Memories of a simpler time in my life. The sounds of a time of fewer worries and more dreaming. Listening to this again in my early 40s feels…oof.

It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, I’m not getting what I want—I’m not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, “I know you weren’t happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldn’t have gone home if I had felt we weren’t getting it.” And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, “You find it difficult to be happy, don’t you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.” And I said, “Well, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.” He talked to me then about when he was making, I don’t know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, “I didn’t enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.” And then he said, “You know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

Two photos. The first shows a man in a brown suede jacket, brown-white gingham shirt, and olive fatigues. A cream sweater is tied around his waist. The other photo shows him in a blue denim Western shirt with blue jeans made with camp pockets.

There’s nothing more dad than going around the house on a Sunday morning in a bathrobe changing all the clocks and muttering to yourself “I swear I just did this a couple months ago”. #daylightSavings

My favourite film of the year. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beyond measure. An exalting experience. Makes one think of the power in the final lines of Middlemarch: “…that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life…”

Next up in the series “showing my 10yo the films that my dad showed me when I was 10” was THE GREAT ESCAPE. Perfect. What a brilliant ensemble, and a perfectly balanced film. Hilarious+deeply moving. A 3.5hrs long piece of absolute cinema that a kid in 2026 had no trouble sitting through. Hope.

A plethora of Godots (and adaptations!) happening at the moment. Guthrie Theatre + Great Canadian Theatre Company announced today. The play is currently in rehearsals at Stratford, Ontario. And next year I get to revive my production at the Royal MTC in Winnipeg. We live in Beckettian times. Tracks.

I saw The Bride! tonight--wildly audacious and accomplished, and in fascinating dialogue with monster movies, musicals, and Bonnie and Clyde. Jessie Buckley is beyond-belief great. Huge swings like this & Wuthering Heights are why we need studios--it takes real $$ and support of vision to make them.

There won’t be any World Cup at this rate because America will be at war with most of the participants

Maybe working on the little things as dutifully and honestly as we can is how we stay sane when the world is falling apart.

Between Jim Carrey and WW3…I mean.

A&W sells Pret coffee. Get with the program hombre!

Finally sat down to watch this. It’s very tender. Very beautiful.

You guys K-Pop Demon Hunters is so good #dads

Found this rare beaut

Physical media is so back

Major wars and global conflicts are measured retrospectively. It’s very possible that, once we are through the fog of the spectacularly chaotic Trump age, we will likely declare that WW3 started in early 2022 with the invasion of Ukraine and ended with…

God help us.

Hahaha

For all those who didn't watch tonight, allow me to summarize:
