Happy Father's Day!

BuzzSugar — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 07:30:41 -0700

Aw, this image makes me feel a little misty, as I immediately think back to the scene in Three Men and a Baby in which the men sing "Goodnight Sweetheart" to the baby Mary. Too cute.

As for another of my favorite fictional dads, I love this Bill Cosby line: "I am your father. I brought you in this world, and I'll take you out!" Cosby has used the line in his stand-up and it made it into a scene in The Cosby Show in which Dr. Huxtable gives an economics lesson to his son (check out the funny clip after the jump). Today, remember to celebrate and thank all the funny, loving and generous dads in your lives. After all, they brought you into the world!

Buzz In: What Movies and Series Do You Watch With Your Dad?

BuzzSugar — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 14:00:38 -0700

Happy Father's Day, everyone! In honor of the day, I want to hear about your favorite entertainment options for when you want to do a little bonding with your dad.

This might seem a little twisted, but my dad and I both love the movie Fargo, and the quirky, dark comedy is one of our staples. We also love cheering for favorite teams on the high-energy reality show The Amazing Race. And for the perfect dose of macho drama, nothing beats The Sopranos.

When you and your dad are jonesing for some entertainment, where do you turn?

Buzz Gift Guide: Entertaining Dad

BuzzSugar — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 10:30:07 -0700

Dads: They're just like us. They, too, need good entertainment within arm's reach to keep life fun, so today I'm sharing a couple of gift ideas that I've got my eye on for Father's Day!

What dad wouldn't kill for the newly released collector's edition of Dirty Harry? This package comes with everything a fan would want related to the movie series, which stars Clint Eastwood as the macho San Francisco police inspector, including a new retrospective documentary titled The Long Shadow of Dirty Harry. Go ahead, make dad's day.

Music-wise, Al Green is the coolest cat of all - and his new album features duets with young singers including John Legend and Corinne Bailey Rae, so it's a great candidate for a daddy-daughter sing-along.

I recently passed Ian McEwan's novel Saturday on to my dad while on vacation, and he gave it two thumbs up. It's the story of a middle-aged man who has everything you could want in life - a career, great kids, a loving wife - whose ordinary day takes an extraordinary turn that pushes his courage to the limits.

Finally, if you want to sit down and laugh with your dad this Father's Day, you'd do well to stay away from films like Knocked Up (awkward). Try introducing him to the goofy fun of the Flight of the Conchords HBO show instead.

Dirty Harry Ultimate Collector's Edition ($60)	Flight of the Conchords - The Complete First Season ($24)
Lay It Down, Al Green ($13)	Saturday by Ian McEwan ($13)

Playlist: Father's Day

BellaSugar — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 08:26:52 -0700

Surely you haven't forgotten that Father's Day is this Sunday. Whether you're throwing your dad a party or you just want to let him know that you're thinking about him, I've got a Playlist prepared for the occasion.

I briefly considered making a mix of "dad rock," like Bob Seger and John Mellencamp. But I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to get all weepy-eyed while listening to Harry Chapin's "Cat's In the Cradle." It gets me every time! I've got some other pretty sappy stuff on here, like Cat Stevens' "Father and Son," and Ben Harper covering John Lennon's "Beautiful Boy." But just in case you get too emotional, I've thrown in some slightly siller selections too.

What would you put on your Father's Day Playlist? Tell me below. Then, check out my iMix. Clicking the link takes you to a URL that will ask you to launch iTunes, so just click "launch application" in the pop-up window. That's right: I'm now publishing the BuzzSugar Playlists on iTunes, which means you can even give Dad the iMix as an e-gift if you need a last-minute present
