I spent tonight watching To Live and Die in L.A., the Michael Manniest movie that he never directed. Every moment in it is a weird performative demonstration of some kind of 1985-neo-noir definition of "masculinity." William Petersen is, as Pauline Kael wrote of Bob Hoskins, a testicle on legs.
I think that the only good effect of today's SCOTUS decision will be to move transformational court reform from something we On Here and a few politicians shout about to the heart of the Democratic platform in '28. At least I hope so.
[Happy to talk, but nihilism gets blocked. Not up for it today.]
Write the best outline you can, then love your characters enough to let them screw it up.
Do we get to say who?
This thing is going all around my timeline that says writers should only be allowed three exclamation marks per lifetime, and if "lifetime" is some new slang term for "email," then yes, I agree, with exceptions.
...and for a true NYC all-star cast that included Michael Cyril Creighton, Billy Eichner, David Greenspan, Jeff Hiller, Cory Michael Smith, Ben Stiller, Ali Stroker, David Turner, and Michael Urie. The Normal Heart is a great American play, of its time and ahead of it. Bravo to all.
For NYC theater folks: It's no secret that Tony and Larry Kramer had a somewhat volatile relationship over the years, so I was really touched that Tony decided to direct a 40th(-ish) anniversary benefit reading of The Normal Heart at the Public last night. A true labor of love for him... .>
And by the way, if by a convergence of miracles Trump is not only impeached but removed, as the old meme says, YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. I'm touched by the faith that this will remind voters what Democrats stand for but I believe there will be many effective, NON-symbolic ways to do that.
How is it a win when the final headline is "Impeachment Fails in Senate"? "At least we tried, guys" is not nearly as important as the many concrete things that a Democratic House &/or Senate can actually accomplish.
There is a lot that a Democratic House can do to prevent harm, to do actual good, and to at least attempt to hold people publicly accountable. With a Democratic Senate, even more. Focusing on an action that would amount to a 3-day news cycle ending in a GOP win is the "It's Mueller time!" of 2026.
I don't know why so many of you are on about "But Jeffries doesn't support prioritizing impeachment!" What if he did? Game that one out for me in terms of its actual, non-symbolic effect.
This is remarkable in its "Nope, we're not doing this again" lighthearted dismissiveness. Between this and Hakeem Jeffries's statement that Karoline Leavitt can "get lost," today felt like a pivot to a flat refusal to cede even a single day of the news cycle to Trump's manifest bullshit.
He fell on his face as he was being pulled out of the banquet room after a gunman who was on a completely different floor had already been taken down.
Not quite yet!
Always a good feeling when your early call turns out to be right. "The name may still be unfamiliar to the general public, but..."
--From a February 1979 NYT profile of Meryl Streep
No powerful person in my lifetime has degraded American discourse and vilified, dehumanized and demonized those who disagree with him more than Donald Trump. He and his sycophants are blaming the left for the world they themselves built, and their complaints should not be given a moment's credence.
