Actress Ellen Barkin: ‘The Rapist In Chief’ Attacked Greta Thunberg
Left-wing actress Ellen Barkin took to Twitter on Thursday morning to call President Donald Trump a “rapist in chief” and claim that he has attacked teenage global warming alarmist Greta Thunberg. “The rapist-in-chief feels free to attack a 16 yr old young women[sic] but just don’t mention that his son is not royalty,” proclaimed Ellen Barkin on Thursday via Twitter.

Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend!

‘Bob Fosse’s Dancin’’ on Broadway Is Spectacular, Mostly
The thrills of the revival of Bob Fosse’s Dancin’ on Broadway (Music Box Theatre, booking to September 17) are many, and pulsatingly beautiful to behold. There is, principally, the mesmerizing dancing of the 16-strong cast (one was absent from the performance this critic attended), and around them all that accentuates their physicality: Robert Brill’s simple design of scaffolds and descending curtains, Reid Bartleme and Harriet Jung’s sexy, playful costuming, David Grill’s lighting (bulbs of all colors flashing, spotlight beams, bright color baths for backgrounds), and Finn Ross’ video design. Wayne Cilento’s direction and staging throbs with razzmatazz, but also mischief and subtlety. Cilento danced in the original production, and is aided in his efforts to hew close to, and respectfully tweak, Fosse ’s choreographic and creative template by Christine Colby Jacques. Dancin’ is mostly spectacular, until it suddenly isn’t—before ramping itself up again for the finale. An … [Read more...] about ‘Bob Fosse’s Dancin’’ on Broadway Is Spectacular, Mostly

Saudi Arabia Assails Canada Over Rights Criticism, Sending Message to West
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Saudi Arabia lashed out at Canada on Monday for criticizing the recent arrests of Saudi rights activists, and threatened to break off trade with other Western countries if they too spoke out about political repression in the kingdom. The unusually harsh response by the Saudi government was the latest evidence that while Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is promoting himself as a reformer , championing the loosening of conservative social norms and opening the economy , he is also prepared to punish any perceived challenge to his authority at home or abroad. Faced with economic troubles at home, and a restless, young population, the crown prince has carried out a crackdown that is extraordinary even by the standards of an absolute monarchy that has never allowed much room for free speech. After what once would have passed as a pro forma complaint from Canada, Saudi Arabia expelled the Canadian ambassador, withdrew its ambassador from Canada and froze new … [Read more...] about Saudi Arabia Assails Canada Over Rights Criticism, Sending Message to West
