Overheard: Spacek, Duvall talk Chang
The Huffington Post reports that Charlottesville resident Sissy Spacek and Northern Virginia resident Robert Duvall enjoyed a wild night out at Wall & Water with Bill Murray at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of their film Get Low April 27. What did they talk about? Well, chef Peter Chang, of course. Turns out Duvall is a fan of the elusive Chinese chef, while Spacek didn’t make it to Taste of China before Chang split. Well, Dish hopes they know Chang has plans for a place in Short Pump.
Meanwhile, New York Magazine has a funny account of the dinner, before which a guy crashed the Get Low party by pretending to be a friend of Spacek’s daughter, Schuyler Fisk. Murray apparently tried to lose him by getting everyone to jump out of the car into rickshaws. As a joke, Murray then wrote a fake letter to Schuyler the next day pretending to be the guy and slipped it under her hotel room door, which had Spacek and her daughter calling hotel security and the police–- before Murray fessed up.

Sorry Nancy, this is just too important to be funny.
Nancy,
Feeding America fluff which may be inaccurate anyway, as a steady diet is in part responsible for a Congress run amok, a deficit beyond imagining, and the descent and irrelevance of the United States in the world stage. Journalists abrogating the responsibility to report real news first may be why many Americans know less about the working of their government and the difficulties with it than people in Switzerland, Russia, and even Zambia.
If you want fluff, Hello, the National Enquirer, and any number of other papers who don't pretend to masquerade as news sources are happy to accomodate.
Second hand hearsay, is not news.
Hey am I the only one just dying for a dedicated Chang Spotting page on the Hook? While we're at it let's have a "What's Schyler Doing Now?" corner too. This is fascinating stuff. They won't ship my Sun subscription here so it's the next best thing to Fergie's latest knicker exposure and William's Nazi costume.

Pretentious much? I hope that felt cathartic, even though it was wildly overstated. Unfortunately, you forgot to blame the Hook's innocuous piece for your inability to spell, punctuate, use standard sentence structure, or make reasonable claims.
JK this is the hook, much more Bias than any Rusian paper and worse than the Enquirer.
I'm getting worried-have people completely lost their sense of humor ?
That to me is more dangerous than people's ignorance of world affairs.
Yeah!!! JK for President
GoTeamGo is NoTeamNo
Could we try to stay on topic please? We need a plan to get Chang back to Cville. This story provides valuable information that we can use to that end. Let's see: Robert Duvall is a fan of Chang and Sissy Spacek did not sample his wares during his too short tenure here...
I got it! Bill Murray can help too. Murray asks Chang if he wants to ride in a rickshaw to Shortpump, Duvall tags along. As they travel down the Jersey Turnpike they spy Spacek hitchhiking and pick her up. Somewhere along the way they convince Chang to: COME BACK TO CHARLOTTESVILLE! Problem solved.

Oooh the Huffington Post says......
If I wanted to read the Huffington Post I would.
What happened to the reporters at the Hook? Everyone asleep?
"Lose" not "loose"--geez, now even pro writers are making this confounding mistake! LOSE!

I read Russia Today this morning, because it contained actual news (with bias of course) How can you justify any article in which you are reporting an overheard conversation from another paper, which incidentally is even more biased that Russia Today could ever think of being ?
Shoddy work people.
Lighten up, this is entertainment with local content. If the Hook hadn't picked this up I never would have had the chance to join in the fun, and yes I did enjoy knowing about this.
I'm going to ask this one more time. And I hope I can get an answwer this time, it seems to be a very hard question to answer...
People who do not enjoy reading The Hook, why even come here and do it?
Not true.
Start drinking grape soda with
meals and watch what happens! :)

Wait a minute...G***B might be deleted FFS!!!
Come on now, I said FFS...delete button quick. It's almost as bad as euphemistic scatological references Muffy.
Dear "Go Team Go",
Rather than setting out exactly how my statements were unreasonable in your view, you chose simply to state that they were overstated. Then, you criticized my spelling, punctuation and sentence structure. My post adhered to simple rules for e-mails, and is not generally graded as I might grade an essay or another form of more formal expository prose.
Your use of "pretentious much" is not correct in Britain or in US standard use.
Your assertions simply furthur prove my points.
JK - your statement that the U.S. is irrelevant in (sic) the world stage is an example of either unnecessary hyperbole or thorough ignorance of geopolitics. In either case, you displayed a lack of understanding of world events and conditions.
Oh, and it might help if JK knew the difference between email and a comment on an on-line article or blog post.
