Did you catch Tim Robbins' performance at the National Press Club yesterday? I know that he's been vocally anti-war and all, but I've gotta think that the thing at the Press Club was a put-on. Either it was a magnificent piece of self-spoofing jocularity, or else the poor fellow has made the turn into Madonnaland, the magical land of irreversible self-importance. He kept screwing his face up like the crazy homicidal bomber guy he played in "Arlington Road" and insisted on speaking ominously with an affected, semi-English accent (again like the forementioned Madonna): "The administrasheeon now wants tyew silence those of us in the theatahhh..."

All in all, it was pretty hilarious stuff. Though I fear there's a possibility he might have been serious.
