  • Sharon Stone: Bush a Problem for Lesbian Kissing

    From “The Headline Writes Itself” Department, we get this interesting political statement:

    Sharon Stone blames US President George W Bush for the absence of a lesbian kissing scene in Catwoman – because of the current conservative climate in America.

    Basic Instinct star Stone, 46, was keen to enjoy an intimate moment with Oscar-winning co-star Halle Berry, but believes a puritanical streak running through the country put an end to any potential girl-on-girl action.

    Stone says: “Halle’s so beautiful and I wanted to kiss her. I said, ‘How can you have us in the movie and not have us kiss? That’s such a waste.’

    “That’s what you get for having George Bush as president.”

  • Star Wars ROTS

    I’m not too sure Lucas gave any thought to the acronym before he announced the title of the next Star Wars movie.

    Next year’s third and final installment of the “Star Wars” prequels will be called “Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith,” the film’s producers said Saturday.

  • Movies Really Can Put You in the Mood, Study Finds

    As I’ve long suspected, chickflicks suck the testosterone out of a man.

    Sentimental films such as “The Bridges of Madison County” caused levels of the hormone progesterone to rise by more than 10 percent in both men and women, the team at the University of Michigan found.

    Women’s testosterone levels were unchanged during and after the Clint Eastwood movie about a love affair, while men’s testosterone levels fell.

    “The Godfather Part II” aroused a different sort of passion. While watching the crime and action film, men with the highest levels of testosterone had them soar by as much as 30 percent more.

  • Cohen: F9/11 So Bad It Could Help Bush

    In the latest column of liberal Richard Cohen, the film Fahrenheit 9/11 is shredded, both on methodology and relevance.

    I go on about Moore and Ellis because the stunning box office success of “Fahrenheit 9/11” is not, as proclaimed, a sure sign that Bush is on his way out, but instead a warning to the Democrats to keep the loony left at a safe distance.

    Unfortunately, it may be too late for the Dems to keep the loony left at arm’s length. In fact, it seems the loons are the rudder of the good ship Democrat, steering hard a’port.

    It is so juvenile in its approach, so awful in its journalism, such an inside joke for people who already hate Bush, that I found myself feeling a bit sorry for a President who is depicted mostly as a befuddled dope.

    I fear how it will play to the undecided. For them, I recommend “Spider-Man 2.”
