Hugh Grant on his devilish role in new film ‘Heretic’: ‘This one’s brave and odd’

Did you miss me? I’m back

Me, back to work. To kvetch and bitch.

Annoyance: TV anchorettes. Skirts so short you can see where they no longer need touch-ups.

Hookers who now do crossword puzzles vertically so no need to come across.

Chelsea City Councilman Erik Bottcher on Christmas trees that have now lived with us longer than brothers-in-law: “Parks do mulch fests. They repay you with fragrant pine needles that freshen your old sweaters.” But won’t work with husbands.

One graying “analyst” squats in front of his kitchen plus his library of paperbacks which you can view.

Blake Lively’s lawsuit. She’s right. But WHY sign on to a filthy disgusting project like depicting oral sex in the first place? What ever happened to Shirley Temple?

Former LI Rep. George Santos, useless as a caterpillar, then zapped from Congress, has a podcast. About what? Who cares.

Don’t take the Brits for Grant-ed

America no longer has a central authority. Glued onto Bragg and Atlanta’s Fani Willis, the press went nowhere. Failing the law begets. Maybe 14 million unvetted foreigners are bedded down here.

Our White House need forget about making Greenland or Panama our 51st state.1812 we tried annexation. Went over as great as Kamala’s VP pick.

Great Britain had been kidnapping our sailors to work for the Brit Navy — as remembered by Bill O’Reilly, who reminded me of it — so in 1812 we figured we’d easily smash them as we did during the Revolutionary War. Didn’t happen.

And that’s when the “Star-Spangled Banner” was written. And ended with the Brits capturing parts of America. They even burned our capital.

When Britannia put down its guns and needed troops to beat back Napoleon, they let us alone and took their accents back home.

Wait. Even more. Could maybe be because those badly speaking people didn’t want it, but they even gave us back Detroit!

Speaking of those foreigners who talk through their noses, brings up Brit wit Hugh Grant. Creepy movie. “Heretic” is a devilish role.

Hugh: “If you can read a script without going for tea that’s a big box to tick. Most scripts I read are boring. This one’s brave and odd. Breaking rules. Not many locations. Depressing set. I thought I’m better at talking than listening so I could do something with this. I didn’t lose my faith but I did find some of the arguments extremely interesting.”

OK. Go. Say the devil made you do it.

Helping hand

Americans are the most generous people on earth. Even under high taxation and greedy companies and unrestrained capitalists gouging our working people, 2024 was a startling year for us. So the question is: Can it be that at least 10% of the human race is evil?

Or is that because of our unlawful guests — which means it’s only in America, kids, only in America.
