Would it kill somebody to say “Nancy is not stupid.” It pains me to see the WH press corps just accept the abuse. Sends the wrong image to Americans and the world IMHO.

Wow Bob Wow! My stomach feels like it's filled with a team of bumblebees at the thought of introducing Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me at the BFI on Wednesday January 28. It's part of a whole season devoted to the work of my main man David Lynch and I'm beyond honoured to be a part of it.

The author Joan Didion embraced Thanksgiving. And she staged it the same way she conjured her essays, novels, screenplays and memoirs, with an almost military mustering of planning and ambition. nyti.ms/47PYF8i

Is there an academic or critical textbook with great analysis covering Deep Space Nine? It's such a rich show and I feel like there's an enormous amount of thematic ground that could be covered on a multitude of subjects.

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

Just a late night reminder that if you’re getting into the films of Mira Nair, she’s one of the interview subjects of my book CINEMA HER WAY, which is still in stores now and would make a great Christmas gift.
