I have never seen the charm of baseball until I saw Shohei Ohtani hit two homers at Dodger Stadium last year. A thing

Raced to see THE BRUTALIST and admired the cinematography and high level of visual allusions, which I always love. I also admire a good ending but agree with Richard Brody that this ending is made to do entirely too much of what the film leaves undone. #RichardBrody #TheNewYorker #TheBrutalist

A very nice feeling to have seen Cromer's Our Town, WITH bacon, at the Barrow Street Theater, a much lamented loss for the off Broadway scene. Also warm memories of the LCT South Pacific being celebrated this week. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/11/d... #NewYork #theater #LincolnCenter
In ‘Our Town,’ the Characters Are Fictional. The Smells Are Real.
