True, but Indian Wells and Coachella dwarf the others (Coachella is actually more than 125,000, same as Modernism week, but that is centered in PS but is in early February, too early to matter. Indian Wells gets 450,000 over two weeks). Just sayin’.

If it’s not held at the same time as Coachella, Fri, Apr 12, 2019, 3:00 PM – Sun, Apr 21, 2019, 11:30 PM PDT, or Indian Wells Tennis, March 4 - 17. 2019, rooms might be a wee bit less expensive. (Every wee bit helps.)

Broadway is indeed more about tourism than about theater. Feeding tourists makes those “Y’alling” ladies think they’re engaging with theater, which I dare say they don’t do in Biloxi.

Er, time to get a sense of humor. As a friend on the Tony nominating committee puts it, “I always bring flowers when I visit the Magnificent Invalid. She insists.”

Totally chicken-sh*t casting of hosts. If the Tony’s really wanted to guarantee blockbuster viewership, they would bring back Kevin Spacey. Everyone would watch. No wonder Broadway is dying. Still.

“We opened our office because we felt there was a growing need for hair removal.“ Very Kardashian.

I think participation ribbons would be nice.

Moscow Mule is definitely a stripper name.

Lifting heavy objects is one common cause of hemorrhoids. One tends to, um, squeeze.

Is Ginger Beer a stripper name?

Hemorrhoids are very common. Nearly three out of four adults will have hemorrhoids from time to time, and weight-lifting...well, guaranteed. Ask Amy. And congratulations on the most revolting forum post in years.

It’s windy out there at the moment. Expect considerable blowing.

Um, did you say...beard?

And that's one big reason the article is sheerest nonsense. As if "many movie goers" have any deeply felt opinions over a non-starter like Armie Hammer, star of bomb-after-bomb, at all. The idea that Guadagnino "weaponized" the public perception of Armie Hammer is ludicrous. It's also emblematic of the hero-worship all around this perfectly nice film, which is totally crazy.

No, you haven’t.

See above. An inability to distinguish between an actor and the character he plays is a wee bit of a problem.

Uh...the character is an object of pity, not the actor. (See: closet, The.) Sheesh.

Watched it. Pretty good, I thought. The mob-ocracy of support for complicit Joe Pa gave me the willies.

Really? Here’s a hint: When confronting a dire social issue, always punch up, not down. ALWAYS.

I have it DVR’d. Interesting idea to do a movie about an enabler, rather than the criminal or the victims.

Maybe you can give us some actual examples for your dire claim? You know, something other than “She used 80 names, 30 addresses, 15 telephone numbers to collect food stamps, Social Security, veterans’ benefits for four nonexistent deceased veteran husbands, as well as welfare. Her tax-free cash income alone has been running $150,000 a year.” Reagan already cornered the market on Cadillac-driving welfare queens about 40 years ago. Your turn.

True. He’s an object of pity.

I’m not yet sure an still go back and forth on this. I would think Wanda Sykes, Sara Gilbert and Whitney Cummings, who is co-showrunner, would not allow empty-handed propaganda to define their show — and it is as much their show as it is the bigoted star’s. We’ll see.

It will if @TruHart1 keeps going.
