Happy holidays and congrats! *hug*

They let you have access to the AV Club in prison, Ethan?

*facepalm*

The last Passover seder (an interfaith one) that I attended had a lovely kosher wine that I only took a sip of (since I was driving) … California, from either Napa or Sonoma, and not especially different from any other California wine.

Ice wine tends to come from places where the grapes freeze partway through the fermentation process, so they stay sugary rather than turning into alcohol. That's the theory, anyway.

A shame it's not better, but I feel compelled, based on subject matter and cast, to see it anyway.

Thank you kindly, Les. Much appreciated.

Which Soma-FM channel can I find a representative sample of it?

Errol Flynn versus Orson Welles? Oh boy! I'll be in my bunk!

A.O. Scott loved it, and specifically called out (in a good way) its visual translation from stage to film.

This. Exactly. Amen.

Randall, not to be too persnickety, but Google tells me that "bacon-wrapped avocado fries" are actually more Paleo than Asian. At least, I haven't seen bacon-avocado fries in a Quickly yet, but I'm sure it's coming along any day now.
