Truest statement of the week

The Clintons know how to lie their way out: He’s sick, she’s sick, the dog ate her email server, their immediate presence is needed on Wall Street, one of his old girlfriends fell off her walker, whatever.

Hillary’s latest disastrous email dishonesty would not be such a big deal but Americans are exhausted by decades of dishonesty. Yes, other secretaries of state have used private email addresses — they just didn’t have private email servers on their property. Huge difference.


-- Linda Stasi, "After latest email revelations and endless dishonesty, time for Hillary Clinton to head for the hills" (NEW YORK DAILY NEWS).

Editorial: Hypocritical War Criminal






We agree.



Tony Blair doesn't.

But he doesn't even agree regarding the upcoming report from the Iraq Inquiry -- which he's not sure he'll accept.


He insists, "The thing that will be important when it does happen is that we have then a full debate. And I look forward to participating in that. Make no mistake about that. It is really important we do debate these issues."

A full debate?

Like Bully Boy Bush, he wanted no real debate when the Iraq War was being sold.

But now that a verdict may come down -- and may come down against him -- Tones wants a full debate.














TV Wayward Acting

Matt Dillon is 52, Jason Patric is 49.  The years seems so much more on Patric.


abtv

Last summer, WAYWARD PINES became a break out hit.  Film star Matt Dillon starred as Ethan Burke who found himself trapped in Wayward Pines, unable to escape.  As his son and wife showed up, clues began to emerge slowly and the realization was that this was a self-contained community, centuries in the future, after humankind had destroyed the environment and a mutated species had taken over the earth outside the closed community of Wayward Pines.

In the season finale, Ethan gave his life to save everyone else.

It went out with a bang.

But when FOX has a hit -- a rare thing these days -- they have to milk it.

So we get season two.

Which might work if it had a star to anchor it.

Jason Patric is an effective actor.

He's not a star.

As multiple films have demonstrated, he cannot command the screen the way Matt Dillon can.

The first episode brings back some familiar faces.  Terrence Howard is back as the crooked sheriff. Hope Davis is back as Megan, the creepy, Hillary Clinton-look alike cultist.  Carla Gugino is back as revolutionary Kate. Charlie Tahan is back as Ethan's son Ben.

But even with a dramatic moment from Kate, the episode moves along about as gracefully as a tugboat.

That's due to Patric and his deep desire to 'Act.'

Matt Dillon doesn't prove he can act, he just acts.

And his naturalness is partly why he's a great actor and a movie star with films like WILD THINGS, LITTLE DARLINGS, TEX, THE OUTSIDERS, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY, THE FLAMINGO KID, CRASH, IN & OUT, TO DIE FOR, RUMBLE FISH, YOU, ME AND DUPREE and DRUGSTORE COWBOY.

Jason's had shots at stardom but in terms of carrying a film, his biggest hit is the flow sequel to SPEED.

These things tend to happen for a reason.

As an actor, Patric's a lot like Shirley Knight.

Knight's wonderful onstage.

In film and on TV, she's best in small doses because she's doing so much work it tires the audience out.

Which is why, despite immense talent and beauty, Shirley Knight never became a movie star.

And it's why it's so hard to get on board with Jason's Dr. Theo.


He's too busy leading viewers through every moment to let them discover anything on their own.

  1. From my experience in USMC/Iraq, I learned that we were only fighting for profiteers. If the troops defended freedom they'd attack the govt!
