let me tell you right now, if it’s going to upset you when I rejoice after the man’s death, whenever that may be, unfollow me now.

Richard Simmons and Dr. Ruth were unapologetically themselves despite endless scrutiny. They both brought joy, knowledge, and light to countless folks. It’s heartbreaking to lose them both today while the cockroach felon lives on.

Broken-hearted writing this one. What an incredible talent, not just as an actress, but as a producer of classic family friendly but incredibly hip shows like Faerie Tale Theater (which I talk about at some length). RIP Shelley Duvall. t.co/WKVAAyy0Qy
Shelley Duvall Stood Outt.co No one looked like her. No one sounded like her. No one thought like her. And everyone in Hollywood knew it.

With Twisters spinning our way, it‘s important that everyone acknowledge the single best part of the original Twister’s legacy: Bill Paxton’s astounding performance in the long-retired Twister Universal Studios ride.
This is the Greatest IDGAF Performance Everscreencrush.com When Jimmy Fallon’s ride moves into Universal Studios, it will close this amazing Bill Paxton performance forever.

Wendy Torrance every bit the equal of Jack Torrance in that movie. I guarantee you you find everything in The Shining less perplexing and terrifying if Shelley Duvall isn't staring at all of it like she's on the brink of a complete nervous collapse at all times.

There’s that brief moment of relief when the wind picks up as a train rolls in, right before you remember it’s a gust of hot garbage air

RIP Martin Mull. There are plenty of good performances from him on various streaming services but boy I wish Fernwood 2 Night was legally available. Time to head to YouTube to watch random clips and episodes. www.youtube.com/results?sear...

Evening Primrose is a bizarre TV movie from the 60s in the vein of The Twilight Zone with songs by Stephen Sondheim. Did I mention it stars Norman Bates? It's about a secret society of people who pose as mannequins in a department store. What's not to love? www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA5l...
Stephen Sondheim - Evening Primrose (1966) ABC Stage 67www.youtube.com Evening Primrose is a made for TV musical film with a book by James Goldman and lyrics and music by Stephen Sondheim, written for the television anthology series ABC Stage 67. It aired on November 16, 1966. It is based on a John Collier short story published in the 1951 collection Fancies and Goodnights. Synopsis: Poet Charles Snell takes refuge from the world by hiding out in a department store after closing ("If You Can Find Me, I'm Here"). Once there he finds a secret group who have lived in the store for years. The leader of the group, Mrs. Monday, permits Charles to stay after he convinces her that he is a poet. Charles meets and is smitten with a beautiful young girl, Ella Harkins, Mrs. Monday's maid. Ella, who is now 19, has lived in the store since she was separated from her mother at age six, falling asleep in the women's hat department. Ella is unhappy and wants to leave, but is afraid of the "Dark Men." Should someone try to return to the outside world and risk revealing the group's existence, the Dark Men take them away and another mannequin appears in the clothing department. Charles realizes Ella has not seen the sun for thirteen years, but she replies that she remembers ("I Remember"). Charles has fallen in love with Ella; as he plays cards with members of the group, he has a quiet duet with Ella ("When"). Ella finally decides to leave with Charles ("Take Me To The World"). Charles is initially reluctant to leave his now-comfortable life, but then understands that he loves Ella more than poetry. Mrs. Monday and the others hear their plans, and they call the Dark Men, as Ella and Charles try to escape. The store opens the next morning with a couple on the sidewalk who resemble Ella and Charles from behind, but turn out to be strangers when the camera pans to their faces. They're looking at a window display in which Ella and Charles are now mannequins dressed as a bride and groom, with the night watchman acting as their minister.

I saw Merrily We Roll Along on Broadway tonight and it was so good it made me cry happy tears. What a thrill to be back in the Church of Sondheim and see three home-run performances help a challenging piece just go soaring into the canon. The standing ovation felt like actual heartfelt gratitude.

We don’t have enough holidays. But every time someone wants to make new holidays, people get mad and say it’s stupid. Take the holiday, friends. Take the holiday

I didn't think I'd feel so emotional about this. Guilty on all counts. My God. After years and years and years, finally, accountability at the hands of the justice system.

Though one thing I've known for a long time, perhaps not as embedded but still fun, is that Stephen Sondheim invented the phrase "everything's coming up roses." It was not a thing people said; it was a thing he devised.
I can't just this second think of another weird one-off phrase that has so embedded itself in the English language like "jump the shark" has. I'd think that most people would have no idea whence it came had they not been specifically told.

The greatest thing about George Miller's "Mad Max Saga" (I wish he called it the Road Warrior Saga) is that every entry is a departure from the one before it. He's built a universe full of distinct characters and uses each one to tell a different type of adventure story. PS: FURIOSA is fucking rad

It's so cool when a restaurant has an Instagram account instead of a website. I don't even want to see your menu. One photograph of a signature cocktail or pasta posted every week is plenty for me! Leave something to the imagination!

So one very fun piece of trivia I love sharing is that one of the most popular pieces of Western art in Japan is FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, they ADORE it, it’s a mainstay of Japanese theatre, and when you see the way they connect to it, their enthusiasm makes a lot of sense!

The preening and vanity of this statement, in particular, defies description. Every New Yorker should be alarmed to have a mayor who casually and repeatedly uses the word "we" to describe the NYPD.

As a person who suffered from debilitating depression for years before medication cleared it up, the lesson I want to impart upon everyone is this: The world, and your life in it, is not defined by the worst things that happen in it, and bad things are not more real than good things. That's it
