I agree with this terrible take because all of the rote memorization I did over the decades of choir music means I can basically sing the entirety of MESSIAH from memory

Deleted because I messed up the quote! It should be: ""Mr. Mask, you are confused" is going on t-shirts imminently

Genuinely think it's impossible even if it is the most female gaze-centric approach you can imagine

Thoughts after watching PRIMETIME: 1) Merritt Wever is unbelievably good in a role that was otherwise underwritten 2) Very clearly indebted to ZODIAC 3) They should never, ever, ever make another film of LOLITA, but since I kept thinking Robert Pattinson (amazing) had Jeremy Irons vibes, well...

Siskel & Ebert - Black Widow (1987)

I didn't link to it in the piece but the Siskel & Ebert segment on BLACK WIDOW still cracks me up www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGIL...

‘Furious’ Is an Angry Show for the World of Epstein and Trump

I wrote about FURIOUS (which I loved), and what it says about the times we're living in even as it takes its narrative template squarely from late 80s/early 90s films we almost never see anymore, for @foreignpolicy.com.

Slightly irritating that the cuts in the recording did not match the cuts for our concert, but at least I found decent recordings of what wasn't included

spent the evening with my score of Judas Maccabeus and a favorite recording and basically sang the soprano choral part from start to finish It may not be everyone's way of learning an oratorio, but apparently, this is mine

It's the same deal as all of the people who would come up to Budd Schulberg and tell him they thought Sammy Glick was wonderful and wanted to be like him, and he was duly horrified

It's so delicious though (how do you spice them? I live and die by turmeric, paprika, and a pinch of cayenne pepper)

Also, the case I reference at the end, which was already plenty horrible at the time the piece was finalized, continues to grow more awful. No wonder a television show is the only way to get temporary catharsis from the relentless horror.

count me in for this, more baseball in 2027 is a good resolution

This good to know (and congrats!) But it looks like it's UK published only, so distribution into the US may be an issue...

Thinking about crime fiction reissued this year and while I've read a bunch, there's plenty more I might have missed -- which ones are your favorites?

Though it would be grimly fitting if it turned out someone programmed a chatbot to mimic Bernardini's tactics

Read this to the rhythm of supercalifragialisticexpialidocious (Even though this article is something quite atrocious)
