I saw Hamilton a few weeks ago. This man OWNED the stage. Just took it over as if his entire life’s purpose is to make the audience say, “Damn!”

I saw The Crucible, drawn like a moth to a flame (that flame being Saoirse Ronan). I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I thought Tavi Gevinson did a better job than twice-Oscar-nominated Saoirse Ronan.

“Don’t make excuses. Your friends don’t need them and your enemies won’t believe them.”

Blatant money grab and stunt-casting by the producers. Lin-Manuel Miranda is a flat-out genius, super-human creativity, absolutely deserved the MacArthur grant, Pulitzer prize, Grammy award and others.

I’ve seen Hamilton and loved it, but Lin-Manuel Miranda as an actor...... He stood out as the weakest part of the…

Scotland is twenty kinds of beautiful. This picture is from Glenfinnan. Out of frame to the left is the train viaduct featured in several Harry Potter movies.

He was always just a guy who showed up

Dax Shepard and his thoughts about co-star Kristen Stewart while filming Zathura, from a publicity interview (btw, he was 30 during filming and she was 14-15):
