Fourteen years ago I had my first "viral" story - and it was just what I thought was a throwaway anecdote about Christopher Nolan not having a cell phone or email. I still bring it up to this day. www.backstage.com/magazine/art...

Christopher Nolan Embraces Film Tech But Doesn't Own a Cell Phone
Director Christopher Nolan employs high-tech equipment like IMAX cameras to film "The Dark Knight Rises," yet doesn't have a personal cell phone or email.

Disappointed I can’t be a contrarian but THE ODYSSEY kind of blew me away. Turns out there’s a reason that story’s been around thousands of years. Stellar across the board, great cast, Robert Pattinson at his sniveling best. And the horse at Universal Citiwalk looks pretty at night.

Sam Neill had so many amazing roles but I just love that he was so perfectly cast as Anthony Hopkins as Odin in the THOR films. You need a legend to play a legend.

It really is a miracle that HACKS was SO good for its entire run - it constantly subverted my expectations and every season they had a moment where my jaw dropped and another where I burst into tears. Sometimes they were the same moment. I'm so sad to see it go but what a legacy.

For this week's SAG-AFTRA Foundation convo with STRANGER THINGS 5, I wore the same dress from my first Q&A in 2017. When David Harbour tried to say he can’t fight like he used to, I pointed out, “You’re an Avenger!” To which he responded, “Yeah, the fattest Avenger!”

Haven't seen Prada 2 yet, but this is a convo I've had with a few friends about the meh reviews. Me: Is it that the premise is less funny in an era where we’re more aware of abusive bosses? Are we not as ready to laugh at a toxic work environment. Friends: No. It’s just bad.

Lame claim to "fame" - in 2012 I broke the news about Christopher Nolan not using a cell phone or email which I had no idea would be A Thing. But I had forgotten about his reaction when I tried to explain talk-to-text and Siri. "What's the point of that?" www.backstage.com/magazine/art...
