Stage Presence!

I too was one of the lucky people to Alan Rickman on Broadway in Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Stage presence is a gross understatement for him. He reeked of evil and charm. His every word resounded over the audience and he was the person on stage who commanded your attention. To add to his great performance, he dueled with steel swords that was convincing enough to wonder how, on the small stage area, he didn't impale his adversary and a call to audience for a doctor in the house would follow. m/r

Rickman's Worth :: SteynOnline

by Mark Steyn  Mark at the Movies  January 16, 2016

More or less exactly thirty years ago, I saw Alan Rickman in the role that made his name - as the Vicomte de Valmont in Christopher Hampton's Les Liaisons Dangereuses at the Royal Shakespeare Company's Barbican Pit. Theatre critics are overly fond of the phrase "a commanding performance", but I've rarely seen anything as commanding as Rickman on stage that night: he was a very palpable flesh-and-blood embodiment of the title. From about 20 minutes after his entrance, you could feel all around you that approximately 90 per cent of the female audience and 30 per cent of the male were just longing to be taken by him. I made the mistake of inviting a young lady along, and at supper afterwards she did her best not to make it too obvious that she found me wanting by comparison.

A year later, Rickman and Lindsay Duncan reprised their roles on Broadway and were the toast of the town. Another year later, Hollywood anglicized the title - Dangerous Liaisons - and Americanized the cast - Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Michelle Pfeiffer. Like Julie Andrews getting passed over for Audrey Hepburn in the film of My Fair Lady, it must have distressed Rickman. But his Mary Poppins came along in the form of Die Hard, and from then until his death a few days ago he was always in demand.

Ruining Bruce Willis' Christmas, he more or less inaugurated what ought to be an Oscar category - Best Brit Villain in a Hollywood Blockbuster. Hans Gruber is a German terrorist but played by Rickman with an icy Englishness so irresistible that, as political correctness scared the studios off any too obviously ethnic bad guys, he paved the way for a decade of supercilious sneering anglo-psychos - Jeremy Irons, Gary Oldman, Charles Dance... Rickman himself was hard to beat on this turf: indeed, he brought something of his Die Hard English villainy to the ascetic, bespectacled Eamonn de Valera opposite Liam Neeson in the Irish biopic Michael Collins. One wonders whether Kevin Costner had any regrets about letting him steal the show quite so thoroughly as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves - although it's hard to think of anyone else who could pull off lines like, "No more merciful beheadings! And call off Christmas."

Hillary Clinton's Lifetime Interview Was Remarkably Bad

     Hillary Was Interviewed on Lifetime and It Was the Worst Thing Ever

I almost threw up. 

By Katherine Timpf — January 14, 2016

Last night, Hillary Clinton was interviewed on a Lifetime show called “The Conversation” by host Amanda de Cadenent and a bunch of “YouTube stars,” and I must admit that it wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be.

It was much, much worse.

Earlier this week, Politico touted the interview as something that would be “showing off a softer side” of Mrs. Clinton. In other words: It would be her campaign’s 9 billionth attempt at humanizing her, an attempt to get voters excited about Hillary the Gal and not just Hillary the Candidate.

There’s just one problem: Hillary is not an exciting person. I’m a young and energetic insomniac, but this “interview” had me wanting to pass out before 11 p.m., and had I not been repeatedly jarred awake by the urge to vomit in disgust, I’m sure that I would have done just that.

It opened with Hillary (her chyron: “presidential candidate and grandma”) and de Cadenet sitting on a couch, gazing into each other’s eyes and smiling sheepishly like two high-school kids who had been left alone in one of their parents’ basements.

And it only got worse from there.

Wisconsin College Sports -- Chants That Hurt Peoples Feelings Are Banned

By Katherine Timpf — January 14, 2016

     Chants Including ‘U-S-A!,’ ‘Air Ball,’ and ‘Scoreboard’ Banned at Wisconsin High Schools

The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association sent out a reminder to schools that chants including “U-S-A” and “Air ball” and “Scoreboard” are officially banned at its games.

You know — because they might hurt people’s feelings.

Among the other cheers considered “sportsmanship infractions” according to the WIAA’s guide: “Overrated,” “You can’t do that,” and the popular “Na-na-na-na . . . hey hey hey, goodbye” song.

Unsurprisingly, the Wisconsin State Journal reports that there has been some backlash over the policy. One tweet shows a photo of students with duct tape over their mouths and the caption “Is this approved?”

But the WIAA is not backing down. Rather, it took to Twitter on Wednesday to remind everyone that it was not enacting any new policies, but simply reminding schools of the existing ones.

Kritarch Ursula Ungaro-Benages: Another Candidate for Impeachment | VDARE - premier news outlet for patriotic immigration reform

Federale  January 11, 2016

Judges will use even the most absurd rationales to enable illegal aliens to remain in our country. As our own Allan Wall recently revealed, an illegal alien homosexual from Mexico named Jose Crespo-Cagnant was allowed to stay in the country because of the nonexistent persecution of gays in Mexico. But the enablers of this kind of fraud have names. And one name patriots need to remember is Ursula Ungaro-Benages.

The judge in the case Wall examined,Ursula Ungaro-Benages, (contact her here ever so politely), a George H.W. Bush appointee, has a checkered history. She was accused of having an affair with a key witness in a trial she was presiding over, an affair which her ex-husband reportedly said ruined the marriage [Sexual affair between Miami judge, witness alleged amid tainted U.S. court proceedings, by Dan Christensen, Florida Bulldog, February 26, 2015]
