Sam/Samantha. Mom, wife, multifannish. Wishes she could post more Benedict Cumberbatch but unfortunately the world is burning at the moment.

Still one of my favorite bits of writing ever.
Is Madame Web a good movie?

No.

Should I see it?

You should see it immediately. Madame Web belongs in the Criterion Collection with a lengthy, labored essay justifying its inclusion. I would write it for free.

This man was ahead of his time.
Mr Rogers in a green sweater drawing on an easel: “Do you like to draw with crayons? I’m not very good at it. But it doesn’t matter.”Mr Rogers: “It’s the fun of doing it that’s important. Now I wouldn’t have made that if I’d just thought about it. Mr Rogers: “No matter how anybody says it is. It feels good have made something. The best thing is that each person would be different.” Mr Rogers: “In a way, you’ve already won in this world because you’re the only one who can be you. And that’s the way it’s supposed to be.”

We’ve come so far
Appearing recently on The Graham Norton Show, the Oscar nominee was asked if he ever auditioned for the “Like a Prayer” hitmaker.  “Oh, god, yes I did,” Benedict revealed with a laugh, though he didn’t reveal for what project. “She just sort of came in breezily, very late and had a clipboard in her hand.”

Mimicking a gesture of her holding up the clipboard to her face, the Power of the Dog Oscar nominee continued, “[She] said, ‘Yeah.  Benedict Cumberbatch… is that really your name?’ And I went, ‘Yes it is, Madonna.'” 

As the rest of the guests laughed, Benedict deadpanned, “I didn’t get the part.”

I love this.
On Monday, Mr. Bilton moved to conclude the meeting after roughly 15 minutes. He encouraged the assembled staff members to partake in the food that had been laid out.

“I just want to thank everyone for graciously being so welcoming,” Mr. Bilton said. “I look forward to talking to you in a one-on-one setting as these meetings are scheduled. And enjoy the bagels.”

The “60 Minutes” staff applauded Mr. Pelley after Mr. Bilton departed.

Major “I’m not mad, I’m disappointed” energy (although yes, the judge is absolutely mad)
I relied on all of you and your personal representations in this case about what has been issued in discovery, about the types of searches you have done for exculpatory material, about what arguments you will and will not make in this case. And I do that because, first of all, I treat every attorney who appears before me as an officer of the court. But secondly, because I put even more reliance on Department of Justice attorneys. Your sole goal is to do justice. Your client is Justice itself.

I do believe deeply in the presumption of regularity and that most government attorneys are doing the best they can to do the right thing. That trust has been broken.

Also: Charles Schulz.
In an interview in 1997, Schulz discussed receiving a letter from a Southern editor "who said something about, 'I don't mind you having a black character, but please don't show them in school together.' Because I had shown Franklin sitting in front of Peppermint Patty... I didn't even answer him."In a 1988 interview, he recounted other negative reactions towards the integration of Franklin with the white characters. “I finally put Franklin in, and there was one strip where Charlie Brown and Franklin had been playing on the beach, and Franklin said, ‘Well, it’s been nice being with you, come on over to my house some time.’ Again, they didn’t like that.” Schulz argued with Larry Rutman, president of King Features Syndicate at the time (distributor of Peanuts comic strips to newspapers). Schulz said, “I remember telling Larry at the time about Franklin—he wanted me to change it, and we talked about it for a long while on the phone, and I finally sighed and said, “Well, Larry, let’s put it this way: Either you print it just the way I draw it or I quit. How’s that?”
