Oliver Stone’s new movie, World Trade Center is coming out. I won’t be seeing it, but I noticed it stars the same moustache who did such a terrific job in the highly acclaimed 1973 film The Last Detail.

Brokeback Mountain: A love affair between a pair of homosexualist cowboys ends tragically when one is killed by a horse . The actors playing the leads are (supposedly) straight.

Histrionics: Three Plays and Over All the Mountain Tops , by Thomas Bernhard. Bernhard once said “I despise actors, indeed I hate them, for they ally themselves at the least sign of danger with the audience and betray the author and completely identify with stupidity and feeble-mindedness. Actors are the destroyers and extermin
That moustache looks like it has strained more than one bowl of soup in the last 33 years.
ReplyDeleteVery gay.
ReplyDeleteMy understanding is that the moustache has been happily married for the last 27 years. However, as James points out, you never know in Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteanon: I think James is suggesting the moustache's wife is a beard.
ReplyDeleteI despise this post, which is why I can't resist leaving it up. It may have almost been funny if I had done as oringinally intended and included more movies. 16 Blocks, where the moustache co-starred with Bruce Willis...think up your own...
