Was all set for the usual lefty Hollywood nonsense, but instead he impressed the hell out of me. He touched on many issues that have been on my mind for some time - civics, civility, history, American exceptionalism, sound bites versus deep thinking, etc. Gave me some hope for the future. This is the type of thing we need to hear much more about. I think the audience was stunned in silence. They wanted to be entertained as per the usual TV show format, but instead Richard forced them to THINK! OMG! ;) Saw Dreyfus on Mike Huckabee’s show yesterday.

It would be interesting to see where you and Lionel agree with his picks and where you don't. Of course, he writes about 1,000 movies and you'd have to be selective, to say the least.

I wanna celebrate Roger amd Richard so here are the IMDB quotes from 1978's The Big Fix (which kinda work today): Moses Wine: Bakunin? Bakunin was a terrorist monster. You are not an authority on Bakunin just because you used to date every terrorist in Soviet Russia, that does not make you an authority. Eppis: Do you know why being a revolutionary doesn't work in this country? Being a revolutionary in America is like being a spoil sport at an orgy. All these goodies being passed around and you feel like a shit when you say no. Tonight, I drinking and passing out — candies to the kiddies.
