Apparently it was recorded in London on January 20th.

I bet his theory on politics sounded a lot better while passing a bong.

Andrew Marr's on Sunday morning on the BBC. This was not live in his studio so presumably it was recorded before the inauguration. Andrew Marr is a political journalist, nothing to do with showbiz so one can't help but wonder how incompetent McConaughey's publicist is to have allowed him to go on a political show with…

He's probably got Fort Hood surrounded by Tea Party ladies in flowered hats, packin' heat.

No I wasn't aiming at you. I was only reacting to the fact that a story which could undermine the whole "Lost Cause" narrative which is unbelievably taking hold in the South (where I live) among the clinically insane and the hopelessly stupid, might be jettisoned by intelligent people who are over-reacting to the…

Rollin' Greg (as he's known… the one wheelchair-bound person it is impossible to have any sympathy whatsoever for) also had the Texas National Guard "monitoring" the activities of the U.S. Army during their Jade Helm exercise as he suspected that the U.S. Army was intending to invade Texas.

With the clinically insane governor of Texas Greg ("I sued a tree for $9 million") Abbott currently trying to re-write the US Constitution to protect "States Rights" (hint-hint-nudge-nudge), it sounds to me like this movie is more relevant than ever.

"The Free State of Jones" by Victoria Bynum is a painstakingly researched account of the rebellion and of the genealogies of the participants (in addition to Knight and his family, the Collins family of socialists were prime movers). But it isn't terribly exciting. In contrast "The State of Jones" by Jenkins and…

You don't have to worry about a lack of sex with Newton Knight. The man fathered 19 children with 3 women.

This isn't a "black story" per se. It's as much a story of class conflict as racial conflict.

Compare what he did with Hillenbrand's Seabiscuit to what Angelina Jolie didn't do with Hillenbrand's Unbroken.

Nah, he doesn't play evil well enough. How about J.K. Skinner? Hmm, no. Bryan Cranston.

French TV once invited Paul Bocuse ("le premier ouvrier de France") and, at that time, greatest living chef and blindfolded him and asked him to taste wines. He limited himself to saying "that's red wine" and "that's white wine", saying he couldn't tell any other difference between wines.

I presume this is a comedy and having just discovered McConaughey's cameos on Eastbound & Down, the man definitely needs to do more. Hopefully, this will also be a joyous takedown of the Koch Freres' greed and vindictiveness just before the elections.
