HEY GANG! LET'S HAVE A "MOVIE MINUTE."
Man, I loved "Monster." Charlize Theron's Oscar(TM)-winning portrait of a woman whose moral center had been abraded by years of desperate, bitter conflict was positively chilling. Remember her last line? The sarcasm was toxic:
"'Love conquers all.' 'Every cloud has a silver lining.' 'Faith can move mountains.' 'Love will always find a way.' 'Everything happens for a reason.' 'Where there's life, there's hope.' Well. . . they gotta tell you something."
Ouch! How'd you like to have that charmer in your life?
I also dug "Some Kind of Monster," which examined a group of dysfunctional has-beens whose endlessly rehashed psychodramas prevented them from doing anything productive. They had turned themselves into such an institution-- such an industry-- nobody had the courage to tell them:
A.) They had sold out and become uninspiring parodies of themselves, and
B.) They hadn't written a decent song since. . . oh, maybe. . . the 1990s?
Don't know what made me think of those two movies today. I guess I'm bored?
I'm sad Get Your War On is going on hiatus. Maybe, if Hillary or McCain attack Iran, you'll start it up again, unless it's too depressing as hell to see Hagee's end times hard on come to fruition.
Scary Monsters by David Bowie is a good album though.
"The Monster Mash" today.
Let's hope that's not what they're going to call the inauguration ball.
Additionally I think Sen. Clinton should FIRE Howard Wolfson, not because he compared Sen. Obama to Kenneth Starr, but because he is a liar. "Senator Obama was confronted with questions whether he was ready to be Commander in Chief and steward of the economy, he chose not to address those questions but to attack Sen. Clinton, and that's what we're pointing out. And I for one do not think imitating Kenneth Starr is the way to win a Democratic primary for President, but perhaps that theory will be tested." I heard these words from Howard Wolfson with my own two ears and so can anyone else by listening to the Keith Olbermann video files right here at HuffPost..
He had the unbridled temerity to say "I did not say that Senator Obama was like Ken Starr,and I think there is a difference between engaging in the kind of ad homimen personal attack on someone's character that Samantha Power did, and talking about the kind of campaign that team Obama has been running since Ohio and Texas."
This man must think we are all imbeciles. His attempt to twist his own words into a Clinton plus is assinine. So again I call for the firing of Howard Wolfson, because he is either a pathological liar or because he has denigrated the American people by thinking we don't know plain English when we hear it.
