The cartoon character Pogo by Walt Kelly is best remembered for his line, “We have met the enemy, and he is us.”
That sentiment was the underlying theme of Bill Maher’s Real Time on Friday, as the comedian and his guests explored the various ways that America remains divided, often by our own hand.
B.J. Novak of The Office was up first. His new film comedy, Vengeance, has undertones of the social struggles that divide America. Maher played up that angle, asking about the red state/blue state divide and how it’s possible to love those who don’t share your views.
What’s separating us, Novak said, is more about emotion than the argument. He suggested that we stop “picking at the scab” of the things we disagree about, and focus on comedy, sports, art, “or sitting down over dinner. That is a start.” He added, “There is no separating. We’re stuck.”
Gatekeepers worry too much about hurting the audience with controversial points of view, Novak said. “Audiences can be trusted,” He later added, “People are worried that other people are too sensitive.”
This week’s panel discussion joined Catherine Rampell, op-ed columnist at the Washington Post and political and economic commentator for CNN, and Noah Rothman, associate editor for Commentary Magazine and author of The Rise of the New Puritans: Fighting Back Against Progressives War on Fun.

Rampell wasn’t buying it in total, noting, “We just had a vice president who could not be alone with a woman.” She said she was “more worried about

The Son star Hugh Jackman told the Venice press corps today that his role in the film has had an impact on how he behaves with his own kids. “For many, many years as a parent the job was to appear strong and dependable and never worried and I don’t want to burden my children. But certainly since this movie I’ve changed my approach. I share my vulnerabilities more with my 17- and 22-year-old and I see their relief when I do.”
Stalwart indie filmmaker Bill Pohlad today premeres in Venice Dreamin’ Wild. His directing follow up to the critically acclaimed Brian Wilson film Love & Mercy also follows a music story, though one far less familiar. Casey Affleck, Noah Jupe, Zooey Deschanel, Walton Goggins and Beau Bridges star. When Donnie Emerson (played by Affleck and Jupe) was a teenager growing up on his father’s farm in Fruitland, Washington (population 791) he spent his days writing music and dreaming of becoming a music star. And everyone in the family became invested in that dream, including his brother Joe (Goggins) who became his drummer, and especially his father, Don Sr (Bridges). He mortgaged his farm to build a $100,000 recording studio, and more to help Donnie make and release his first record. It went nowhere and the bulk of the farm had to be sold when the loan came due. But 30 years later, the overlooked album was rediscovered by the music scene. Suddenly Donnie, who continued to struggle and write and play his music, had gotten a taste of his childhood dreams. But it comes with the guilt of failure that haunted him for years, and involves having to play the songs that meant something as a teen, but not as a 50 year old man who has evolved as a musician. And it is all true.
