I've always enjoyed a good Con. From The Sting to shows like Switch and The Feather and Father Gang (I still can't see of Harold Gould without wondering what devious co
n he's planning and what guilty party is going to pay), I love a con. When Stefanie Zimbalist teamed up with Pierce Brosnan for Remington Steele, well, I thought they'd found the ultimate con man. I loved The Heist, not just because Brosnan was in it but Tom Skerrit played a great windbag waiting to be pierced and the twist at the end? Priceless.
I mention all of this because today, Google is honoring René Magritte's 110th birthday, and the Google logo looks like this:
And that central o image, from the well known portrait, The Son of Man, is actually a key plot point in the movie The Thomas Crown Affair. Which, while not my favorite Brosnan movie, is my favorite of his Cons.
Just thought I'd share.
