When I read that Saddam Hussein wanted to debate George Bush on international TV, I felt my first–and I trust, last–twinge of sympathy for the man. His world is about to come crashing down, and he wants the ultimate Reality TV show. The critic Andrew Sarris told me that when he was a boy, the ordinary people interviewed in newsreels in movie houses had zero stage presence. But now, he said, people sound better on camera because everyone has thought of having his own show. Next for Saddam–Are You Hot? He’s a mass murderer, but he’s also a slob, like the rest of us.
