...talking about the budget, and he had some great material on waterboarding they cut for time. But Democrats who find their once-electric primary narrative gone lifeless, wooden and bland should hardly despair, even if it doesn’t get the Hollywood makeover it may need. John Sidney McCain is 71 years old, and there’s nothing you can do about that.James M. Larkin ’10, a Crimson editorial executive, is a social studies concentrator in Quincy House...

He was a murderously jealous cafe owner in Road House and a racist punk, spilling out vile epithets to noble young black doctor Sidney Poitier, in No Way Out (where he has a wonderfully sniveling final scene). Sam Fuller cast him as the pickpocket in the memorably lurid Pickup on South Street.

...been smart about that. Rich famous people getting free s___ looks bad. You look greedy. And I don't need a cell phone with sparkles on it," he says. He sends handwritten apology letters to the directors whose scenes he ripped off in the movies he directed-Mike Nichols, Sidney Lumet, Sydney Pollack. He drives an electric car and a Lexus hybrid but won't be a spokesman for the environment because he flies a private jet. He feels passionately about Barack Obama but refuses his pleas to campaign for him-other than an introduction in late February in Cincinnati...
