Thou Val Not Kilmer

Page Six says:

Val Kilmer — in London to star onstage in "The Postman Always Rings Twice" — has been trashing Americans, saying they are ignorant and illiterate. Asked how British audiences compared to American ones, Kilmer told London's the Sun, "They're smarter. They read books." Kilmer berates Broadway for becoming too "Vegas-like."

Wow. This from a man who couldn't manage a decent portrayal of Jim Morrison.

Y'know, I love it when actors misinterpret their celebrity for wisdom. So what's Val Kilmer's excuse? This guy couldn't get work as a bartender in this country. As John Frankenheimer once said, "I wouldn't cast him in The Val Kilmer Story." Is this the reason behind his bitterness?

Don't get me wrong. I do not for a moment believe that our nation is above criticism. Far from it. But, I will not tolerate someone as worthless as THAT throwing the stones.

Really, this is just an extension of my petty hatred of Jim Morrison. Don't take it too seriously.
