I try to separate the art from the artist, I really do, especially among actors. The thing is, if you believe you can sense Garofalo’s hatred and disdain for us in her onscreen performance, you must be deeply sensitive. Whenever I feel myself doing that with an actor, I try to take a step back…. but then she said this the other day:
“The reason a person is a conservative republican is because something is wrong with them. Again, that’s science – that’s neuroscience. You cannot be well adjusted, open-minded, pluralistic, enlightened and be a republican. It’s counter-intuitive. And they revel in their anti-intellectualism. They revel in their cruelty.”
Tolerance.
And then she says this about Sarah Palin: “Of course she’s successful with a segment of the country because she represents that lesser segment of the country.”
Wow. Those are fighting words, you ugly little soul. No, that’s mean, and I don’t want to act like you just for the easy laughs. At least not here, in the ’24’ blog! Please feel free to deeply insult many of my friends and family on the way to declaring yourself an arrogant, intolerant nut.
Meanwhile, we’re going to watch ’24’ in the hopes that you are the mole. And maybe make fun of you.
See you in the comments!
