For those of you who commend Hugo Chavez for his robust sense of humor, be aware that dystopian kingpin Mahmoud Ahmadinejad fashions himself after the Venezuelan despot. Or, as Abbas Milani writes in THE NEW REPUBLIC, “Ahmadinejad has more than once hinted at his wish to follow in the footsteps of Hugo Chavez by changing the constitution and becoming a life-time president. Today, hundreds of Ahmadinejad’s emissaries are in Venezuela working with the Chavez government. There are reports of close coöperation between the two countries’ intelligence agencies — particularly on methods of crowd and opposition control, as well as co-opting the lower classes through patronage.”
I felt slightly tortured sitting through an episode of ELI STONE the other day, at least until this fetching lass appeared on my television screen. Dumb that I didn’t realize a talented veteran of SHE-SPIES was slumming it on ABC’s woo-friendly comedy-drama.
BIG HOLLYWOOD’s Matt Patterson has an absolutely terrific look back at last year’s cinematic juggernaut, THE DARK KNIGHT. “There was something different about The Dark Knight, something which separated it from its innumerable costume-wearing, crime-fighting brethren,” Patterson writes. “…(N)o comic book movie was ever so black and bleak; it seems to take place in an unending polar night, not some sunny Chicago day.” Patterson’s characterization of the Joker is spot-on too. “…the Joker puts a loaded gun into Harvey (Dent)’s hand, then puts his own head to the barrel as he confesses to Dent ‘I’m an agent of chaos.’ It was in that moment that I realized what (director) Chris Nolan was up to: This isn’t the Joker — it’s the Devil.”
