Oh wow I know next to nothing about Pokémon but I know enough to know this is sweeeeeeeeeeeet

I recently saw “Stage Fright” for the first time and thought it was great fun, though not Top 5 material. Dietrich and Alastair Sim in the same movie was pretty great, though I have a lot of questions for Hitch about his decision to cast his own daughter as a character named “Chubby Bannister”

I’ve heard of this! Apparently cheese as collateral goes way way back in Italy. Honestly I get it

But then a whole new thing will follow and not a moment too soon

Not remotely the most unhinged stage direction in Shakespeare either. It’s hard to top “Enter a servant with two heads and a hand”

I had forgotten how much longer the days are in this part of Idaho. They have almost fifteen hours of daylight right now it takes some getting used to

At this rate I’m wondering what the official rules are if both teams get into a bench-clearing brawl

Happened to me too a few weeks ago - my ID was way in the bottom of my bag so I tried to explain it was non alcoholic but they were not having it and I had to dig it out

It MUST have been on purpose. “Tomorrow” was ringing out of every rehearsal studio in New York in 1978 and he was way too astute to copy the most famous melody in musical theater at the time and not realize it

Ian Gould @iangouldhere.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

My favorite example of this is when “The Worst Pies In London” in Sweeney Todd includes a chunk of “Tomorrow” from Annie bc its saccharine ubiquity in the late 70s drove Sondheim nuts

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

Offfffff course it’s like they’re out to prove that sometimes tragedy also writes itself

Yes when I was teaching undergrads they told me about this. Almost none of them had ever in their lives read an entire book. I’d assign them a Shakespeare play to read and so many of them literally couldn’t parse the words on the page. Not their fault but I was agog

No idea what kind of actor I’d be without him. His plays came along at career turning points, first “Rough Crossing”, my first gig out of grad school, then “R&G Are Dead”, my first official Off-Broadway contract. Loved all his work so much. Farewell, Sir Tom. www.theguardian.com/stage/2025/n...

Tom Stoppard, playwright of dazzling wit and playful erudition, dies aged 88

A theatrical sensation since the 1960s, whose dramas included Arcadia, The Real Thing and Leopoldstadt, Stoppard also had huge success as a screenwriter

One of the men in the room should have asked him if he has no decency. The fact that he went unchallenged is part of the problem

As I do every Halloween, I find myself hoping for the missing footage from “Mark of the Vampire” to be rediscovered as well as, if possible, a full print of “London After Midnight”
