I'm glad I clicked that press photos link, because otherwise I wouldn't have found out that John Malkovich is playing Blackbeard in "Crossbones", coming this fall to NBC.

Both great pieces, but not by the same author, FYI. The lhote piece does link to the slate article though.

It juxtaposes the hedonism, debauchery and misogny of spring break and bro culture with a gay wedding. I think the point is that people who are offended by the latter, but not the former, have some fucked-up morals.

I think that “The Top 3 Things We Can’t Talk About At All, For A Number Of Reasons That Have Been Made Clear To Us, Repeatedly" was a Boston joke without *really* being a Boston joke.
