France honoring Jerry Lewis and Sylvester Stallone isn't any stupider than American academics embracing Derrida or Lacan. Or Paul LeMan! I stood up and cheered, at Rocky, and Jerry Lewis used to crack me up. ( I do hope Billy Bob Thornton doesn't make Sling Blade II-VII.) Anyone who remembered One False Move went straight out to see Sling Blade, and Phillipe Noiret's Coup de Torchon was as good an adaptation of Jim Thompson as one could make.
