The James Clayton Column: No more Mister Nice Morgan...

); Blame his personal assistant (I imagine she's a prudish menopausal mother of sixteen called Patricia who spends her free time practising her ‘disapproving look' in the mirror) that sorts through the mass of scripts the man must receive and bins anything that doesn't conform to type.
Though it'd never pass through Patricia's filter, I reckon it'd be awesome to see Morgan Freeman made up with fangs and claws and on the rampage in a monster flick. Picture the scene: our much-loved hero dressed up in Victorian gentleman's attire on a midnight stroll through the park.

“Who could possibly operate a farm or a ranch if their animals didn’t have access to water? That’s preposterous,” Alderman John Williams said.
“I don’t think that’s the intent of the ordinance,” Smith said.
The Board agreed.
