I devoured a bag of Smartfood Chocolate Caramel, the brand’s latest seasonal flavor. www.theomnicosm.com/smartfood-ca...
Review: Smartfood Caramel Chocolate popcorn brings two fantastic flavors together for the holidays
The bag says I ‘should give the gift of poppin’ good flavor,’ but I’d rather keep this for myself.

Over on Deep SNL Thoughts, I made the pitch that it’s way past time for Tim Robinson and Marc Maron to finally host SNL. www.theomnicosm.com/its-time-for...
It’s time for Tim Robinson and Marc Maron to host ‘SNL’
One guy only got a single season on the show. The other never made it past the interview. Their recent success should give them another shot.

Trump has wanted to go ever-bigger with his planned White House ballroom.

One person who disagrees: Trump’s handpicked architect

James McCrery is worried about the size of Trump’s addition overshadowing the main White House mansion, per people we’ve spoken to.

Trump wants a bigger White House ballroom. His architect disagrees.
The president and James McCrery had argued in recent weeks over the project’s size, with Trump pushing him to expand the ballroom.

Also, Thanksgiving version of “Wasn’t Me.” C’mon.
“It’s the Jennie-O float featuring Shaggy and Rayvon” is a Mad Libs sentence if I’ve ever heard one.

Hilarious that the animated Spidey and His Amazing Friends theme is the go-to music for the Spider-Man float.

I don’t understand why it’s technologically impossible to put the name of who’s performing on the screen during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

I’m honestly surprised Arrival wasn’t the end of this conversation.
Hamnet features a stunning use of a now-familiar piece of music in its heart-aching climax, but it also signals a tipping point. Hollywood, you can now no longer use Max Richter's On the Nature of Daylight in movies or TV.

I wrote about it for @avclub.com!

It's time to give "On The Nature Of Daylight" a rest
"On The Nature Of Daylight" is becoming a cheap needledrop, and Hamnet's finale might be the last time a filmmaker can get away with it.
