The film and television industry is all about telling lies -- most (but sadly, not all) of which appear on camera. Crafting screenplays and putting them up on screen is what Hollywood is all about: the creative process of telling well-constructed dramatic and/or comedic lies.
That's what good fiction is: a beautiful lie.
Bad fiction (Hi there, Michael Bay!), not so much.
So, yeah ... I've got nothing for April. Hey, I've been busy beating my head against the brick wall of The Book, and something had to give. There's a new post in the works, but it's at least a month away, which means now's the time (ahem: again) to pull a re-run from the archives, scrape off the digital dust, and pretend that you haven't read it ... and given that it went up in 2011, most of you have probably haven't. Even if anybody did, I doubt they'd remember anyway.
Ladies and gentlemen -- drumroll please -- without further ado, an "encore presentation" of The Little White Lie.
* It was among the hundreds of fake rats (lies, I tell you, lies!) that appeared so long ago in the benighted film The Sword and Sorcerer.
