I’m sure the chef has planned an unforgettable evening.

Baz Luhrmann is fantastic, and subtlety is for cowards! Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge, and Elvis are all fabulous, and Moulin Rouge may well be the best of the bunch.

The Fountain and Noah. I absolutely love Aronofsky when he’s in earnest grand statement mode, but apparently nobody else does.

I used to have this up in my bathroom!

Sure, but the mad scientist she was living with knew her true appearance and loved her anyway.

It happened in one of the very first Star Trek episodes.

Nobody other than Ted Cruz could ever be deluded enough to think Ted Cruz might have any path to the White House, whether it’s via podcast or otherwise.

Jaymes Samuel would be a fun pick. He’s already made a great Black biblical epic (The Book of Clarence) and a western (The Harder They Fall); he’d probably make a terrific silly pirate movie. At a minimum, the soundtrack and cinematography would be pheonmenal.

Sounds like Grok has been trained on old King Missile lyrics. “Elon could turn wheat into marijuana, and sugar into cocaine. He could’ve played guitar better than Hendrix, he could’ve danced better than Barishnikov, he could’ve scored more goals than Wayne Gretsky. Elon was way cool.”

There are *so many* great podcasts, but these aren’t them. Where’s A History of Rock Music in 500 songs, or Pale Blue Pod, or Tides of History, or The Movies That Made Me or…

He’s like the Republicans’ own Anthony Wiener.

Oooh, he’s one of the guys the online Giants fans were mad that the team didn’t draft instead of Buster Posey!

“I don’t want to sound not antisemitic, but…” Yeesh.

Slinging antisemitic claims is gross and helps nothing. AIPAC played no role in this. These are the amounts received from AIPAC by some who OPPOSED the deal:

Schumer: $1.7 mil
Wyden: $1.2 mil
Schiff: $1.2 mil
Gillibrand: $999k
Warnock: $922k
Booker: $871k

Do with this what you will
