CO2ISFUNNY | Some Stuff Weekly 06.04.2026

Get ready for the talkies! They're the bees knees, don't ya see?.

This is gonna be an unusual version of Some Stuff. My good pal Susan Ware and I have been working on a project together, which we are launching today! We have way too many things we are working on for old folks who may never see them get completed, but so what?!?! Would rather go down swinging...

Like all great things, this has evolved from an incredibly simple idea to something I have made enormously complex for literally no good reason other than I had too much fun doing it!

Here is some stuff I like and hope you like too...

AS ALWAYS, REPLY TO THIS EMAIL WITH YOUR THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS AND STUFF YOU WANT TO SEE! I FEEDBACK IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED!

SUSAN WARE COMEDY (THE CONCEPT)

Susan is a hilarious comedian who does brilliant one-liners. I'm a sycophant who tries to glam on to her budding fame at every chance I get! "You're great, Susan." "Nice gams, Susan". Etc, etc. Whatever it takes to stay in her good graces, as she has promised to mention me in her will...not leave me anything, but at least mention my name, which would still be cool I think. "Chris gets nothing!"

Anyway, over the years, Susan has become delusional. She lives in a giant old mansion off of Sunset with a monkey and an old butler who used to be her director. I am a hack writer trying to steal a car. Now she has trapped me into living in her old palace and helping her regain the fame she lost when the talkies came in. Under my pseudonym Morty Applebaum, we are recording screen tests for SOB Pictures. Susan is still big! It's the pictures that have gotten small...or some other crazy crap that she says. She's nuts!

Regardless, check out our new project Susan Ware Comedy HERE. New videos will drop every Monday and Thursday, along with awesome backstories and funny "found footage". Our first one just launched!

MY SPOTIFY PLAYLIST OF THE WEEK...

CO2ISFUNNY | Songs About Old Movies From Someone Needing SPF 90+...

Songs about movies are almost as confusing as books about photography--we are mixing too many media!!! Pretty soon, we will have watercolors about hieroglyphics, and the whole world will be turned upside down! Here are 10 great songs about movies...:

  6. Movie Theme | Beck

  7. If This Was A Movie | Taylor Swift

  8. Twin Cinema | The New Pornographers

  9. Gone to the Movies | Semisonic

  10. Matinee Idol | Rufus Wainwright

THE SHOW I AM WATCHING

I love The Artist and I will fight anyone who says otherwise...and while that means I will undoubtedly lose another fight in my life, it will be worth it! This picture deserved the Best Picture Academy Award that it won, and it is a true love song to the movies that made the movies.

Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejo play actors with careers going opposite directions-- hers is on the rise, and his is sinking as talkies are coming in. The entire movie is shot silent, and it reminds you how truly talented some of the great old stars truly were. Lots of cameos and fun facts throughout this film, and it is most definitely worth a watch!

HOLLYWOOD FOREVER

I love walking around Hollywood Forever Cemetery. I do several times a week, and it is always incredibly relaxing and fun to catch up with the old stars I only got to meet through their movies. It is a great place to visit (amongst many famous Hollywood cemeteries!), and I am always happy to give tours!

Here are some of my absolute favorites to stop by and say hi to:

COMEDIAN TO KNOW: Scott Rowe

My buddy Scott and I are doing a show in Santa Barbara tomorrow night together, and we were just at the Ice House last Saturday. It is getting to be a little much, honestly...😄😄😄.
