We could all have a pretty great Tribute to Screenwriters Who Just Died triple-feature weekend and watch Bullitt, The Thomas Crown Affair, and The Candidate. Nobody would regret a minute of it.
RIP Alan Trustman and Jeremy Larner.

hi
here’s my op ed - ☮️
www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/o...
I'm sorry, it makes me laugh when people argue that nobody who doesn't live in a state can talk about elections in that state. Let me tell you about who felt qualified to weigh in on a recent mayoral election where I live...
The night is young!
Me: God this was a hard week. I need to unwind with some stress-free TV.

First of all, my post was about loudmouth Platner defenders, not Mainers. Second--and I'm gonna say it once and hope it sticks: Every voter has the right to weigh in on every Senate race. None of this "Stay out of it unless you live here" bullshit. The composition of the Senate affects all of us.
I'm used to Republicans doing this. Remember Sarah Palin, gun-totin' you-betcha no-nonsense Alaska mama bear? Who turned out to be nothing more than an empty vessel of marblemouthed ambition and Bravo-level family dysfunction? It. Does. Not. Work. For them or for us.
One thing I hate about all the defenses of Platner is the underlying, deeply dumb and destructive belief that it's all about casting. Wanted: Rugged bearded tell-it-like-it-is oysterman to appeal to the great anxious white center, the holy grail of politics. Further details not of immense concern. >
I think Madigan has a lot going for her w voters to compensate for the sole-nomination problem. But to answer your other question, if it's Mosaku v. Taylor, then my guess is, it's Mosaku, since I think Taylor suffers a little in voters' memories bc she exits the film early. I could be totally wrong!
What a bizarre, baseless position (his, not yours).
Oh, I see. What we're after is IMAGINARY unconditional surrender. This all seems very well thought through.
This race began as "Which 3 actors are going to be given seats at the Timmy-vs.-Leo show?" It is ending as something very different. If I had to bet right now, I'd pick Jordan, who peaked at the right moment almost to the day, but none of the other four would shock me; they all have constituencies.
This is a fun thread, and I agree with this Best Actor take: There are plausible paths for all five nominees, which just never happens. I hope whoever wins looks surprised, because they should BE surprised.
A good rule is that if you are ever tempted to follow a statement with "Sorry, I'm just being real," you should have just kept your mouth shut.
Trump couldn't care less about Americans. To him, we are and always have been no-names, extras, the cost of doing business. He won't lose a minute of sleep over an American life, or over a thousand of them.
Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
I don't think he's a Nazi, but he does strike me as an ideological tourist, which is a little scary. And I don't think it's useful to caricature those who are saying, "What are we doing here?" as pearl-clutchers or dolts who live in a bubble. Everyone in this discussion wants a winning candidate.
I think what people are sure of is that the need for constant, annoyed, laborious explanations that someone is NOT a Nazi--they just like the skin decorations and the podcasts--suggests that Maine is about to pick a Democratic Senate candidate with a troubling instinct for blundering and credulity.
Every word of this is worth reading. These people are our national disease, and it's only going to get worse. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...
