New Monthly Feature-Chris reviews the new issue of Esquire
The January issue cannot be judged fairly because they refused to print the blurb that I e-mailed them. I was taking advantage of their invitation to submit a sentence or two about "What I've Learned" from my life. I submitted several, but the best one was "That swinging kitchen door in Threes Company was an accident waiting to happen." Alas, they choose 50 others, including the chestnut "Naps, naps, naps, naps." from Mike Legeros, 39, in Raleigh.
In other Esquire news, film and TV critic Mike D'Angelo profiles The Life Aquatic, and continues to be a suitable substitute for the legendary Tom Carson. I look forward to that new Wes Anderson film. Chuck Klosterman has his finger on the country's pulse again with an article about why American's so often feel "betrayed" by their own popular culture. The gorgeous Maya Rudolph of Saturday Night Live offers this month's 10 Things You Didn't Know About Women, and Cal Fussman's interview with George Clooney makes me like the actor more than ever. He's thoughtful, progressive, and quite down to earth. That being said, I don't mind if he continues to channel Sinatra's "cool" in his Ocean's 11 series; but his "pack" needs to stop dissing the original. Be grateful for the chance to stomp on hallowed ground.
New Daily Feature -
Dumb questions Chris heard Larry King ask on CNN, even though he only watched the show for 5 minutes.
During Saturday night's interview with Donald Trump:
"Were did the phrase ("You're fired") come from?"
"Do you enjoy saying it?"
He then instructed Trump to say it to him, and Trump obliged.
