A thin layer of margarine... over America

I never ever liked him, from the nasal superciliousness to the overstriped shirts. For me, he sullied a lot of ground-breaking shows.

But I'll see the press show of the Frost/Nixon movie tomorrow morning. And, if I have the endurance, the detestable Cruise in 'Valkyrie' in the afternoon. It's called suffering for art ;-)

Re: suffering for art.

To a bystander (me,) it's all rather amusing.  People in the industry almost have to sit through films they know will be gah-awful in order to retain their street cred.  Gives me nice warm fuzzies for the hours ofe misery I've been subjected to over the years.

(Revenge is a dish best served at 24 frames per second. :-)

Apply the Bergman Solution™:  an all white cast, on a all white set, shot under all white light, using black and white film.

Either that or smoke a bunch of the herbaceous substance and you won't care what colors you're seeing.

Smoke a bunch and watch Bergman does not guarantee a colourful experience.

(Unless a bunch of bananas, in which case yellow.)

I suppose the Faroe Fascist did make a couple of good movies. But he put me off Swedes for years ;-)

Of course I'm making up for it now...

He "sullied" - by using them as springboards. What a creep.
