i probably have not seen 100 tv shows in my lifetime, but i have seen more than 100 tv episodes of Agatha Christie adaptations

I’m sure there’s some academic, theoretically edifying read on Charli’s flagrant disinterest in traditional rhyme/lyric schemes and formations, but i confess that seeming elision of legible cadence does not really do for anything for me

not really a Simon Stone guy, but THE CHERRY ORCHARD was splendid, feeling unforced in its updates in the modern Seoul setting and gentle and recognizable in both its Chekhovian archetypes and how easily they are translatable to contemporary dysfunctional life

it's #NYFF time! doing some stuff for @slantmagazine.com ! first up, was left pretty cold by Ira Sachs' THE MAN I LOVE; the creative world is interesting, but it's sunk by Rami Malek's twitchy, clenched-jawed performance: www.slantmagazine.com/film/the-man...

'The Man I Love' Review: An Icy Portrait of an Actor Dying of AIDS

Rami Malek's turn feels like a bag of tics, as if he were playing an idea of gayness, lending many scenes a frustrating artificiality.

A more accurate movie about Fire Island would be one where the housemates are all trying to leave for a party but it takes hours, days, weeks, months, and they never leave, à la Buñuel. Say, THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOIS QUEENS

kudos to macklemore here for —right off the bat— the perspective and acknowledgment of who the real victims are

I'm not sure how to start this. So I'm going to speak from the heart and share the truth. Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from The Loop tour.

But before I get into it, I want to say something that should be obvious. In this moment I think it matters. I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families.

The victims are the Palestinian people. The men, women and children who have been killed, starved, displaced and forced to live through unimaginable violence. More than 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza alone. People are being killed today, and people will be killed tomorrow. I want to make sure that as I tell this story, we don't lose sight of that.

hate when you get rejected from a job role and the employer is like "if you ever see another role you might be interested in, please reach out". okay, i was qualified for the one i applied to and that you rejected me from. i'm not gonna apply to be an accountant or some shit.

Biggest problem with modern Looney Tunes, even COYOTE VS ACME (which I like) is that Bugs Bunny has been sanded down into a mascot. You watch him in the 40s or 50s and he's a freaky lil dress-up pervert who is down for anything. Assigned diva at birth. Nowadays, he's just a regular guy. Not my Bugs.

On odd comma use: Many prose writers punctuate by sound and rhythm, not grammar. Then a copyeditor comes in and edits you toward "correctness." The compromise is your published style. (Generally, I've tried to learn to give in to my wise copyeditors. No one hears the prose the way you do anyway.)

been trying to find a computer game i played as a kid for years, but have found nothing online. non linear, point and click, dream circus, maybe by a Czech artist, Brian Andreas/Picasso style 2D surrealist art. there's a big smiling cat and balls you drag around that make a tinkling noise.
