jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I asked AI a question and it gave me the wrong answer. I made it more obvious and it gave me the right answer, but made a lame excuse for why it had made the mistake in the first place. Maybe it's more human than I thought. 140
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Let's not forget that the original title of the Beatles HELP was EIGHT ARMS TO HOLD YOU. 010
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 08/10/2026And an inspiration to so many who followed. 040
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yes! Yes! Yes! (You could buy my books if you wanted.) 030
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The man who made "now we'll never know" a common catchphrase (at least in our family.) 020
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 06/10/2026We should all immediately reread "The Last Words of Dutch Schultz." 030
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I interviewed him once. Oof. He was the worst Macbeth I ever saw and the audience actually applauded when his head was displayed on a pike. 270
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Now I know it. Things will never be the same. 020
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Happy Buster Keaton's birthday to all who celebrate. 050
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It's my second favorite noir. Not sure I'm closely following the actors' history with it. But interesting for sure. 031
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 30/09/2026What a sad state of affairs. I haven’t gotten to it yet. But I admire that you post it when it stinks rather than when you ace it. 030
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Can you imagine what Eric Schmitt did to the staffer who came up with that deliciously idiotic excuse for a gotcha? That person's gonna be looking for work, I imagine. 060
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Leave us never forget Roman Hruska, although he's long gone now. 110
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Well, I wouldn't know about that, but it's better than Never Live Over a Pretzel Factory. 010
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I'd be there for all of it. I wonder if it's any good. 100
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Luckily that's the only thing that's broken. Oh, wait... 000
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 27/09/20262/2 Of course Albatross had Robert Preston, who was a bigger star than Bert Lahr in the early mid-60s. 110
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 27/09/20261/2 All good points, but I still think it was the strike, more than anything that killed it. It was a contemporary satire; many of its targets have long since disappeared so it is unrevivable today. But 83 performance next to Nobody Loves an Albatross's (also unrevivable) 212 seems extreme to me. 120
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Is this the "Hey There" scene in The Pajama Game? 020
Reposted by @jackviertel.bsky.socialTroy Jackson @troyjackson207.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Money has bought too many politicians, and everyday people don’t have enough money to buy them back. When I’m in the U.S. Senate, I’ll piss off Big Pharma every day of the week and twice on Sunday. 1125377
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 26/09/202642 new messages since late this afternoon, 41 of them asking for money from candidates and one begging me to come to a mediocre steakhouse. Is the election soon? 030
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Indeed it was, but is there evidence that helped close the show? Did he miss performances? 110
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 25/09/2026This is the strike that killed The Beauty Part, not to mention Tiger, Tiger Burning Bright, which wasn't bad for its time, as I remember. 150
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Deadly is the female, as they used to say in B pictures. 000
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It doesn't matter. I won't be there. But for those of you who celebrate, by all means have a great time. 010
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 22/09/2026God help us. Is it longer than the original version? The hours I can never get back... 110
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Also I'm charmed that within that number that Dietz wrote, "MGM has got a Leo, but mama has got a trio," given that he invented Leo the Lion. He must have had a good long pull on his cigar at the moment when he wrote those words. 060
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I hope you have a wonderful time. It's always been a bit disappointing to me. 130
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Wait. We're defending Pat Boone? Ain't That a Shame? 011
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Let's not forget Ruth Moore. First name first in this post. 060
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Just spent a half hour deleting fundraising requests from Democratic candidates. I'm a lifelong Democrat and I give. But if they think this is an effective way to make me anything but furious, they have another think coming. Is this kind of hectoring successful? Maybe for some, not for me. 380
jackviertel.bsky.social @jackviertel.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Arguably the musical that caused Brooks Atkinson to call it a day. 010
