Imagine how many jobs could be created in this country if we just took care of the things we’ve so badly neglected.

Women are dumb and they lie a lot

First there was this Oh, it’s bad. So very bad. Then the WaPo decided to up the ante by having a “chat” with Ms. Allen. Ugh. Honestly, why give this wretched person anymore space to spew her crap. Then yesterday, Meredith Viera foisted this piece of crap on the world. If you scroll down and launch the video player piece titled, “Why women lie”, you’ll see what I mean. I don’t even want to waste too many words on what shite this is. But wtf is going on here? Misogyny is fine when it’s done by a woman?

Roy Schieder died this week, aged 75. He had such a magnetic screen personality, I just loved the guy. Loved him in All That Jazz, a flawed but great movie. He’s fantastic in Marathon Man, as Dustin Hoffman’s worldly and sophisticated older brother. But the movie I just added to top of my Netflix list is 52 Pick Up. A satisfying thriller from the mid-80’s, based on the Elmore Leonard novel, it’s a blackmail story with a couple of really nasty blackmailers, played by John Glover and Clarence Williams III (Linc! from the Mod Squad). It also has a very strong role for the ever fabulous Ann-Margaret. In fact, up to seeing 52 Pick Up, I’d only seen Ann-Margaret as another sexy actress whose distinguishing feature was her red hair. This movie made me see what a marvelous actor she is when her material is worthy of her. I don’t want to go on and on about, just rent it. Oh, and if you need a little more incentive, it’s directed by John Frankenheimer.
