If you haven't seen it yet, try another British crime series of that era, CRACKER with Robbie Coltrain - not the American version. Remarkable.

As best I remember it, this same hippy chick, in all of her new-age theorizing rhetorically challenges Rockford with, "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" Later, when the gangster she has been in cahoots with slaps her, Rockford remands her, "That's the sound of one hand clapping." Priceless.

We all know most actors are liberals, but it is the loud, insulting, mocking, intolerance of so many of them today that has turned me off. Paul Newman was a lifelong liberal and often a vocal one, but I never heard Paul Newman mock, or belittle, or insult people who did not march in locksteps with his beliefs. To this day I'll watch just about anything Paul Newman is in, liberal or not. Newman had intelligence and class on and off the screen. Many modern actors lack both, intelligence and class. Penn, Baldwin, Damon, and so many others like them would not know real class, or true thoughtfulness if it was standing next to them tapping them on the shoulder. Sadly, Morgan freeman and Samuel L. Jackson have joined this intolerant, insulting group. For some time I have considered Freeman to be the finest American actor working today. He has what I call, Gary Cooper eyes, eyes so rich and soulful and thoughtful that he can say a page of dialogue with them without opening his mouth. Unfortunately his thoughfulness on camera is seemingly non-existant off camera. Freeman's and Jackson's comments about tea party racism is simply wrong and unfair, as, clearly, neither gentlemen has ever been to a tea party. if they had, they would have seen what I have seen on many occasions, people of all races, creeds, ages and colors. All of them believing in a few simple principles. That the government has become far too intrusive in far too many areas of our lives. That it is taking too much of our hard earned money and spending that money in ways that most of us don't really agree with. We all know that we need government, the disagreement is in how much governement, and how controlling of our lives that government is. Race is nowhere in the equasion, unless you force it in, as Freeman, Jackson and so many in the media are tyring to do.

He's, 'just telling jokes.' He's the guy who doesn't really take any of this stuff seriously because he's just a jokester, right? Right? In this post Stewart betrays again his hunger to be a 'relevent politcal voice' And not just a funnyman who can run from his irresponisble comments with another Culry Howard spit take. And John Nolte's right, if the polls showed Obama were popular, liberlals - for whom popularity is all - would be cheering him on.

Lets not forget the late Ron Silver who converted from a hard core liberal to a 9/11 conservative. Jon Voight who speaks with fearless passion abut his love for liberty and this country, David Mamet and his more newly found voice for this countty at a time when anti-American and anti-Conservatvism is at an hysterical peak (perhaps it has not yet found it's peak, that's yet to be seen, for I think we have yet to see the height of liberal hysteria and hyperbole.) Though for all of these voices of Hollywood patriots, they are still sorely outnumbered but the "hip and trendy" liberal meme of those who never question the liberal politcs they imbibed wthout question when they were teenagers. For peole who are supposed to be 'artists' Hollywood liberals are the least introspective and self-examining people I've ever met. There is some blame to be shared by conservatives, however, for the many years they rolled over and abdicatated the argument to liberals in entertainment, in education, in politics and in the news media. Time to get back into the fight and back the Surnows, the Voights, the Dennis Millers, the Lyonel Chetwynds, the Roger L Simons and other in the business.

I can't think of anyone better for the role --- if written and directed right.

This is a growing intimidation technique by police all over the country. Clearly they are afraid of being caught making a mistake, or intentionally doing something wrong, ala the San Francisco subway shooting, video-taped by bi-standers from multiple angles. Courts have already found against them on these issues. If they can video-record citizens in public in their everyday lives they have no strong argument to make that they can't be recorded in return. Police have a weak case here, but many of them will use their badge to intimidate until the courts and their superior officers come down on them.

Maher clearly has emotional, psychological problems. He gets a rush from the anger projected at him from conservative sites like this. It makes him feel like a bigshot. The only thing that will back Maher off his despicable behavior is his bosses at HBO. The only thing that will cause his bosses to back him off is tens of thousands, better, hundreds of thousand of conservatives cancelling their subscription to HBO with accompanying letters explaning why you are cancelling, sent to the heads of HBO and to your local cable provider. There are a lot of ways to watch the HBO shows that you do like without being a subscriber. I cancelled my subscription a long time ago. Save your money and send a message.

They are incapable of seeing Black people as individuals, and can only see them as stereotypes. The most pathetic thing is that they actually think that their bigotry is enlightenment. The fact that this Black woman does not think in lockstep with the liberal's sterotyped image of Blacks people is an inconceivable concept to them, and so they point at Black people like Sonny Johnson, and any Black who is a conservative as if their is something wrong with them. As if they are the freaks. A bigot is a bigot is a bigot.

I know I had more than a few hits of that 5000 hits on the old Dirty Harry's Place. I cannot agree more on Palin. This being a movie site, I'll say that Sarah Palin reminds me of Rocky, for the more and harder they hit her, the stronger and more determined she becomes. Sadly, even when the hits come from those who claim to be on her own team. She has guts, vision, faith, stamina and a strong set of values. As someone who also works in the film industry, Big Hollywood is heaven-sent for those of us in the Hollywood wilderness needing like-minded shelter from the storm of liberalism in an industry that is self-destructing as a result of trendy, wrong-headed, sycophantic values.

The latest episode of The Good Wife, a decent lawyer show, had a storyline involving what? An obnoxious right-wing, lying, over the top talk show host. (Fill in the blank, Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, Levin etc. etc. For liberals they are all interchangeable) This character has become such a tedious cliche repeated in numerous left leaning shows. When was the last time you saw an openly liberal talkshow host portrayed as an obnoxious jerk? They just can't help themselves.

Rick is America. Another clue to this is the scene where Rick is alone with Sam at the piano and Rick says, "They're asleep in New York. I'll bet they're asleep all over America." Lines like that are not written by accident. It's clear double meaning is that they're asleep in America to the fact that tyranny is sweeping across Europe. That is the whole point of this pre-America-entering-the-war film. And just as America is destined to get into the fight, so is Rick. Nowhere do I see Lazlo as a Commie. Isn't he introduced as a freedom fighter. That fact that he is Czech should not be an automatic indictment. Plenty of Czechs hated Communism but they were sold out by Neville Chamberlain.

Matt Damen brags that he read the Columbus portion of Zinn's monsterpiece when he was ten to his grade school class. Clearly Damen's political evolution and maturation stopped right then at ten. He uses little boy insults against Palin and and other conservatives like an immature kid who read a radical book once and thinks he is so cool for being, 'radical.' Grow up Hollywood.

It is hard to make good money on bad movies; especially high budget films which require a broad appeal audience to recoup their investment.
