[Et påskeæg fra] Erik Refner, senior.
Jeg havde altså fået ham helt galt i halsen. Jeg troede at ham dér Sean Penn havde et par velfungerende hjerneceller. I hvert fald forekom det sådan på filmlærredet.
Jeg har nu altid syntes, at der var noget underligt ved de fleste af disse Hollywood-skuespillere. Med alle de ”karakterer” de påtager sig, kan man få den tanke, at de ikke har nogen anelse om, hvem de selv er. At de efter forgodtbefindende ifører sig en ny rolle hver dag, lige efter de har besluttet sig for farven på underbukserne. Men hvad ved jeg?
Med et ak og ve kan jeg nu bare konstatere, at endnu en af mine (mindre) illusioner er opløst til den intethed, hvorfra den kom. Men helt ærligt – findes der en negativ afdeling på IQ-skalaen, må Penn bestemt ligge dér.
Og russerne, de stakkels altid TV-forfulgte og nedvurderede russere. Jeg er ret sikker på, at alle – fra Putin, Gerasimov og Shoygu og helt ned til de svedende chechenske tallerkenvaskere – ryster ustoppeligt i bukserne -af grin – efter at have læst artiklen nedenfor.
Gamle Gøg og Gokke film er gået lidt af mode, så hvorfor ikke køre nogle af Penns gamle krigsfilm i stedet? De vil med garanti kunne sætte gang i lattermusklerne i disse ængstelige tider. Jeg har hørt, at man kan helbrede mange skavanker med en god latter, og det vil sikkert være noget, som amerikanere og russere kan enes om.
Hvilken ærke-jubel-idiot ham dér Penn
Himmel-og-havskum, hvilken ærke-jubel-idiot ham dér Penn. Denne oldinge-mærkede og på alle måder nedslidte tumpe vil falde død om af skræk første gang en russisk Spetsnaz kaster et blik på ham.
For hvad går han egentlig og tænker på i disse tider? Han stiller sig selv et meget alvorligt spørgsmål: Skal han gribe til våben mod russerne?
Hans mine taler sit tydelige sprog: Stålsat, alvorlig, Zelensky-hengiven – eller måske bare en lille bange hundehvalp, der nok kom til at gø lidt for højlydt?
Det er uvist, om han selv vil eller kan finde et svar.
Sean Penn says he is ‘thinking about taking up arms against Russia’

Actor Sean Penn is continuing to voice his support for Ukraine amid Russia’s unprovoked invasion of the country.
The 61-year-old “Dead Man Walking” star has been working on a documentary about escalating tensions in the country since last year, and flew to Ukraine in February to get a firsthand look at the war.
After spending some time on the ground in Kyiv, the actor told Hollywood Authentic magazine that he recently thought about taking up arms against Russia.
“If you’ve been in Ukraine [fighting] has to cross your mind,” Penn said in the interview published Saturday.
“And you kind of think what century is this? Because I was at the gas station in Brentwood the other day and I’m now thinking about taking up arms against Russia? What the f— is going on?”
Penn continued: “The only possible reason for me staying in Ukraine longer last time would’ve been for me to be holding a rifle, probably without body armor, because as a foreigner, you would want to give that body armor to one of the civilian fighters who doesn’t have it or to a fighter with more skills than I have, or to a younger man or woman who could fight for longer or whatever.”

The Ukrainian embassy released a statement on Penn’s efforts to film the documentary following the actor’s visit to Kyiv.
“Sean Penn demonstrates the courage that many others, especially Western politicians lack. The more such people in our country now, true friends of Ukraine, who support the struggle for freedom, the sooner it will be possible to stop Russia’s treacherous attack,” the Ukrainian embassy told Newsweek in a translated statement.
In his Hollywood Authentic interview, Penn also opened up about meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “the day before the invasion” and being with him “during the invasion, on day one.”

Seeing Zelensky on that day, he said, “it struck me that I was now looking at a guy who knew that he had to rise to the ultimate level of human courage and leadership. I think he found out that he was born to do that.”
Russia’s attack on Ukraine continues after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a large-scale invasion on Feb. 24 using land, air, and naval forces.
