There's nothing as reliable as your international readers to remind you that you've written three posts in a row about American football.
Meryl Streep is playing Margaret Thatcher, which means it's time for another round of The English Complaining about Americans Portraying the English, which isn't as utterly compelling a movement as it sounds. On their protest placards Streep joins Paltrow, Zellwegger, Blanchett, and my personal favorite, the Harry Potter kids back before they were cast but were presumed to be Americans, so they were protested proactively.
Meanwhile, quietly, Daniel Day Lewis plays Lincoln. Gambon, Branagh, Hopkins and Hopkins again were LBJ, FDR, Nixon and Adams. British actors are now playing Superman, Batman and Spider-Man.
I would protest, but I'm too busy admiring our national self-confidence to care.
