Peta, GreenPeace and Mensa, Oh MY!

Rating: Null/10 (26 July 2002)

Yes, Jame Gumb graphically underlined a slogan used very well in the '80's.... "The Best Skin Any of Us Looks Good in Is Our Own!"
Animal Rights, Feminist Rights, and just a good challenge to 'get to know your neighbor'! (Honestly, how many people were in that neighborhood and Unaware of the Situation!) I'm not saying we need to encroach on each other's personal space... But, really! There was a body in the tub...! For How Long...??? Okay, then!
Granted, now that the film has been out for soooo long, I want to tell you one of my favorite scenes... It's when the "hot shot" FBI Swat Team goes to the Wrong House! (I don't even think they had the right picture of 'Buffalo Bill'!)
Ted Levine is the Most Compelling Actor on the Face of this Earth today! Reason? He has the capability to play a scene with the finesse of a virtuoso violinist, regardless of whether it's a cold-blooded, emotionally tortured serial killer who just 'wants a new suit'... But, he's also quite adept at portraying kind, sensitive, loving, and very complex characters such as "Jake" in the film "Georgia"... Or, he can be an oafish and officious boil-on-the-butt, (Poor Gen. Woodman!)! Able to shift between Very Heavy Crime Drama, (as the bad guy, even!) to Comedy, (cuddly, kind and nurturing!) He can Sing too! He's able to portray a character "with or without a message" attached to the portrayal, and is even able to make an intimidating character's disgusting 'hobby', almost 'understandable'! How frightening is That! Now, that's Power!! He's truly an Artist, and I'm very happy he has such Wonderful Canvases, (Television and Film!) Watch MONK on Friday Nights at 10 on USA! (Where he's both a Good Guy and a 'good guy'!) Oh, and as for the "Mensa, Oh MY!"...Well, you've gotta have a whopper of an I.Q. to get a Master's in Fine Arts!
