FATALITY
A tweet from Joyce Carol Oates: overall takeaway from the Curtis Yarvin profile is that there must be millions of smart-aleck show-offy kids who annoy their teachers and go on to annoy other adults through their lives with their “contrarian” pose that hardens to a carapace over their faces; until, as adults, they still harbor a delusion that, if there is a king, or a fuhrer, he’d be impressed with the guys motor mouth and appoint him to his cabinet rather than deleting him with a negligent swipe of his wrist as Stalin did routinely.

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

Deciding which thread to pull in Paper Tiger (which identity you want to explore, which system you want to analyze, what part of the human condition you want to consider) first is a dizzying task, but an incredibly rewarding one. James Gray absolutely did not fuck around. See it.

James Gray's Paper Tiger (tonight @ NYFF64): For me, his best--an exceptionally mature, grounded, emotional crime/family drama. Beautiful work w/ actors: Adam Driver is characteristically great, Scarlett Johansson is impeccable in a surprising character role, and Miles Teller does career-best work.

PRIMETIME is great, intensely disturbing, and features Robert Pattinson giving what might be my favorite performance of the year by an actor: www.vulture.com/article/prim...

No One But Robert Pattinson Could Have Done Primetime
The actor’s unhinged performance as Chris Hansen, host of the mid-2000s reality hit To Catch a Predator, is a stunning demonstration of his range.
