"When one student asked Mamet who his favorite actresses were, he exploded: "Women who act are not actresses. They're actors. Why do they need to [bleep]ing qualify what their genitalia are? Folks, seriously, I need to disabuse you of the notion that 'actress' is anything other than a euphemism for 'floozy' . . . Do women [bleep]ing writers call themselves 'writressess?' No!"
I'm not a Madonna fan, in fact just the opposite, but "pale and haggard"? If she had been artifically tanned and botoxed, that would bring criticism too.
Ageism against women is fucking real. They can't frigging win.
Did his mom tell him he was special once too often?
This bothers me a little if he said this (not too much, since it is 4:00 in the morning):
"television was evil and for whores, Hollywood was a hotbed of whoredom, and we were to avoid all of these things like the plague, unless, of course, we, too, were whores and not the artists we said we were."
He has a show called "The Unit" on cbs. It is not high art. It is not art. It's like one hour Lifetime Channel renditions of Golan-Globus commando flicks, or just very expensive ads for Allstate Insurance.
@Uncle_Billy_Slumming: The above wasn't about Tom Brady, by the way. Nor was it about Nouriel Roubini. Not a jot do do with Pearson Plc, Ditchley Manor, Dame Marjorie or any of the Scardinos and their relationships with american politics.
The presence of both Eddie Izzard and Bill Nighy suggests Valkyrie is intended to be a comedy, in a bumbling, Hogan's Heroes kind of way, and no one had the heart to tell Cruise.
The man who absconded with Paris' loot is practically a national hero to me, and I really hope he gets away with it. I mean seriously, if you're always gabbing about how fantastic your life/riches are, and you leave your front door unlocked, what do you expect?
@trescharmant: Now is the time in American history when people with money should be as understated as possible. Bling bling will only bring class war war.
Why does it make me weirdly happy that Michael Jackson's "official and sole spokesperson" is one Dr. Tohme Tohme? That he has, from a quick Google, appeared from nowhere in the last 48 hours and seems to exist solely to debunk this rumor is truly Jacksonian.
Whatever happened to his Personal Magician, the even more extravagantly named Majestik Magnificent?
@DominaDea: she hasn't been wearing her ring, he's not wearing his... hey sometimes the only thing lying on the break table at work are copies of Star and People

Everyone involved is better than a shitty Tom Cruise movie...which is why I think it's intended to be a joke.

FOR OPERATIVES EYES ONLY:
For suspected terrorists, water-boarding will now be replaced by watching the film, "Valkyrie" with Tom Cruise at his house.
