of morality at the time isn't the movie's fault.

only the TV show. Not big on war movies

M*A*S*H isn't really a war movie - at least not in the typical sense. The Korean war provides the backdrop - kind of like Casa Blanca and WWII.
