Damn! Wrong Redgrave: Lynn Redgrave died of breast cancer yesterday. Shame it wasn’t her sister Vanessa.
Say, you think you might have put the new website up before the new CD came out? Mary Chapin Carpenter’s new album is out. I listened to some of it at my friend’s last night, will pick it up on the way home from work today. Dang. I forgot it was coming out. Oh, the first five songs are awesome. I do believe happiness has not spoiled MCC.
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day: If you’ve never seen this film, and you like 1940s romantic comedies (although this one seems less a comedy and more a romance to me), I heartily recommend this movie. It was wonderful. And it has a kick-ass swing score.
He must have been distracted by another Trig Palin maternity theory or something: Hey, Andrew, Jeffrey Goldberg and “others” didn’t find the Father Coughlin quote. My idea, my post, Goldblog linked it. (Thanks, Jeffrey!) Not that I expect Sullivan to fact-check or anything. I mean, Jeffrey only used the words “Meryl Yourish excavated this quote” when prefacing the Coughlin text. We can’t expect him to, I don’t know, pay attention to what he’s reading, can we?
My thoughts exactly, but it goes to show you true evil never dies. Vanessa Redgrave is probably immortal in exchange for sexually serving the Devil that one time.
“Lynn Redgrave died of breast cancer yesterday. Shame it wasn’t her sister Vanessa.”
I had that exact same thought. For now, at least, I won’t be guilty of the sin of speaking ill of the dead. I’ll save that for Vanessa.
The ONLY time my parents ever ‘banned’ me from watching a TV program was when Vanessa Redgrave was cast in ‘Playing for Time’. My mother said that casting Redgrave as a Holocaust survivor was an insult to 6 million Jews. Since I was 9 or 10 at the time I didn’t see what the big deal was.
Over the years, I’ve come to understand…
I should’ve said ‘an insult to the memory of 6 million DEAD Jews.’
Proof-reading is my friend.
