The Mighty McDonald

Oh, the majesty that is Shooter McGavin.
Maybe Christopher McDonald likes his unusual fame niche. Maybe he doesn't want more recognition. Selfishly, though, I'd like to see more of him: As he gets older, maybe the brainless studio whores over there in Satan-land will realize he's a national treasure -- a fiendishly brilliant comic actor on a par with Peter Sellars, Alec Guinness, John Gielgud ... all he needs is MATERIAL, YOU SHORTSIGHTED, CRETINOUS GREEDBAGS. For the love of Christ, somebody, please, PLEASE give that beautiful bastard a DECENT SCRIPT!
Speaking of sleaziness, indie-band-of-the-moment Franz Ferdinand is scoring one of the sex scenes in Michael Winterbottom's upcoming sex-fest Nine Songs. In interesting trivia about the film, none of the sex in the film is simulated and, if released, it will be the most explicit film ever to hit British theatres. Among the other bands performing (music, you perv) in the film are the Super Furry Animals, Black Rebel Motorcyle Club and the Dandy Warhols. The Dandies are the only band that would seem, to the best of my knowledge, to fit with the content in a stylistic manner. But then again, what do I know about filming hardcore porn?
