Greg said over on the livejournal thread that, especially early on, the Hannah Montana TV show got over on its writing more than its acting, except that Miley is catching up as an actress. I only saw one episode, and an old one at that, but I wasn't pulled away from the story by seeing any obvious incompetence. I thought they should have ratcheted up the embarrassment more, since the premise of the episode was that dad gives Miley clothes that embarrass her. I did think she had a certain rapport with the bloke who plays her father. But as I said over on lj, the most alive thing on the show was the ridiculous dance Miley and Oliver do under the final credits.

Oh pish posh. He exploited the potential of cinema much more than either Chaplin or Keaton (both of whom, yes, exploited it exceedingly well and have many masterpieces under their belts). Tati may have surpassed Lewis on that level but he lacks Lewis' grotesque personality which is essential to his life-affirming effect. I'm reminded of something Richard Barrios's disdain for Al Jolson (a key Lewis progenitor) in The Singing Fool: "Charisma, when applied this relentlessly, becomes oppressive." But yo, Richard, that's precisely why we go to the movies (or listen to, I don't know, Morrissey): to witness a gargantuan, out of control ego as a way to measure the contours of our own steady paths. If I wanted an even-keeled experience, I'd knock on my neighbor's door and ask to borrow some sugar.

An Apology For Shakespeare: Bold New Book Defends Poetry & Classic Literature, as Antidote to Culture of “Vanishing Ideals”
S.A. Joseph’s ‘An Apology for Shakespeare’ proves that the diminishing popularity of poetry, its themes and wider classic literature is a vital part of modern society’s rapid downfall. In a world where Satan’s influence runs high, the book and its explorations seek to reassert God’s influence. Joseph considers Shakespeare to be the great poet of all time and a “master of the arts”; someone whose words and concepts can still heal the world hundreds of years after they were created.
