Bad news

Good grief.  What lousy news today.  Massacre in Russia, another massive hurricane, Bill Clinton sick.

And check this out: “Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognise now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did.” Sounds a hell of a lot like a confession to me. How could it have been consensual if she does not view it as such?  Wouldn’t she have to agree that it was consensual?  For it to be consensual, that is?

On a far lighter note, BBC World Service asked Claire Danes if it was difficult to portray a bad actor in her most recent role.

And what is Michael Biehn doing slumming?  He got $4 million for a John Landis movie.  He must have gotten more for the massively, almost unbelievably under-rated The Art of War, which I give 8.5 stars to (contrast with the 5.2 it gets on IMDB.) Maybe he just likes to get a paycheck while living in Hawaii. To be honest, I thought they’d kill him in the premiere, after I saw him in the commercial. Then they gave him a ringer credit (”…and Michael Biehn”) in the opening credits, and I thought, wouldn’t it be great if they gave him a proper listing as a star of the show and still killed him?

And what am I doing writing a blog post this banal?
