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.

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.”

FWIW I think the movie (which I love) pretty much gives you what you need along the way. You might be inspired to do some research after you see it, but it's not like one of those things where you need to study the Habsburg family tree before the play starts or you'll miss all the jokes.

Happy to share something positive!

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

If you're a powerful creative person, a moment will always arrive when you can do something a little brave that will help people, or refuse to. The book I'm working on right now is in part a history of who did what. All I'll say about this is, it never gets forgotten. deadline.com/2026/03/pixa...

I have seen those! I laughed to see that one opera company is using "TIMOTHEE" as a discount code.

In any event, he should have an interesting run on the red carpet next weekend!

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMar 7(source)

I honestly don't think it's malice--in the middle, he sort of shakes his head at himself, laughing, and says, "I just take shots for no reason." Okay, but if you KNOW that, don't DO that! Also (bending over backwards to be fair): Spending three months trying to win an award is absurd. For anyone.

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.

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...

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.

This kind of implication that Mainers are too simple to see through a con is exactly the kind of condescension that makes so.much of America hate the ever loving shit out of liberals. There's a primary. Let the people of Maine choose their representation. They don't owe you shit.

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.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialMar 6(source)

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. >
