...first time, she thought he was "ugly" and "couldn't act." His image consultant now says Jaa is "uncool" and is urging him to get a new haircut. His English teacher despairs that two years of lessons have yielded little more than a rudimentary grasp of the language. Listen to his minders long enough, and you may start doubting the buzz that Jaa is Southeast Asia's long-overdue answer to Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan...
...left hungary in 1956 as a 20-year-old refugee. I was escaping from a totalitarian regime and the oppressive demagoguery of its political leaders. I could no longer stand to listen to the meaningless platitudes about the great success of the latest five-year plan. I settled in the U.S. to get away from that.

Indeed, he drops awkward hints about bringing troops home. He later compounded his tax felony--and reinforced his eerie similarities to Bush the Elder--by making...
...jazz developed by saxophonist Charlie Parker and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. In response to the domestication of jazz by the swing bands of the 1930s, Parker developed a defiantly anti-commercial style, one with solos so rapid-fire they were too fast to dance to--and almost too fast to listen to. Real hipsters have always disdained the mass market...
