I love this picture.
First, because of how tone-deaf Key has obviously become that his first tweet from his ‘important job creating trip to meet movie executives’ that everyone is so cynical about is a picture of him hanging out with a TV star – who, I’m pretty sure, doesn’t make decisions on filming locations in blockbuster movies. (Does anyone seriously think movie executives make multi-million filming decisions based on meeting a PM anyway?)
Second, because of how awkward Key looks, arms limp, suit jacket unbuttoned, looking the wrong way, next to a guy who clearly knows how take a good picture.
And what does it say about your place in the world when you go to the movie stars, not the other way around ? Clearly, you’re not very important in the scale of things.
Anyhoo, caption contest.
Actually, I didn’t really meet Simon Baker. I just got one of my staff to photoshop me in.
GCSB surveillance has revealed that the real identity of Red John is Kim Dotcom.
“Now that I’ve finally found Red John, how do I get him to admit his crimes?”
PS: I just clicked on those scoop links to JK’s tweets. What a failure as a PM! He just likes schmoozing with the wealthy, famous and powerful.
His tweets are all about showing how rich and powerful he is to his followers. They have no other value.
Oh God I didn’t even know who Simon Baker was until I looked up the tweeter link. And the Mentalist? I mean: Lying Scumbag meets the Mentalist. I’m sure they could have used that for a plot line!
Geez, the things you have to do as a TV actor!
And for those who haven’t watched the show, Red John is the serial killer who murdered Patrick Jane’s (played by Simon Baker) wife and daughter.
LOL. Thanks
One of these men is a mentalist living in a world of greed, crime and lies. The other is an actor.

I know your name is Mr Key, but get out of my key light, you’re casting a shadow over may perfect American features!
Bland, ex currency trader, self made, twat PM
Don’t worry ’bout it. This shadow is nothing compared to the one I’m casting over my own country. Sorry, I don’t mean MY country, of course it’s YOUR country. Please come down and wipe your TPP shoes on us. Remember the old film biz saying about us kiwi’s – “Mexicans with cell phones”. I love show biz, especially you beautiful people. It’s unfortunate that behind the scenes there’s ugly, greedy film “industry” workers and actors who want reasonable conditions. Race to the bottom, creative sweat shop that’s what I preach…….. I how depressing. You don’t have any snuff movie shoots I can act in do you? LOL.

I’m sorry, is that actually English you’re speaking? Did you bring a translator with you?
Australian actor – otherwise good
Actually he’s australian.
I think we would be hard pressed to top the one Mr Dotcom apparently posted on his facebook

Yup. That brought out a laugh.
Planking fail.
Hey, you did those ANZ ads, so your sort of a banker too then. Can we be mates? Please…oh go on…
Mr Bean’s Overseas Holiday

sadly the audition was a disaster and the new remake of the Odd Couple movie has been shelved. key apologised for not reading the script and for never having heard of ‘auditions’, he quiped that normally he just gets tapped on the shoulder.
Tune in to watch statesmanship being reduced to entertainment.
“I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that trying to be cool by being photographed with a popular actor will endear you to the folks back home who’ve just realised that you’re a charlatan. You’re thinking that, failing that, it will at least be another snap to add to your ‘famous people I’ve been photographed with’ scrapbook from your days as PM. You’re thinking how Hawaii is so close you can almost taste it. You can taste it, John. Just give in and feel the pull of golf courses and sunshine, and revel in your minor celebrity status as a former PM of a tiny country at the bottom of the world. We live on Planet Key.”

I can’t or don’t understand why JohnKeyPM was tweeting about dinner with Jim Cameron (other than the rather sad look at how cool am am motives – how old is he, 12?)
“John Key @johnkeypm
With Director Jim Cameron and Producer Jon Landau, who have hosted dinner for me in LA. pic.twitter.com/DyfvVHTk”
It’s James as far as I can tell – except on twitter where James tweets as Jim
https://twitter.com/JimCameron
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Cameron
I imagine the GCSB briefed him on such matters?
hope he didn’t start dinner with “Gidday Jim”…. or Hekia Parata might give him a talking to about common courtesy
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/politics/news/article.cfm?c_id=280&objectid=10838208
its all rather confusing really
it’s to suggest that he is really close friends with Cameron, so knows him by his intimate diminutive – just like Spock called Kirk ‘Jim’
Kiwi fool meets Aussie cool.

“Having lost his own ability to recall, Key went to an expert to find out what he was thinking.”
lolololol
How disengaged the actor looks! Why Key’s vacuous smile – usually that signals another lie coming on!
Incompetence meets faux investigator… while actor looks on
I can’t wait to tell him about my movie idea ….

Hi I am Simon Baker an actor who pretends to read peoples minds.
Hi Im John Key I pretend to be a prime minister and I keep loosing my mind.
Perhaps someone should introduce Key to the actor off Unforgotten it might help.
One of these has the capacity to retain what they read for the next show, the other one does not.
No wonder Key has had to meet with GCSB 15 times this year because he keeps forgetting why he meets with the GCSB.
Of all the things i’ve lost i miss my mind the most
*smiles* Bollox I hope this guy doesn’t decide to live in NZ and then get caught up in some sort of scandal, nobody will believe it when I deny all knowledge of his existence. *smiles*
Must remember to ask about that “Amnesia Syrum In the Water supply” gambit. *smiles*
Bloody worked for me *smiles*
What’d they say again not more than once a month? …. or was it once a day?
Can you read bud, *holds-up-medicinal-bottle* …. what are the warnings again?
Who is the mentalist?
And…. the subject of Dotcom was raised “in passing” at the dinner party John Landau and James (Jim for John) Cameron threw for John Key.
Here is my version of how it went
“Pleased to meet you, I’d shake your hand, but Richie McCaw isn’t here.”
They’re thinking the same way. We live your world. ANZ.
Your thinking.. if you had been sucessfull getting Kim Dotcom extradited you would be standing next to Tom Cruise instead of me.
very good
Yeah I know, awkward eh but the folks back home lap up any shit I get up to, thanks mate you were oarsum in doctor who.
the Menatalist: “who is this guy?”
“Is this a cardboard cutout of a suit I see beside me?”
“So ah John is this your first psychosis? I didn’t realize you kiwis were so far behind the times.”
Sorry, what’s your name again? my memory is not too good.
Du yu think this suit fits me properly? Wut about the arms, bit short yu thunk?
Wut about the tie? Goes with the suit?
Wut if I keep the smile goin? Wutcha think eh?
Please be my friend, I’ve got no friends, I forgot thim all……..
Can I hive a job soon?
I’ll be standing at attention plenty on this trip to Hollywood, hope I don’t lose the memory stick.
