For the backstory on Daniel Craig’s embarrassing twist on a contribution to Bernie Sanders, go to Breitbart. His wife is Rachel Weisz (pronounced ‘vice’), and she has a more established acting career, in addition to being brighter in the real world, than her husband. Even though Jane Dough has never heard of her. 😉

JOHN WAYNE, AMERICAN
Every day is a challenge as to how to start this post. Then I realized yesterday was The Duke’s birthday. He’d be 105 if he were still with us. It’s hard to imagine (or maybe not) what he’d have to say about this president and what this country has become since he passed. Never a man to mince words, you always knew where he stood. The title is the inscription that’s on his gravestone. He was the cowboy hero every boy wanted to be and a firm supporter of the Viet Nam War when it was unpopular. We could sure use him today. 
Film Actor (1907–1979 John Wayne was born May 26, 1907, in Winterset, Iowa. He received his first leading film role in The Big Trail (1930). Working with John Ford, he got his next big break in in Stagecoach (1939). His career as an actor took another leap forward when he worked with director Howard Hawks in Red River (1948). Wayne won his first Academy Award in 1969. He died of cancer in 1979. http://www.biography.com/people/john-wayne-9525664

Jane Fonda to Warn the UN about Mysterious New Terrorist Threat
Gruntington Post [United Nations] – Hollywood actress, radical and war criminal, Jane Fonda, was interviewed on Wednesday by the Associated Press prior to United Nations meetings next week where she will speak about progress toward women’s equality. Her message? “The most intractable problem that humanity faces is the problem of Patriarchy,” which she blames for the rise in terrorism and the destruction of the environment throughout the World.
Miss Fonda declined to specify the identity of this new “Patriarchy” person, but from her description, he appears to be some kind of superhuman terrorist leader. Her comments make it unclear, however, if the person is even a human being. He’s clearly a male of some species, but she also described him as a “beast, thrashing about, flailing its tail with the barbs on it, and a lot of people are really getting hurt badly.” Some are speculating that the name implies some supernatural aspect, perhaps even an archangel of some kind.
This theory is consistent with a figure from one of her past movies, Barbarella, in which an adversary took the form of a winged man. Miss Fonda is pictured above with Pygar (note the name also starting with a ‘P’). Clearly, she is in some form of distress and helplessness before the power of Pygar, now possibly called Patriarchy. Oddly, her character is not always so helpless in the presence of the winged creature, as illustrated by the movie still, below right.
Miss Fonda also commented on the need for strong female world leadership. Changing laws “is a huge step forward” and helps empower victims, she said, but to achieve equality many other things are needed as well.
“You need women elected to office, you need movements in the streets, you need social media, you need every single form of social protest and speaking truth to power that’s possible,” Fonda said.
And a woman leader must lead “as a woman and not as a man in skirts” who thinks she needs to prove she’s not weak, she said.
Her value “is to bring her woman-ness to her leadership style” which means empathy, compassion and “someone whose head and heart are not bifurcated,” she said but then exclaimed, “Oh shit. Did I just use the word ‘bifurcated’? I was saving that for the UN speech. I didn’t also just say ‘intractable’ did I?”

You May Be Cool…
But you’ll never be the unique kind of cool that this guy was. Until today, when Leonard Nimoy passed away at 83 in southern California. We used to swim and catch crawfish on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe within view of his mountainside home back in the 90s. It ain’t easy being green, we know, but for a Hollywood actor you were pretty ok. RIP, pointy-ears.

A COMPREHENSIVE ACADEMY AWARD REVIEW
Just kidding. I never have,never will waste a minute of the precious little time I have left of my life watching a bunch of posers with overinflated egos and way too much time on their hands indulge themselves in an orgy of self-congratulations and espousing their favorite liberal propaganda for the entire world to be awed by their awesomely awesome awesomeness. I perused the interwebs for some stuff about the gala this past evening,and the UK Telegraph had an orgy of coverage. I’m trying to do this like CtH or Grunt would post this. No promises. Regular stuff in reply section.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck: How pervasive are politics in Hollywood right where we can’t even watch the Oscars? Everybody has their freedom of speech but you would think there would be some who feel a different way now. Are there some being silenced?
Stacey Dash: Oh yeah, being silenced. And I think they are so chummy with this administration. They love it so much…

Moonbat Actress Patricia Arquette Goes On Feminist Rant During Academy Award Acceptance Speech…
To every woman who gave birth, to every taxpayer and citizen of this nation. We have fought for everybody else’s equal rights. It’s our time to have wage equality once and for all, and equal rights for women in the United States of America,” she said.

Valerie Jarrett Praises Oscar Winner Patricia Arquette For Equal Pay Speech
While Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lopez were leaping out of their seats to endorse Oscar Winner Patricia Arquette for using her acceptance speech to highlight the issue of equal pay for women, President Obama’s most trusted senior advisor endorsed the message as well.
“Congrats @PattyArquette!,” Valerie Jarrett tweeted shortly after the speech. “Thx for using your speech to advocate for #EqualPay and for understanding that when women succeed, America succeeds.”
5 moments when politics took center stage at the 2015 Oscars
1) Racial diversity
Politics took center stage right off the bat, when host Neil Patrick Harris referred to the #OscarsSoWhite debate.
“Tonight we honor Hollywood’s best and whitest — sorry, brightest,” he said, an ode to the controversial fact that the year’s acting nominees were all white
2) Gender pay gap
The comments were likely sparked by the email hack on Sony Pictures that revealed Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams made significantly less than their male co-stars.
3) Selma
Singer John Legend brought up voting rights, the incarceration rate of black men and Selma in his acceptance speech for his song “Glory” with Common from the movie “Selma.”
4) Snowden’s Oscar
“CITIZENFOUR,” which focuses on National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden, won for best documentary feature. Snowden’s girlfriend, Lindsay Mills, joined director Laura Poitras, producer Dirk Wilutzky and journalist Glenn Greenwald onstage to accept the award.
“The subject of ‘Citizenfour,’ Edward Snowden, could not be here tonight for some treason,” Neil Patrick Harris said to laughs as the winners walked offstage.
5) Sean Penn’s Immigration Joke

Ohio News Anchor on Oscars: All That “Jigaboo Music”
Well, here’s one opinion.
Kristi Capel from FOX8 in Ohio critiqued Lady Gaga’s performance at the Oscars last night
“You couldn’t really hear her voice with all that ‘jigaboo’ music, that ‘jigaboo’ whatever you want to call it.”

Neil Patrick Harris blunders with a joke after winner dedicates award to her son who committed suicide and then parades in his underwear
He made an ill-timed joke about Dana Perry’s dress featuring furry spheres after she dedicated Oscar win to her son who had committed suicide
The host spoofed Birdman by coming on stage in nothing but Y-fronts
And the award for most obscure shortlist goes to… Oscars accused of snubbing popular movies in favor of films that fit the tastes of Hollywood judges
Box office performance of best picture nominees was just $605million
Figure would have been lower without American Sniper, which took $312m
This year’s winner, Birdman, took a measly $36million at the box office
DIDJA CATCH THAT PART?
Director of snubbed ‘Selma’ asked protesters NOT to target Oscars for a lack of diversity
Ava DuVernay requested that the Los Angeles chapter of National Action Network not protest
The organization agreed to cancel a planned rally in exchange with meeting with two Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences executives
A PLANNED PROTEST OF THE UNBEARABLE WHITENESS OF BEING WAS CALLED OFF WHEN THE HOI POLLOI AGREED TO MEET WITH BROTHER AL AND HIS MERRY BAND OF NEGROES. THE FACT SECRET-SERVICE TRAINED LAPD SNIPERS WERE POSTED AROUND THE THEATER MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. JUST SAYIN’
