Seeing a production of "Nickelby" is a dream of mine, though I don't know if it's ever done these days. And I need to make a Punch Drunk show happen some time.

My boyfriend is far too weirded out for Kate Bush for me ever to get laid while listening to her, so I'm quite jealous.

I'm pretty knowledgeable about theatre, but Aphra Behn is a gaping hole in my reading/seeing. I really need to get on that.

I was lucky enough to see Rylance in both "Boeing Boeing" and "Jerusalem". He is astonishing. The only way I can think to describe it is that most actors are chemists—you can see what they're doing and the effect it has—while Rylance is an alchemist—he does something you don't understand and the reaction is something

Erm, tiger. The play's about a tiger.

I was pissed to miss that when it was in Chicago—it looks like a hell of a show.

But nobody noticed the super-serious "white titles on a black screen while you hear heavy breathing" credit sequence? The game they were playing at a party? The fact that the school play appears to be a one-woman version of "Gone With the Wind" that's rewritten continually? The time that one of Michael J. Fox's

I saw "Teen Wolf" for the first time a few months ago. I was expecting a silly, forgettable 80s teen comedy, but it is in fact a deeply weird film—downright Lynchian at points. It's so much more interesting than it has any right to be, but I can't imagine how something so fucked-up ever became a mainstream hit.

I saw it for the first time a few months ago, and was pretty impressed, if only with the fact that such a bizarre film was made by a major studio. I think it's at its best when it has the courage of its convictions as a lunatic black comedy. When going for straightforward thriller it's kind of limp. However, the score

Sadly it's no longer up. Which is a shame: the week that had this, the new Rufus Wainwright, AND the new Santigold was pretty tremendous.

I love Roth (I've been devastated by "Goodbye, Columbus", "Portnoy's Complaint", "American Pastoral", and many others of his novels), but I found "Sabbath's Theater" unbelievably repellent. The prose was good, but spending that much time with a character as revolting as Mickey Sabbath was an ordeal. What am I missing?

Good evening, America, I'm Chloe Sevigny. It's recently come to my attention that I'll be playing a nymphomaniac.

Oh you have just made me so very happy.

I thought I was the only one! Neurosis buddies!

That's a damn shame. As a hella gay person, I'm weirded out by shaved body hair. There goes another reason to watch MMA.
