...case, there's a schoolboyish transparency about his cheerful ambition to be best in show. Times have also changed. Putting yourself out there is what people do in a networked society, and this has helped Rudd. In his first speech to Parliament on Remembrance Day 1998, the member for Griffith began: "Politics is about power." For those listening in the House that day, Rudd spoke about political philosophy, the role of the state, the great policy challenges facing the nation and his personal road to Canberra. About halfway through, he said: "I believe that the nation needs a revolution...
...aesthetic call as a moral one. It's arbitrary, nebulous and, yes, unfair. Who doesn't have a list of artists or leaders whose sins they rationalize: Elvis Costello for calling Ray Charles a "blind, ignorant nigger," Eminem for peppering his lyrics with "faggot," Jesse Jackson for "Hymietown," D.W.

...line in epic, unconsciously risible filmmaking that imparts earnest metaphorical lessons about metaphysical topics, often enough from people who are painted blue or speaking a language that needs subtitles, or both, as in this film. Gibson is a primitive all right, but so were Cecil B. DeMille and D.W. Griffith, and somehow we survived their idiocies. Doubtless there will come a day when he joins them in the Valhalla of the vacuous. One or two more Apocalyptos ought to do the trick...
