‘Invasion’ of Marvel shows
Summer means mandatory Marvel material.
“Secret Invasion” stars Don Cheadle, Olivia Colman, Samuel L. Jackson (one of nine producers, so there’s a marvel right there) says: “This is a back story. You see what he does when he’s home, where he lives, people from his past, life before he was Nick Fury and had ordinary friends. His roots.”
Listen, the thing’s a Marvel show.
Stuff explodes. Superheroes do super stuff. Earth’s invaded by Skrulls.
Colman says: “After every Marvel I say ‘Please, can I be in ANOTHER Marvel!’ ”
Yeah — and that’s a marvel right there.
Cheadle: “My character, the president’s right-hand man, gets more political than before.”
Right. And next installment probably gets indicted.
Some key points about Trump trial(s) explained
Your questions answered by experts about the most important case since Aaron Burr’s trial in the 1800s:
• Donald can run for president while he’s on trial. Early 1920s someone ran for that office while in prison. Nothing in the Constitution restricts that.
• His trial should be televised. Let all see the evidence, make personal judgment — not just learn via the prism of radicals who might promote only what they want forwarded.
• There will be many trials. New York, Florida, DC, maybe Georgia. It allows our right to hear and vote on economy, foreign policy, issues that affect all Americans.
• His legal team’s good. However, 65 Project, a radicalized attorneys bunch, threatens to intimidate and file complaints against them. Threatening defense due to dislike, however, is un-American.
• A rule of law is not Jack Smith’s job. His job is not to investigate. He’s just to pin the case on Donald. Prosecute one person or fail. Special Counsels are assigned to people with targets on their backs.
• One non-charge is the espionage statute. Nothing’s about espionage in the case. No claim he sold secrets to Putin or anybody else. So it’s a classified paper case.
• Impeachment’s for high crimes — treason, bribery. Donald’s first impeachment case was unconstitutional. Congress just didn’t like that he wasn’t cooperative with them.
It’s close enough
Things aren’t rosy down on Earth? Ain’t better up in the wild blue yonder. Monday. Westchester County airport. 3:08 p.m. Flight 1167. JetBlue to Florida. The attendant’s greeting on the PA: “Welcome on your flight to West Palm Bitch.” Passengers laughed at the pronunciation. She quick corrected herself with: “What can I say . . . I’m Puerto Rican.”
Birthday blahs
Forget the sky, things aren’t nifty on the road either. Joseph Sikora, star of Starz’s “Power Book IV,” and producer Noel Ashman co-celebrated co-birthdays at a West Side hot spot. A cake came out. Nothing was on it. Facing cameras both beauties faked blowing out their candles. Next time the kitchen will get its act together.
From an actress: “I’m all for yogurt, tofu, wheat germ, fish oil and all those other good healthy and nutritious things. But, please, not while I’m eating.”
Only in New York, kids, only in New York.
