BREAKING: Biden has finished several weeks of radiation therapy treatment Monday at Penn Medicine Radiation Oncology in Philadelphia. A very positive sign for the former president and amazing human being.

It's probably a throwaway character like Jacinda.

As much as I love Diane Keaton in "Something's Gotta Give," I've always wondered how her character became such a successful playwright considering what we do see from one of her plays is pretty bad and not funny. And yet she's supposed to be hugely successful. Cough #RIPDianeKeaton

Fifteen years ago today, my father and best friend Hirsch Dorbian passed away. He was the last of a vanishing breed-- a true gentleman. In addition to his family, compassion, goodness and decency remain his strongest legacy. You are sorely missed, Dad. #RIPHirschDorbian

One of her best performances but not an easy movie to watch. Based on a true story.

Bobbie and Stefan!! I loved them. Had so much chemistry and that pairing could have created story for years. No. Cut off by the knees for Patch and Kayla, the GH years. A shame.

Just saw "One Battle After Another." Overall, it's very good and excellently paced. My only quibble is Sean Penn's character, a one-dimensional, repellent cartoon. This isn't my favorite of Paul Thomas Anderson's movies. It is VERY overrated but riveting and action-packed. #OneBattleAfterAnother
