Marion Cotillard scares the bejesus out of me. There is something menacing and just a little crazy going on behind those blue eyes. Beautiful and talented, yes, but I would always check under the bed and I’m not sure I’d turn my back on her either...

I saw it a couple days ago. there are parts I agree and don’t agree with in this review (I think the film is stunning to look at) - but one thing is for sure - it is anxiety inducing. so much anxiety my goodness. and I think in a way, that is what is most authentic about the piece when it comes to shakespeare. it was…

This is a very responsible review, thank you Madeleine. I think for me the film was difficult to watch because I was laid bare by Fassbender’s Macbeth and how the character portrayal aligns so discomfitingly with (alleged, yes, alleged I know) rumours of his real life. But it was beautiful, if bleak.

I’m 25% sad—Her voice on All Things Considered softens even the hardest news to hear.

Michele Norris is really, really smart. Not much in the media landscape gets my attention, but a few years ago I started noticing her interview skills were very well honed and she brooked no shit. I’m going to miss her, bigtime. I’d never heard of the Race Card Project, but I’ll be watching for it now.

Aww, good luck MEE-chelle Norris!

I read this and immediately shrieked “What??? Nooooo” out loud and now my coworker is looking at me with concern like someone died.

but seriously, the english lit major / shakespeare nerd in me is seriously internally screaming and counting days til this comes out

I feel like one has to be in a very good place of mind to be able to handle Winterson, in general. I absolutely love her, but some of her work can just absolutely destroy me.

I had the honor of being a guest on her show a few years ago. I was struck by how prepared she was for the interview, and when we were done how she seamlessly transitioned to another segment and was equally prepared and knowledgable on a totally different topic. A real throwback and a radio legend.

She interviewed Mr. Rogers once, and after his intro, it went like this:

I’m so upset about this. I love Diane and feel like she’s helped me develop a much more nuanced view of the world than I would have otherwise. And what will I do without the Friday News Roundup?

It’s purely sexist and not in their best interest. This is Fifa’s fault though too. There are so many ways in which they could generate more revenue from the women but they are dumb. Seriously.

Great argument. No one ever change anything because life is unfair, guys! ACCEPT EVERYTHING AS IT IS GIVEN.

Exactly. When was the last time the USMNT played on field turf. I can’t think of one.

Thanks for covering this. Insane that it took losing one of their best players to an ACL tear to deal with domestic playing surfaces, especially after all the crap FIFA put them through playing the WWC on turf.

Field turf is trash and not a professional playing surface. Women, US and around the world, deserve better.

Hey all- remember to flag/dismiss trolls instead of engaging.
