In a traveling minstrel show
Yes I'm dying to be a star and make them laugh
Sound just like a record on the phonograph
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah
And the lyrics are so fitting.

Well, I've seen 'em on the TV, the movie show
They say the times are changing, but I just don't know
These things are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah
And they remain fitting ...
(Seriously, did you ever see "China Syndrome" on DVD or TV? Michael Douglas was gorgeous -- I think I crushed on him all the way from that up through the Gekko portrayal. I was a scrap, and my parents were activist-ish, so a lot of that stuff was in the house (although I don't recommend showing the average 15-year-old "FailSafe"), and I think he was my first real H-wood-esque crushy-crush, along with Prince. I liked them older but shouty and shooting off sparks, I guess.)

And Walter Matthau too, in a crooked, evil way.

Of course, this is the woman who hooked me on Mission Impossible in the original B&W, so I spent much too much money just to see Vanessa Redgrave, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers and wish I was Thandie Newton.

-- but then I clicked on it, and it was Shia LeBeouf (ladyboner hides).

Is Oliver going to direct? Did Gekko do time, or did he plead out? Did Kate divorce him?
Inquiring minds want to knooooooww!

The sexagenarians seem to take it as their privilege to tap the "next one with potential". I flash back to "Two for the Money" and "The Recruit."
But I think I'd rather watch whatever they come up with instead of "Transformers."

A clear liquor girl, I tried my first whiskey because I said to myself, "Well, if Eddie were here, he'd probably tell me to ..."
(I think I actually also read somewhere that was Tom's idea; he's like the sexagenarian in reverse. He wanted to work with all the great actors.)

Thanks for the link! That cast looks killer. I would watch Frank Langella read the phone book. And Susan too -- I saw her on B'way and she is even more ridiculous live than she is on film. Unbelievable.
And Stewart is going to do the score again!

Yeah, it may have been a "fuck y'all, I'm taking some markers and poster board" situation.

I really hope you and your family are able to get through this rough patch. This uncertainty is not easy on anyone.

Making a portion of the winner's wifi porn-free will just make it harder for you to find the porn when you look for it. Because you know you do.

It is extremely suspect that his wedding was announced in July, just as the perpetual gay whispers were scuttling his chances of being McCain's VP and particularly odious in light of his recent support of Amendment 2 in Florida.
I think the past model of lgbt complacency needs to be destroyed. There is a right side to this debate.

I'm so pissed off at the comments (obs not here) that democracy has spoken in the issue of gay marriage in several states.
No. Democracy hasn't spoken, a few bigots with pointy hats and white collars have gotten their incapable-of-critical-thinking mass of followers to speak massively for them.

I do think that regardless of his sexuality, his support for Amendment 2 as governor makes protesting his wedding not inconceivable. I don't think it's the world's greatest idea but my post was as much a reflection of my disapproval with Megan's offhand dismissal of the efficacy of the protest. I would hope that opposing gay marriage becomes an uncomfortable stance for people to take. Crist has stated that the issue doesn't rank high on his priorities list, then threw his support behind Amendment 2 (presumably because he cares more about votes than denying civil rights). I would hope the protest would make him reexamine that political calculus by rudely inconveniencing him on his wedding day. As I stated before I don't think this is the best idea, it's sure to put some people off. But I think more needs to be done, and in a time when people are groping for answers and new strategies I think it is a mistake to offhandedly dismiss impolite ideas.

For example, I recently received an email from an uncle in which he expressed outrage at an anti-prop 8 protest that apparently entered a church and threw condoms at the congregation. The email made me angry -- he was using the tactics of some members of the gay rights movement to express opposition to the goals of the movement as a whole. It was an obvious straw man. Yet, I was also angry at the people who perpetrated this protest for making it easier for people to see them as the villains. If people are forced to actually think through the issue of gay marriage, rather than the controversial tactics of certain people promoting it, it becomes much harder to reject giving gay people equal marriage rights.
And to prove it isn't just crazy uncles who think this way, here is the most ridiculous editorial by the National Review I have ever read (which is certainly saying something):
