During Josh Brolin’s opening monologue on Saturday Night Live‚ he admitted that hosting the late-night comedy sketch was like taking an ice bath — and he proceeded to demonstrate his claim. “You know I’ve been doing cold plunges for 20 years‚ right? And the only thing I can compare this show to is that. I mean‚ hosting is like jumping into an ice bath‚” he said while unbuttoning his shirt. The audience cheered as a crew member filled a nearby tin bathtub with cold water‚ and Josh Brolin got ready for the plunge. “Scary‚ it’s exhilarating‚ your penis is in your stomach. There’s just no way to prepare for it‚” the 56-year-old explained as he took off his pants.

I mean‚ so much has changed … not really it’s the same‚” he reflected. Youtube video screenshot The actor looked back on 2008‚ which was his first time on SNL and meeting Adele‚ who he had “never heard of before.” Next‚ he joked about a poem written for his co-star Timothee Chamalet‚ which he termed “apparently super creepy.” “But I don’t think it’s creepy. But you be the judge. Lights!” he said as the studio lights dimmed with a background piano playing. Youtube video screenshot Brolin poised himself and started‚ “Your face is etched by adolescence. Your cheekbones jut toward what are youth-laden eyes that slide down a prominent nose. And onto lips of a certain poetry.” Before reciting another piece for Kenan Thompson‚ he clarified that he “don’t wanna sleep with” Chamalet. “I mean it’s weird yeah…I write poems about everyone I work with‚” he explained.

The Sound Of Music is one of Hollywood’s Golden Age’s most iconic musical movies‚ with songs like “My Favorite Things‚” “Do-Re-Mi‚” “So Long Farewell‚” and “Edelweiss” still echoing to this day. The 1965 movie featured Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer‚ whose unreleased songs for the film are being reproduced. Plummer’s contribution is recognized in the new soundtrack with his 40 previously unreleased tracks‚ instrumentals of each song‚ and 11 never-before-heard alternate takes. Sadly‚ he died at 91 in February 2021‚ while his co-star‚ Julie‚ is still alive and turning 88 in October. ‘The Sound Of Music’ unreleased tracks are now seeing the light of day THE SOUND OF MUSIC‚ from left: Christopher Plummer‚ Julie Andrews. 1965.

He praised the classic‚ saying he “gained a brand-new appreciation of it all over again.” THE SOUND OF MUSIC‚ Julie Andrews‚ Christopher Plummer‚ 1965‚ TM and Copyright (c)20th Century Fox Film Corp.

The orchestrations‚ what a genius Richard Rogers was‚” he gushed. “The fact that you can get that‚ even if you worked on something‚ deconstructed it‚ and reverse-engineered it all the way down to its inception‚ says something about just how good it is.” THE SOUND OF MUSIC‚ Julie Andrews‚ director Robert Wise (third from left)‚ Paul Lockwood (camera operator)‚ Ted D.

The idea of a deluxe edition was a recreation and arguably a tribute to Plummer‚ who played Captain George Von Trapp in the iconic film and a testimony of the classic’s longevity. “The screenwriter told me that he thinks that people will be watching this movie in 1‚000 years— and I think he’s right‚” Mike affirmed.
