If you love somebody set them free
I never did understand that song. Every Breath You Take - that one I understood intimately. Today has been a less than happy day.

I love Spike, but at this point I almost wish that he’d stop using the race card to promote his movies. He came out today and basically called Clint Eastwood a racist for not having any black soldiers in his two Iwo Jima movies. Was he really upset? No clearly, Spike just wants to use his this time not so righteous anger to promote his new movie about blacks in WWII. Is telling the story of blacks in WWII worthwhile? Definitely, although Spikes acknowledgement of Jim Brown in the popcorn Dirty Dozen as a trailblazer is a little out there (subliminal advertising for Spike’s Brown documentary?), but really there was no need to crack on Eastwood.
Eastwood directed a movie lionizing Charlie Parker. Sure it was a little whitebread, as I noted in my review here, but to call Eastwood a racist is loony. He even made the the black actor he aimed his Magnum at in Dirty Harry into Harry’s friend in Sudden Impact!
Seriously though, Clints like 800 years old. He’s orchestrating huge battle scenes with destroyers and tons of pyrotechnics. One movie looks intently at the pain of an American Indian, while the other sympathizes and shows the humanity of the Japanese enemy. Can Spike give him a pass for forgetting to ask for some black extras at the last second?
Besides pal, we both know that Clint could still kick you ass in about 6 seconds.
I was an early subscriber to Entertainment Weekly but this has to be the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. An online poll about whether the right person won American Idol. It’s a poll about a poll. Let’s vote to see if you agreed with the vote.
Can anyone here spell redundant?
Here in only his second week on American Idol David Cook gets castigated by Simon Cowell for talking about his love of words. John Lennon was a word nerd. Ditto Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello. Tough year for Simon.
Simon Cowell says “Uh I watched back the show last night and David Cook I disrespected you and uh yeah that has nothing to do with seeing that after I pimped the other guy you still won by 12 million votes!”
Nice spin pal!
