This is the best dissection of Ed Harris' silly comment I've read, bar none. It even comes with this little gem:
...It's not necessarily my heaven, but it's nothing close to hell.
That's a country song waiting to happen. Hop to it, Freeper bards!

"I'm not a man, but I've played men in the movies." - Ed Harris

I will never tire of actors speaking out, because it provides the same amusement of watching dogs walk on their hind legs. The sight itself is hilarious, and it always ends with the performer falling over. Lileks is a genius.

Good article, it scratches exactly where Harris caused an itch.

Will someone PLEASE tell me why Lileks is not a syndicated columnist running in major american newspapers??
He's articulate, funny, cogent, irreverant, ... I savor every word he writes. I don't get it.

The effete emasculated non-threatening white male has been turned into a high cultural ideal and still these lib clowns are angry at the world. I have to agree with Savage, it must be sexual repression.

That's a country song waiting to happen. But how we gonna get Patsy Cline to sing it?

Fisk-like, I know that I earned itROTFL. Sort of a Geraldo - chair moment. Thank you for this post. Good of Mr. Lileks to put Ed's name in the title. The star shouldn't have any problem finding this. (^;
Mr. Harris must be a great actor, though. From his movie roles I would have guessed him to be a man - perhaps even an honorable man - in real life.

It must be tough for Ed Harris. Pretending to be a real man for his whole career only to discover you can't find it in a tanning booth or a hair salon.
And then to have it displayed so casually by a guy who doesn't even look to be trying.
It must be tough to be Ed Harris.

I'm sure Harris believes he knows what a Man is...After all, he's played one in the movies a time or two, hasn't he?

How could Ed Harris star in Apollo 13 and learn absolutely nothing about the kind of men the cast portrayed???
