Open Plea To Kevin Spacey
Posted on | December 6, 2007 | 13 Comments
Sometimes, as I am have my morning coffee, lounging around in the comfort of the Minnie Winnie, looking at the frozen rain, I think to myself; “I wonder what two-time Academy Award winning actor Kevin Spacey is up to these days”. Last time we saw Spacey he was hanging out down Venezuela way with our good friend, recording artist and T.V. host Hugo Chavez.
Hmmm… That’s odd isn’t it? A genius, thespian hanging out with a power hungry tyrant like Hugo Chavez. I wondered what his mindset was. Was Spacey looking for a way to crack into the lucrative Venezuelan film industry? Probably not.
Was this because that other genius, thespian Sean Penn had already been there?
You know, like a “keeping up with the Joneses” type of thing; “That bastard Penn, isn’t fooling me, he’s up to something. Book me a flight to Caracas, Charles”
Hugo is working that left hand, isn’t he?
Well, I figured it out. Kevin Spacey was with Hugo to promote peace. That’s right, that’s what Spacey is all about. Spreading goodwill and promoting peace.
Don’t believe me, check out this Breitbart/AFP piece “US actor Kevin Spacey to co-host Nobel concert”.
That’s right, every year the Nobel Peace Price people put on a big concert to celebrate, well….I don’t really know what they are celebrating. But, the point is, they picked Kevin Spacey over all of the other genius, thespians to host. Well, actually he wasn’t the first choice.
US actor Kevin Spacey will co-host the traditional Nobel concert in Oslo next week honouring the Nobel Peace Prize laureates, replacing Tommy Lee Jones who has pulled out, organisers said Thursday.
Hold it hold it hold it. Thespian Tommy Lee Jones has pulled out? Wait a minute, doesn’t Tommy Lee Jones have a long-time connection with this years co-winner Al Gore? Surely, Al will be at the show. We know he loves a good concert, right? I wonder why Tommy Lee Jones won’t be there.
Tommy Lee Jones, who was Al Gore’s roommate at Harvard University, was due to have co-hosted with Thurman but was forced to pull out “for personal reasons,” the organisers said.
“Forced” to pull out for “personal reasons”. This is one of those things celebtrities can do. Try that one on your boss tomorrow. “Sorry, I am forced to not show up at work today for personal reasons”. Maybe Tommy Lee is going to Venezuela instead.
Off the subject though.
Kevin Spacey is going to co-host (with Uma Thurman; Yea!!) the Nobel Peace Prize concert. That shows me that Kevin Spacey is all about promoting peace and that in turn, clears up what Spacey was doing in Venezuela; promoting peace.
It makes as much sense as Al Gore getting a peace prize for putting together a slide show.
That’s nit-picking though. The whole point is; It’s Time To Partaaayyy.
All Nobel Prize winners and Global Warming consciousness raisers agree on one thing. There is a time for the back-breaking work of raising consciousness/promoting peace and a time to let your hair down. The best way to let your hair down is to have a hip, cutting edge rock show.
Organisers have also announced that Australian pop star Kylie Minogue will be among the evening’s performers, joining artists such as Annie Lennox, Alicia Keys, Melissa Etheridge, Earth, Wind and Fire, and Morten Harket, the lead singer of the Norwegian pop group A-Ha.
The guy from a-Ha????!!!
Kind of blows the credibility.
C’mon Kevin Spacey you sir, are better than this. We don’t need to see you hanging out in Oslo with the guy from a-Ha. We don’t need to see you rubbing shoulders with a Venezuelan parrot tamer.
These pursuits should be left to the b-listers, not a genius thespian. No sir, your time and talents are far too valuable. What we need, in these troubled times, is Kevin Spacey doing what he does best. Mr. Spacey, we need you to concentrate all of your prodigious gifts to once again making great movies like “Animal House”, “Footloose” and “Tremors”.
I speak for all of us, the humble, adoring fans, Mr. Spacey. Consider our plea.

Yo brother, have you seen hugos farwell speach where in the end he more or less says he is trying to protect his country from the usa? I wonder exactly where he will retire to, he seems to enjoy vacationing in the evil empire that he has dedicated his life to protecting his people from.You don’t have to live in the ozarks to have heard ” don’t piss up my back and tell me it’s raining”. I’m very, very, non political and haven’t ever paid attention to hugo until I got turned on to your site, so thank’s for a little insight.

Kevin Bacon was in Footloose and Tremors, not Spacey. Spacey was in that flick, K-Pax and Unusual Suspects (Who is Kaiser Sozay?)

Chris, good to have you in. I trust that all is well in the land of the 3 Legged Monkey (http://www.3leggedmonkey.com/). I’m hoping that ’08 brings a chance to witness the steamroller power of The Monkey in a live setting. Maybe?
“You don’t have to live in the ozarks to have heard ” don’t piss up my back and tell me it’s raining””
Well, you are an Okie for Christ’s sake, Chris. Oklahoma is like Ozarks Lite. Hillbillies without the hills.
As for Hugo, he is going away but, not quite yet. He was quoted saying this after his referendum lost.
“Prepare yourselves, because a new offensive is coming,” Chavez told viewers of the state-run VTV television station Wednesday. “These reforms are not dead.”
I have heard that the Hugo’s ex-wife is trying to drum up an amendment to shorten the Presidential term limit in Venezuela. Good for her.
Still waiting to hear from Sean Penn, Harry Belafonte, Jimmy Carter, Danny Glover, Kevin Spacey and the super model……

Jayne, is my sarcasm too subtle?
December 7th, 2007 @ 3:05 pm
Jack, not generally, but I may have just gotten derailed at that point.
December 7th, 2007 @ 3:25 pm
Ahhh…
Well, it’s not the first time my meandering grumblings have induced a derailment, I’m sure.

Hey Jack, us oakies prefer the term free range hillbillies or redneck for short.
We don’t have any plans to play live in the forseeable future as our keyboard player moved to montana, but I’m always hopeful because I love to perform live. I just bought my first gong, I’m allways looking for new sounds and allthough gongs aren’t new, I’ve never had one, so I might be able to conjer something different out of it.
ROLLO

Random post attack!!!!!
Saw this one on the random list and HAD to comment.
All levity to one side, in case you were seriously interested, Professor Spacey currently lives about a 15 minute walk from us. He runs The Old Vic theatre, close to Waterloo station in London, along with silent partner Sir Ian MacKellen, another fabulous luvvie who makes money by blockbustering the US then returning to The Thee-ate-her to recharge his thespianity.

HA!
I love it when people hit the archives and even more when they leave comments on the old posts.
Sir Kenski,
dos Yahtzee! for “Thee-ate-her” and “thespianity”.
