At least we were rooting for him
• Desperately sad that Neil Hamilton, the former MP, ill-fated litigant, newspaper columnist and end-of-the-pier panto turn didn't make the cut in Ukip's list of Mep candidates. We did say in March that after a run of defections and such as the jailing of former Mep Tom Wise for expenses fraud, Nigel Farage would be a bit more rigorous about the selection process. The result was the so called "fruitcake" test. So many hopes were dashed. And it is a shame in its way, because we still have copies of the famous Guardian front page that carried a picture of Hamilton post his legal entanglement with us over cash-for-questions, and its banner headline, "A liar and a cheat". With a party motif slotted in, it would have made a nice election poster. Oh well, not to be.

Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York Oscar Campaign Scandal Pt.1: Miramax/Robert Wise's Martin Scorsese/Gangs Of New York Oscar Ad The plot got even thicker when Murray Weissman and others later claimed that Robert Wise himself had approached Miramax after reading another Op-Ed piece, this one — "Crashing the Party for Poor Marty" — published in Variety (Feb. 3, 2003) and penned by two-time Oscar-winning screenwriter William Goldman (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All the President's Men). In addition to calling Martin Scorsese "a giant ape director" who disregarded his screenwriters (and throwing in mean-spirited putdowns directed at Al Pacino and Robin Williams), Goldman wrote: "The Hollywood parties [Scorsese] is attending must make him want to barf, but there [he] is, glad-handing anyone in the vicinity who is an Academy member who might throw him a vote. "Miramax, the greatest movie company of the era (and the most...

Briefly: Ray Wise is one of the more imposing actors around. Though he sometimes gets cast in middling fare, the man retains a powerful sense of presence and is always a welcome sight. Twin Peaks and RoboCop fans will never forget him, but there are a great many entertaining performances in his long career. (I'll get pulled into a fairly silly thriller like Dead End [1] just because he's in the cast.) Now Mr. Wise has been cast in Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class, as a senior government official. The actor told IGN [2] "I'm playing the Secretary of State of the United States. I'll be going over there in the next couple of weeks," and added that he might "touch on" a few sequences involving significant visual effects. If Henry Peter Gyrich hadn't already appeared in X-Men I would hope that might be his character. I've avoided screeners of the...
