In his New Biographical Dictionary of Film, British critic David Thomson says of actress Rachel Weisz:

Yes, she’s Jewish and unwilling to do anything to mask it – including putting a damper on her vigorous intellect.”

Hahahaha! What a fucking moron!  I’d make him Cunt of the Week™  if I weren’t so lazy tonight.

This absurd quote was brought to my attention by an argument on Twitter, in which an Australian film critic kept insisting that Mr. Thomson is trying to give Ms. Weizs a compliment, as opposed to exhibiting any racism.

I jumped into the argument, suggesting that exchanging the word “Episcopalian” for “Jewish” would demonstrate what a preposterous statement it is.   Another guy had already asked in exasperation,  Why should she have to ‘mask’ her Jewishness in the first place? But the Australian guy wouldn’t budge.

At times like this, I wonder if  I’m giving people too much credit for being even moderately sophisticated.

Anyway, David Thomson, what a fucking cunt™ !
