Yeah, it was worth reading the whole thing- the scene was so surreal, like an SNL skit on acid, I’m glad Nuzzi transcribed it all. I don’t get the complaint that it was “too long” at all, it’s worth transcribing all the nuttiness for posterity. And frankly it’s odd for a professional journalist to complain about…

It’s a gesture of defiance that I notice he does when he’s getting a question that’s even mildly challenging, or when he knows one is coming. He did it yesterday while being asked about the disappeared Saudi-American journalist, as he lied saying it was deeply being looked into. Lying, guilt and defiance when he…

The only bad thing I can see with the new place is the current 75f temperature, but I’m sure they will fix that pronto. Ideally you’d want the room chilly enough to need a jacket, I suppose. 75 would be too warm for me in my house, much less a room full of fish. They’ll work it out.  And yeah, boo-hoo for the poor…

Look at the armchair warrior Sol sitting on his fat ass in Canada telling we liberals in the US to take to the streets with pitchforks.  Really, why are we such pussies?  

Thanks for this. Because I’m frankly tired of our “friends” from Canada and the UK telling us for two years, “Holy shit you guys, do you realize that you’re a humiliated laughing stock in the world, and we’re all pointing and laughing at you?” As if we’re too stupid to know this, as if there’s no Resistance, as if…

I saw Liam Neeson play Wilde on Broadway, he was pretty great too.  (The Judas Kiss).   

There was a TV movie in 1979 or so about The Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, they were national sex symbols at the time and the tone of the drama was leering. It starred Lauren Tewes, who was Julie Your Cruise Director from The Love Boat, and it was something to see her persuaded into baring her nay-nays.  That sort of…

“In the Trump era, fundamental American values – a government of, by and for the people; a republic with liberty and justice for all – have been redefined as radical demands. As I wrote in this newspaper in March, 2017, “What is now called resisting is often Americans simply helping others: a concept so alien to the…

Yeah, it was on TCM, I left it on in the background because I’ve seen it, and I think it’s quite a good film, very much of its era. But man, some of those show numbers go on forever.

Oof. He’s a really fine actor who did some great films, but, and this just me and mho, I can’t stand James Mason’s voice. To me it’s like he’s speaking from somewhere behind his tonsils and halfway up to the nasal cavity. Glottal and throaty and just so affected, I find him hard to listen to.

I don’t stan her either, and her performing on SNL with “Do What You Want With My Body” is pretty loathsome. She really didn’t have to do that, R Kelly’s reputation and stories about him were already quite out there. Gaga didn’t care at all. Maybe she thought it would make her edgy, but all it came out as was quite…

Oh, I actually did think of Wally Wood, poor guy. And Jack Cole, the brilliant artist behind Plastic Man, who shot his head off in 1958. Horrible. The very great book designer and retro comics booster Chip Kidd published a book about Cole and Plastic Man comics of the 40s.. and Kidd has this powerful visual style,…

Hello Cura, yes that’s me at the G. Hopefully behaving, but after half a bottle of vino, who knows? Whoo! They’re just as sozzled. But I am sounding like a common Kavanaugh. I LIKE BEER. And WINE, and SCOTCH, and sometimes GIN or TEQUILA MOTHERFUCKER.

You know, one thing I like about Lady Gaga- aside from her being tremendously talented- is how she flips through many personas, and it depends upon whom she’s speaking to. She’s really consciously and self-directedly malleable in how she comes across. This is not a criticism, she is brilliant with the press. She…

Caption: “Oh dear girl, you could have clicked the ruby slippers together and gone home to Kansas anytime.” “Well, you could have fucking told me.”

Hey thanks, i’m not sure of the authors’ names, but I appreciate your link.  

Hey, thank you. I really do like to re-visit this article once in a while. The truest article ever written about the Wizard of Oz film!

Oh wow, I see, and that sucks. It was a good article. And ps to the people who pointed me to the cache of it, thanks.

Huh, you’d think an innocent man would stay and say, “What are you talking about? No, I never.” You know what a guilty man who knows it would do? Take off his mic and walk off like that.

Edit to add: I’d like to think that comics artists and cartoonists live so long because they really love what they do.
