Even though his Jack Lemmon and Johnny Carson impressions are now sounding alike, and I don't give a damn about "House of Cards," nor really bothered with too many of his movies, I thought he was sort of all right.
As a talk show guest, he was sort of a watered down version of Tony Randall crossed with Tom Hanks; slightly stuck-up and fussy but with a certain sly sense of humor.
He turned up on Letterman's show last night. All anyone can wonder, as he sits down, is "what's with that toupee? Could it be any further back on his head?"
It's farther back than here.
What's with the idea that somebody could have an amazingly receding hairline, but where it starts, it's thick and lush?
It's like the guy bought himself a furry yarmulke.
Then he started talking.
First, the erudite genius underlined his boast that he's been the manager of Merry Olde England's Old Vic for over a decade. How's that, Limeys...the American is THE authority on how to perform Shakespeare! Sir Ralph Richardson, Sir John Gielgud and Sir Laurence Olivier are gone, and the replacement is KEVIN SPACEY.
Next, he crowed about the success of his Netflix series. So far, I wasn't irked. The man is talented, and has reason to blow his own horn. Having a hit series AND running a prestigious BRITISH theater company might blow anyone's head so big that a toupee couldn't cover it.
I was even getting to like the guy when he offered a wry remark about bootlegging. He said "if you watch the show but don't subscribe to Netflix, you're ripping me off!"
Something like that. A confused David Letterman asked, "You can see it without The Netflix? How do people do that?" Spacey simmered, and didn't go into the details of what blogs, forums and torrents are all about. He did his Jack Lemmon impression instead, underlining that he was the NEW Jack Lemmon for a new generation...Mr. Everyman, adept at comedy and drama.
So, what ELSE is on your fancy plate, Mr. Kevin?
That's when he launched into his self-aggrandizing work with his fabulous organization that is designed to...are you ready...bring "The Arts" to the Middle East. Specifically, to encourage ACTING in the Middle East. After all, he enunciated to dopey Dave, there's just no place for an aspiring Arab to learn the craft of acting, and to get on stage wearing costumes and make-up.
That is, if you don't choose to consider Jihadi John, in his lovely villain cloak, beheading people on a platform.
As Letterman sat there in shock and awe, Spacey smoothly ticked off how he's found needy, deserving actors in the UAR, in Dubai, in Lebanon, in Palestine, all the countries of the Middle East...
Uh, did you MISS a country, Kev? Isn't there a country in the Middle East called...ISRAEL?
Kev's love of Arab boys, which might rival Lawrence the Buggered of Arabia, is well known and has, it turns out, been a source of grand admiration in the Liberal press.
Spacey went on to declare that through ART, through the STAGE, wonderful changes can be made, and we can exchange cultures. Why, he straight-faced, a few times, these Arab boys were actually on stage with...WOMEN.
Imagine that. In a stage production, it MIGHT be ok if women can join in. They might not be able to vote, or drive a car, or prevent their genitalia from being mutilated, but in some stage production promoted by an American actor as a tool to show how wonderful Arabs are, it might be ok.
So far, I heard a whole lot about how needy ARABS are being helped by his organization.
And I heard more than enough about how wonderful, cooperative, and forward-thinking Arab countries are.
But how come I didn't hear a word about Israel? How come Spacey wasn't mentioning that he was bringing Israelis into his company and everyone was getting along?
Where, in the midst of ISIS, and Iran's nuclear program, and the notorious female circumcisions and abuses throughout the Middle East, was there nothing but praise for Arabs and his dog-and-pony show, and nothing about Israel, and no real meaningful statement about Muslim women?
He said nothing about how his little acting organization has changed Muslim hatred and exploitation of women and Jews.
The topic of Israel and Jews did not come up at all.
This IS a guy with a hairy yarmulke pancaked on the back of his skull, isn't it? He almost looks Jewish with that toupee matted to the back of his skull. Isn't one of the biggest problems in the Middle East their desire to destroy Israel...and in fact, to destroy Christians, churches, and everything and everyone that doesn't involve a devotion to Allah?
Spacey closed with his tic-ridden imitation of clench-jawed Johnny Carson and all was well. And I do give him credit for ad-libbing a joke or two in Johnny's style, based on what had gone on previously on the show. The man has talent, BUT...
The ONLY place on Earth that deserves money, and his time and attention, is the fucking Middle East, sans Israel?
Somehow Israel has art and stage and can take care of itself, but the backward Arabs can't, and despite their money, this guy has to come in with a charity organization??
Why is it that these celebrities always seem to line up behind Palestine, and fret about the fucking Arabs? They act like this is the only place on Earth. Well, it's the only place with conspicuous oil-rich decadent wealth, that's for sure.
Spacey doesn't seem too concerned with poorer, or blacker countries like Somalia. Nigeria. Ghana.
Tell me, Kev, it's a laugh-a-minute in Ukraine? You don't think some people in Malaysia might benefit from your teachings? It has to be rich Arabs?
It's a little suspicious, and odious, when famous people deliberately choose rich, crooked bastards to promote. The anti-semitic bitch Michael Jackson just loved it in Dubai. Dubai has become the new "Sun City." You remember "Sun City," exposed as apartheid in South Africa. Now? Now the only apartheid nation on the globe is...ISRAEL. Maybe that's why Spacey has no Israeli actors in his troupe?
Why is it, that these very, very, very, VERY rich Arab nations need Spacey and his charity organization to come in, when they could be paying him? Or, are they paying him? What exactly IS this publicity game all about? So he can tell the world how wonderful the Arabs really are? While excluding Israel? Which sends a message that Israel is beyond dealing with? Because eventually Israel will be blown off the map anyway? That the area that was once Israel will be as barren of trees and orange groves as Spacey's forehead is of hair?
I wouldn't exactly say Kevin Spacey is an Arab shill and an anti-Semite, but I get the idea Mr. House of Cards might be involved in a crooked game.
