This pair needs to be cast in a remake of Hitchcock’s ROPE.

@jhpcine I published her memoir, and she was a delight to work with - not to mention an excellent writer.

@BCDreyer Does all the Borodin theft in Kismet count? Or other classical borrowings, like “My Reverie”?

[Rick Kot @rpkot]

@BCDreyer Also, Terminator hunk Michael Biehn almost unrecognizable as The Fan's flabby psycho only three years earlier.

@BCDreyer Invented Broadway show titles in movies are always a guilty pleasure (Imitation of Life's are all classics), and Bacall starring in It's Called Tomorrow is pretty swell.

@vanbadham @RadioFreeTom The quickest way to find a typo in your own book is to lift one reverently from the first box of author copies, savour the realisation of a dream, and open to a random page.

@elizmccracken Congrats!

@Eric_Alterman The Sammy story is remarkable for so many reasons - and I figure you've probably read the Tosches on Martin.

Shocking stat: 57 senators who voted to convict Trump represent 76.7 MILLION more Americans than 43 senators who voted to acquit

@TheWagnerian Janáček - all the operas from Jenůfa on, piano music, chamber music (especially the string quartets), Glagolitic Mass. Britten - Grimes and Billy Budd.

@BCDreyer All those those tense close-ups between Hedren and both Tandy and Pleshette - and the framing of the shot with Pleshette listening to Hedren on the call with Rod Taylor.

@Eric_Alterman I and a colleague had a meeting with Bolton (Michael) when he was shopping his memoir. At one point he sang a few notes of a soul riff that was so loud that we thought the ceiling of the conference room would collapse.

I am thrilled to share the news that I’m writing a book on Georgia’s epic 2020 (and 2021) elections, chronicling the personalities and policies that paved the way to the November flip - and today’s swearing-in of Warnock and Ossoff to the US Senate. #gapol
