One, and don't even THINK about 2, 3

ATTENTION. Alexander Solzhenitsyn is quite enough. If the Death Trifecta Ghods screw with Bernie Mac, I'm gonna hurt somebody. And don't even joke about Morgan Freeman. Do the DTG not understand what kind of year we're having? END TRANSMISSION. (ETA: Excuse me, did me not cover this? No words, but his friends had some nice ones.) (EATA: CHEF! NO! )

(EOMTTA: You know, I'm just going to do this kind thing for Samuel L. Jackson's safety and declare the third of the Trifecta to be Bernie Brillstein. This is sad in its own way; I temped for him once and he really was a rainmaker. Scary but cool, and in all the spare time I had I copied down every interesting number in his Rolodex. Yes, friends, I had in my very hands the power to dial Barbra Streisand's personal line...)

Funny how with the story on Morgan Freeman, they only mention his nice fuzzy almost grandfatherly roles, not any of his hard core dangerous motherfucker roles. Not even the times he played Alex Cross, which sort of blended the extremes. I am glad to hear he was joking at the scene, which is generally a good sign.

Bernie Mac never impressed me as much, though i have seen less of his work, most of what i have seen has been variations on the same character... but he does that character well.

I hope they both recover well enough to do some flicks together... Bernie may learn from Morgan.

Any body else read that choice as mental insurance on the part of the journalist? In case, you know, things had been rather worse than it appears they were. And now I will sit here and ponder what sort of movie could pair Bernie Mac (yeah, limited, but damn good in his zone) and Morgan F. -- dunno, but I'm pretty sure I'd buy a ticket!

Especially if they were both conmen I gather.
