Stars Vow To Carry Out Good Deed To Mark 9/11 Anniversary
Oddly enough there’s nothing in this story about publicity-seeking celebs doing something that would truly mark 9/11; like killing a terrorist, donating to a military charity, or voting against Barack Obama.
Hey, how about demanding Sony Pictures NOT turn their killing Bin Laden film into a $50 million Obama 2012 campaign commercial! Oh wait, that would take principles AND the courage to back them up.
Kate Winslet Forms All-star Anti-cosmetic Surgery Group
Winslet says: “I will never give in. It goes against my morals, the way that my parents brought me up and what I consider to be natural beauty.”
Obviously, I’m no fan of those who plastic surgery themselves into ghouls, but isn’t moderation the key? What in the world is wrong with wanting to look better and doing something about it? A tummy tuck, an eyebrow lift, having a mole removed…
Not everyone was born with the genetic make-up of a Kate Winslet. Furthermore, not everyone has the free time between pictures and the millions of dollars needed for the diet and exercise specialists many of today’s stars hire on to keep them, uhm, “natural-looking.”
Winslet wears make up, right? I’ll bet she plucks, waxes, and has her hair done, as well. What’s “natural” about that?
What say we form an all-star committee that opposes all-star committees packed with privileged elitists who tell other people how to live their lives? Who’s with me?

LAST NIGHT’S SCREENING
Last night I hung a garage door. It was actually kinda fun in a challenging sort of way until I had it mostly complete and realized it won’t open because there’s not enough headroom. So now I’m either going to call a door specialist or make lemonade by installing carpeting and a pool table.
Laugh all you want but do you think it’s easy being an idiot.

CLASSIC PICK FOR FRIDAY AUGUST 18TH
TCM:
2:15 AM EST: Singin’ In The Rain (1952) — A silent-screen swashbuckler finds love while trying to adjust to the coming of sound. Dir: Gene Kelly Cast: Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor, Debbie Reynolds. C-103 mins, TV-G, CC.
Simply one of the greatest musicals (and movies) ever produced. MGM was at their high-water mark in 1952 and for my money the musical productions coming out of the magical studio during this period of time represent the best we’ll ever see in the art of making motion pictures. Acting, screenwriting, lighting, color, cinematography, editing, song, score, choreography, production design and costume design — all came together in an exquisite way we will never see again.
Along with “The Band Wagon,” “Easter Parade,” “An American in Paris,” and others, “Singin’ In the Rain” represents the very best of the very best of this wonderful medium.
Infectious storytelling at its finest.
