...makes some interesting choices as an actor too--from such indies as Monster's Ball and The Woodsman to big fat commercial films like The Italian Job. Hitchhiker's Guide is another cross-'em-up surprise: a nerd-friendly science-fiction comedy (based on the cult-classic novel and radio show by Douglas Adams) about a melancholy English bloke named Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman) who roams the galaxy after Earth is demolished to build an interstellar bypass. Mos plays Arthur's winningly unflappable (and alien) best friend, and his laid-back vibe was in full effect...

When politicians or activists come forward to defend working people against business interests, the Republicans accuse them of being beholden to “union bosses.” The hoped-for mental image is of a bunch of fat white guys in three-piece suits smoking cigars, an image that will make us immediately forget whatever policy we were talking about.

You want it marbled with at least a little fat.’ The flattening process relentlessly trims the fat out of business and life...
When I run Primal Scream—naked, sweaty and shrunken—I feel something similar. Here is an event where scrawny and studly, fat and misshapen, pock-marked and smooth, black and white can run together. We run not as isolated students, but as unique participants in an elite unit who have thrown social mores to the wind and let it all hang out. There is no public humiliation—the group protects the individuals. Primal Scream helped me realize the strength of community—and discovering that piece of veritas was certainly worth a frozen...
