What current comedy do you laugh at the most? Genuine question, and I'm not asking what you think the best one is, just the one that sparks the most laughs from you (if you're a laugher).
Yes, I've seen The Bear. My sides still hurt!
Just caught up with the series finale of The Comeback. That might be this year's comedy Emmy.
YouTube dropping its big ugly influencer-ass-looking black spaceship of a tent directly on top of the Lincoln Center fountain is as vivid a representation of old culture versus new as you will see this year.
(Bonus touch: YouTube has also blacked out the doors and windows of Geffen Hall with ads.)
I just don't have the patience anymore to do the extra post at the end of every thread where I explain that I know that the bad things people do and say are bad and that I disapprove of them. If you follow me, I believe you already know that and don't need to hear it.
A lot of young gay people don't get the degree to which cruelty was not just aimed at gay men, but was the language gay men spoke to each other. I don't mean "The library is open!", I mean demolishing viciousness. So I don't excuse the worst of Reed's work. But I do consider the world that made him.
Working on the book I've been researching and writing over the last five years has made me think a lot about what it must have been like to be a gay man born in 1938, and thus a criminal, essentially. The armor you needed, the vulnerability you had to hide, and what that effort cost. >
If you want to read something Reed wrote when he had the juice, here's a 1966 story he reported when he visited the shoot of Otto Preminger's Hurry Sundown in Louisiana. I came across it 20 years ago and have never forgotten it. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/1966/08/21/a...
He loved the spotlight; he loved being on TV; and too young, he allowed alcohol (and maybe the closet) to curdle his talent and turned bitchiness and misanthropy into his brand. As a critic, he was sometimes funny, more often offensive and inattentive. But I'll always love that early good work. RIP.
Rex Reed was a fascinating man. In the late 1960s, he became the first entertainment journalist (for the NY Herald Tribune and the NYT) to be allowed to write in a recognizably queer voice for mainstream publications. The best of his on-set reports from back then are among the best ever written. >
Man, a lot of people here really get off on being ankle weights.
This is dead on. If the Democrats retake the House and Senate--or even just the House--it could mark the beginning of the end of a 50-year Republican project. If they can't? The GOP will spend the next 2 years destroying all remaining guardrails. Most important midterms of our lives, no question.
Totally true. I devoured this show (I say with a measure of shame) and I doubt I ever would have noticed it if it hadn't been on a service I watch regularly.
No, you're throwing a tantrum by accusing me of things I didn't say. And now, you're saying the exact same thing I started with, which is that he is far from an ideal choice but the alternative is worse. Also, Ben, I'm a Jew, if that's how we're playing this.
I haven't said anything about "everyone" or "the absolute truth," so stop your tantrum. People here are being grabbed off the street and put in camps. Maybe stop shouting that he has a tattoo--which absolutely nobody is defending!--and consider what is happening in this country.
You can hope they die in a cell all you want, but that means less than nothing if you vote in a way that helps to keep them in power.
Yeah, I'm willing to go very far to make sure that a party full of ACTUAL antisemites and open Nazi sympathizers doesn't continue to hold power. So I very much hope he wins, and if you care about the scourge of antisemitism in the U.S., you should too.
It was a very "Am I hallucinating?" moment!
