Grasping At Straws

While some express outrage at the "outrage" revolving around Coretta Scott King's Funeral Ceremony, I'd just like to point out some things.

1. It's a sad day when someone can't talk about civil liberties and peace during the funeral of someone who worked to advance civil liberties and peace.

2. It's a sad state of affairs when the best the critics can do is bash a person who has long since left elected office. I mean, what does trashing Jimmy Carter do? Is this how conservatives plan on rallying their base for the November elections? If so: yikes.

3. It's sad that it took Ms. King's death to get President Bush away from his traditional, pre-screened environment. It must have been so awkward for him to be around so many black people that he didn't personally appoint to a Cabinet position. And for Bill Clinton to get an almost eternal ovation from the crowd? See, Mr. Bush: that's what real admiration sounds like.

Right on with your evaluation of the funeral service. For once Bush was not insolated from opposing views. I am sure he got an earful of truth, too bad it will not make a bit of difference.

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen.

I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav
