...also a technological prophet, as those who have seen the music video to his obscenely catchy single, It Wasn't Me, would know. The song is about a wannabe playa whose lady catches him, ahem, hangin' with the girl next door. Its name comes from the oaf's absurd, shameless alibi, and to hear the lyrics, you'd think this lady was just another Oprah-watching female American victim. But on screen, she's craftier than Lara Croft. She spies on her beau, narrow-eyed, everywhere he goes, using a little handheld device that looks suspiciously like the latest Nokia...

...been nervous about their turns, worried that directors and executives might judge their thespian skills on these fun moments. Molina, Joffe and Rush come from British and Australian stock, and seemed to recognize the moments for what they are - "panto," the tradition of Christmas pantomime. James Woods is gloriously shameless, or perhaps recognizes the American equivalent, which is the way that Johnny Carson would portray Carnak the Magnificent. It's not about the script, just the fun of hamming it up for the audience...
