I just got finished watching Ronin [imdb] with Robert Deniro and Jean Reno. It's a pretty awesome movie. I think Jean Reno [imdb again] is one of my favorite actors.

On a completely different note, last night I tuned into my NPR and heard, much to my surprise, the grating, condescending voice of Bill O'Riely! My former roommate, Richie, is a Fox News Junkie, so I got to know Mr. O'Riely from his show. I have long wondered what would happen if Billy-boy were to have a conversation with an articulate, intelligent liberal and Bill didn't have control over the situation, like on his show. He's a pretty smart guy, and amazingly good at arguing, but unfortunately, he usually resorts to bluster and bullying on his show. I would love to hear him go at it if he couldn't use those lame tactics and was forced to address the inconsistencies and hypocrisy he so cleverly expounds but conceals at the same time.

Unfortunately, rather than address the challenges Terry Gross[a link to the interview] was bringing to the table, he walked out of the interview. He held his own for a while, but when she was about to read a quote that pretty directly called him a hypocrite, he talked over her for a bit then walked out.

In discussion with Richie, later, he said "Yeah, it was disappointing, but not really surprising". It's true. Oh well.
