When Kerry, Rand and Prouty graduated in 1962, the band added five new members: David Allen and Julian McKee on guitar, Bart Baldwin on bass and Don Roach and Brink Thorne on saxophone. When the last of these members graduated the following year, the band was officially dissolved. In total, there were thirteen different Electras over the band’s three-year lifetime...
...Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Sphinx and several pyramids. They need a recruit to get inside the terrorist mind, and who better than Gary, a Broadway actor? While Gary infiltrates the insurgents, North Korea's kooky dictator, Kim Jong Il, is making worse mischief. He dupes Alec Baldwin and other leftish members of the Film Actors Guild (FAG, in case you didn't notice) into being co-hosts of a peace conference in Kim's palace. Their criminal naiveté earns the thesps decapitation, immolation and death by giant felines...
However, the real wit of this film is not in what it says, but in what it allows to go unsaid. While Alec Baldwin, Peter Jennings, and Susan Sarandon see more than their fair share of unadulterated and unflinching mockery, the one figure that is curiously and notably absent is the man himself: George W.

Less than 150 km west, at Oenpelli/Kunbarlanja, in 1912, anthropologist Baldwin Spencer first encouraged Aborigines to put their rock designs on bark in exchange for tobacco. It would be a further 50 years before the Kuninjku language group began to gather at Maningrida settlement. Here a young John Mawurndjul was treated for leprosy, and in 1963, with the Maningrida Social Club, a fledgling art industry began...
...against wmd-hoarding, four-letter-wording North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. Some have already attacked the film for mocking the war on terrorism. But given the correctly impolitic attitudes of Parker and Stone, count on both left and right wings getting clipped. The trailer ballyhoos star names: "Alec Baldwin! ... Susan Sarandon! ... George W. Bush!" Then: "Are all going to hate this movie." The result should be scabrous and loopy enough to make Michael Moore seem ... reverent...
