...failed show-biz types (Ed Wood, Larry Flynt, Andy Kaufman, Bob Crane). But Clooney turns out to have a flair, puckish and audacious, for his new job. Learning from working with Steven Soderbergh and the Coen brothers and from watching the '70s thrillers of Alan J. Pakula (Klute, The Parallax View), Clooney figured out how to turn images and performances into menace and sizzle. He's already a real director. If he ever tires of his name above the title, he could build a cottage industry as the cinema's handsomest auteur...
...anybody can make anti-establishment liberalism cool again, one guess is it?s Warren Beatty. He rapped leftie litanies in "Bulworth," got pink in "Reds" and went up against a vast right-wing conspiracy in "The Parallax View" (not to mention pretty much embodying the shaggy-haired, hard-partying Love Generation for the meat of his career). Now he?s coyly hinting about pulling the ultimate anti-Reagan as an actor running for President -? from somewhere to the left of Bill Bradley. "It?s no secret that I am a liberal Democrat," told the New York Times on Wednesday, making...
...site training is usually straightforward: if what you're thinking even vaguely involves sex, keep it to yourself.

A U.S. Department of Labor brochure on sexual harassment even advises that those who hear "sexual jokes or... sexual things that...
...that and $200,000 will get you a cup of coffee. That and press credentials will get you into The Clinton Coffees, Pts. 1-44 (1997). Just four bucks will get you a coffee movie. But what exactly is a coffee movie? Parallax View was set in Seattle, yet features maybe two cups of the stuff (although one does kill Hume Cronyn). Pam Grier's blaxploitation babe-fest Coffy (1973), despite its many merits, isn't one either...
...conspiracy of Vince Foster's death is finally no longer a conspiracy, according to Kenneth Starr. Of course, he might be in on it with them. So see some of 'them' in the odd thriller The Parallax View (1974), with Warren Beatty as a bush-league reporter snared in conspiratorial quicksand by the murder of a senator. The commission men in the dimly lit hall deliver the movie's stock line: "Although I'm certain that it will do nothing to discourage the conspiracy peddlers, there is no evidence of any wider conspiracy. None whatsoever...
