but I thought it took away from the resonance of it being Hollenback’s last scene. I admit this might be the storyteller purist in me.

I’m glad Good Night and Good Luck was live tonight on CNN, ifanything to prove to the rest of the world that we know where we are and what’s at stake— again. Clooney nearly breaking at the “everyone flying off to Europe” line was good… 🧵

Nuh uh! Hey — you want some pop rocks?

I live in the US state of mourning.

Send good thoughts to Merlin, please. We just got a cancer diagnosis. 😞

Gold. 😂

One of my all time favorites. That and Midnight Run.

I’m begging you, Hollywood. The only way to get me through this dystopian nightmare is a Walton Goggins/Sam Rockwell buddy flick. Have them remake The In-Laws.

Finished “Douglas is Cancelled” on Britbox and it’s the absolute real deal. Stick with it till the end.

Nope. You have this wrong. And btw, your “imaginary Baileys” - they vote Republican.

Turns out Severance is the perfect subtle, full body Pinot Noir to elevate the stale cheese plate of your country being taken over by a corporate kleptocracy.

Daughter is in college but this still looks fun. :)

Flu A is running rampant through my house. It’s been a week for me and I’m starting to come out of it, but it’s hit my daughter now too. Poor thing. Send riveting documentaries we can stream.
