I just finished watching "Fair Game", and I shouldn't have watched it..

Everytime I calm down a bit and try to throw my efforts into improving things, I do something stupid, like watching a movie like Fair Game and I get all enraged with hate for the people who put us all in this mess! I found myself wishing things on Cheney that I've never wished on anyone in my life! I really want that handful of evil, disgusting pigs to suffer agony before they die!

If your emotions can handle it, it's a great movie. Watch it if you can stand it.

1. The "Fair Game" with Cindy Crawford and one of the minor Baldwins kind of sucked, too (nt)

3. OT: I met Cindy Crawford...

It was in the mid-80s. I worked in a Chicago store and in she came with some guy.

Ms. Crawford was very kind to me, a guy who looks and talks a lot like Luca Brazzi. She smiled and looked me in the eye, which doesn't always happen for me with "beautiful people," let alone celebrity super-models.

When the owner saw who I was waiting on, he came over and shoved me out of the way. Never had I seen him move so fast. The ass.

2. I read the book. I'll have to rent the movie.

Thanks for the review.

4. I managed to make it through the whole movie, but only because

the actress playing Valerie Plame Wilson ranged from barely adequate to entirely unconvincing. If the part had been played by someone who could radiate Valerie's aplomb and beauty and intelligence, I would not have been able to stand to watch the film.

The film didn't make much of the people Cheney left twisting in the wind over there -- and they were left to think Valerie had betrayed them, and that was part of the torture inflicted on her for helping get the truth out. Not all of Cheney's tortures involved electric current or partial drownings.

Watching that film is harrowing but yes, it's very complicated subject matter presented in comprehensible fashion.

5. I watched it on an Aer Lingus flight to Dublin over Easter

Put me in the mood for the 95th anniversary of the Easter Rising.

6. You need to channel that rage into action

I think the thing that most people would rather not face is that Cheney, Rove, Limpballs, and all of their ilk would quite seriously like to kill all of us. IOW it seems to me that we're in a life-or-death struggle, and only one side is fighting. It's probably too late, but our "activists" are mostly involved in silly games that do nothing but amuse the Koch Bros, if they think of us at all.

7. Yea we felt the same way after we watched it!

Rove and Cheney got away with treason and should have been prosecuted. There was no reason for the war with Iraq...none.
