Does every interview need to include a ritual denunciation of Donald Trump? New Yorker writer Helen Rosner interviewed Spanish actor Antonio Banderas about his role in the upcoming biopic about the late Anthony Bourdain, as you can see in "Antonio Banderas’s Acts of Faith."

First Rosner praises Banderas for his outstanding performance in that film, as "Tony":

Antonio Banderas is outstanding in Tony. It’s a movie that a lot of freepers will like. It is NOT woke, and a lot of it is pretty funny as the feckless Vasser man Anthony Bourdain spends a pretty tough growing up summer getting his head handed to him.

Banderas showing some sense, unlike his idiotic countryman Javier Bardem.

They’re obsessed. They find a way to work their TDS into everything.

I occasionally meet with a group of friends for dinner and there are always three or four people in attendance whom I didn’t know previously.

Almost *every* time, some idiot finds a way to work a TDS comment in. It’s always at the end of the dinner when we’re settling our checks and close to leaving because deep down they know it’s not cool. And it’s always a stupid white liberal woman.

They simply can’t help it.

“They’re obsessed. They find a way to work their TDS into everything.”

It’s almost laughable how hard they try.

and of course, Francisco Franco saved Spain for multiple generations. The communists would have ruined the country a long time ago instead of now had they won back in the 1930s.

Yup... There are several stories out there about the Cyclospora lettuce that’s giving everyone projectile vomit and bouts of diarrhea at the same time... Apparently that’s all Trump’s fault.

Big deal.

Newsbusters is a good site.

All sites use ads.

I get tired of long unedited full posts that repeat the same 4 paragraphs over and over.

I "DESTROYED" this place? Ironically, by attributing all that power to me you have definitely inflated my ego.

If I posted the entire text you would be whining about my formatting. BTW, speaking about inflated egos, may I present this to the jury: "I speak the truth, I speak my own mind. I dont follow the flock and never did." I'm surprised that you forgot to declare that "I am THE Science." However, I forgive you my son since you came pretty close to declaring that "I am the the Truth, the Way, and the Life."

Absolutely no reason this guy couldnt have posted the titled material!! I dont give a rats ass if he was here one day longer than me. His ACTIONS make that totally irrelevant.

CRIME OF THE CENTURY!!! I am "MAKING" you click on a link. Can you ever forgive me? "MAKING" people click on links is a crime WORSE than mass murder.
