Cork on the Fork

You know who’s a Great Actor? No, not Ashton Kutcher. Get the hell off this
website, sicko.

Michael Caine.

Despite being at least a Competent Actor, He made lots of Movies that were Crap. Total Crap. That’s good. When he was younger he was convinced he would never make any money acting, so he did every script that came in the mail. If he wasn’t doing anything he would say, “Oh Hell, they’ll pay me 500 Deutschmarks for 4 weeks work. What the Karmalkamf..” “Over the years I did a lot of crap… and made a lot of money.” [about starring in ‘Jaws: The Revenge’]… “I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific.” Sheer body of work, that’s what it amounted to. I’ll never forget Emil Shophausen and Lawrence Jamieson

In Other News:

This Passion of the Christ Movie looks pretty hardcore. I don’t really
believe in Jesus or God or Anything, but I can admire the sacrifice. Although, I
should point out that the Passion is really just the scene in Braveheart where
Mel Gibson gets disemboweled drawn out for 2 hours.

In Yet another unrelated Matter, you know what a Great TV Program is? Great
Chefs. It’s on the Travel Channel.

I used to watch TV to entertain myself, now I do it to relax. They are
actually quite different. I hate things where I have to listen attentively, I
listen attentively all day. That’s what I do in my Lectures. I like Great Chefs
because I can just absorb what they teach. I figure, I might as well have a
quiet Portuguese man Romance me through his Interesting Methods of Cooking, and
Peaceful rhythmic intonations, and maybe I’ll even pick up a language here or
there – maybe even a Recipe for Asparagus* Soup.

* The Single Most Underrated Vegetable. It’s delicious.
