Was ever there a more realistic docu ‘opening’ than Sarah Silverman’s Someone You Love? Jewish family devotion never had better PR! Bill Maher interviewing Jay Leno speaking of youth in front old comedians: “Don’t give them a reason to roll their eyes”
If Ronan Farrow hadn’t pursued investigative journalism he’d have been a comedian! Right! Irony. Needs think about it? All that research into female vaginas etc. The male Nikki Glaser! Instead well: no faulting his brave, unrelenting…. And you know: everyone has an achilles ney Art Deco flapper down where…. Hey, loosen up. Exempt for TRUMP! No smoking, no drinking, no -was gonna say real woman, but no wanna get sued. The ones that say yes seem very real! So, go cancel me for truth. See where it gets you. You’re sad, saggy, soggy….what’s 4years between ideals. Or heels. Or
Who knows? It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach, under a tree
I got a feelin' there's a miracle due
Gonna come true, comin' to me
Don’t always read other reviews but was curious of Capote vs,, As with Pauline Kael, the criticisms are perfectly valid but so is the song being sung. This Capote isn’t the Phil Seymour Hoffman youngster Capote. You can’t compare Shostakovich with Rachmaninov. Yet some can. And will. Tom Hollander ferociously observant, honest, pellucid, startling raw. Assuming yet not. What happened to Truman Capote? Many knew and most now dead. Was he a precursor to say Jonathan Franzen? Or indeed Ronan Farrow?! Plucking names. Truman seems hard bitten romanticism, unthwarted. And that is what Feud: Capote vs.The Swans gets: more Douglas Sirk than Ingmar Bergman. How can one dance without pain? Sing without sorrow? Act without guilt? Think without tomorrow?
Happy oh F: another YEAR! Always in progress…and happily to end and start another.
Just had an urge to write ‘stead of join a New Year ‘throng’.
And whilst still 2025 sober, Elon: what are you doing turning into a toad? Remember what happened to Alberich in Wagner’s Ring Cycle?! Goopsy, my bad: frogs are the ones using Paris Hilton beauty merch. Toads are those…who never shave their legpits. That’s a joke Seth can’t say:) Seriously: could you have a nudging word with Mr. Facebook so Marketplace toads can at least edit their listings without the little crossed circle always appearing. Daily limits are one thing and pond life is tricky but a toad needs earn a living selling his recycled plastic!
Some Sibelius New Year’s: Finland’s Mahler! Those celli basses get me …everytime! How are those undersea cables doin’ Finland?
Ever had that alone evening feeling that with all the viewing options now available: the subtitled movie promising itself to you isn’t right, nor all the fascinating museum videos, nor the comedy specials, nor even that Adam Sandler comedy you may not like all but you know a lot will. Bill Maher’s Club Random takes that edge off whether you’re sober or not. [now this is sounding like one of his wholesome info plugs]. Sheryl Crow did that post New Year’s! Chill out and listen to some informed conversation. Nobody talks anyone: do I remember that from a Club Random or was it a comedy special?
Surprising how gripping was Daniela Völker’s new documentary The Commandant’s Shadow. One of those things keeping mind to watch but move on there’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. It is gripping. Why so? Maybe we live now in a world where everything is knowable yet curiosity waning. This documentary necessarily reminds us that family hasn’t ever really changed over the decades. Therein lies its power, sadness, and hope?
You were the only one who was nice to me!

A thought: what if what Aubrey Plaza’s week happened to you/me?
Would it be: F it, just let’s do the Golden Globes? Get on with life, find the light. Throw the pain back. Everyone is different but there’s an enormous hole in my enormous Gingerbread Man soul says no. Can’t.
That hole is GI-normous never to be filled. [dispiace riffing on Sarah Silverman]. What do they know, not seen any work ‘cept White Lotus? Not like Natasha Lyonne or anything! Yet ain’t we all the same still lock-in’ for a something that won’t leave an enormous hole in our, hmm, sweetbread existence? Lucky are the creatures that bond. Alas, that not always ending happily in David Attenborough’s world. Haven’t u noticed! Try might! Humans. Sometimes ordinary people simply ain’t that kind or nice to those who are different. Not, hmm, state but true!
Sometimes at least somewhat of a solution, just keep working at what you enjoy. Busy not too busy. Do squirrels ever get depressed even though it should be obvious to them we know where those nuts are buried? We saw you! Cats some that desperate jump into folks’ cars with their kittens?! This stranger/strangler will help me! Surely. Not all felines fi-fe-alphaba. Whatever happened nature/nurture?! Evil is-oh, no, covered that topic.
Was going somewhere now totally in mists of time.
Going back to binging A Gentleman in Moscow. You’ll shed a tear…
Didn’t Nikki nail the Golden Globes! All holes filled: a Trump golf course with no law suits or reprisals. How good does it….That’s what we need, a feline Harrison Ford to re-build our world:)

Was wondering whether Billy Crystal could possibly ever make a joke about the LA fires:
Spaking [or the other’n’;} democracy in this town, at least we’re all equal now. Celebrities and ‘alphaba’ streets alike. None of us have to pay for that pool guy anymore. Right. Until…Who ever heard of $575 to remove a frog from a pool? Sure, humanely! What, you needed a crane! Not a net! Put him/her/they/slim into the Chateau Marmont! Traumatised! Of course. Give it a free golf course membership whilst still in re-hab mode! Got a pot on the stove for ‘tea’! Ahhh!
Totally my fault my pool was invaded! But I’m Doctor Dolittle so please just spend my money as you see fit! Ahhhhhhh!!!!
Watching The Agency and becoming bored…but for those 30min good I needed you. Something inside me…You were in GOOD company Paramount as my channels switched. So that’s just me on a bad day. Knowing me on a GOOD day: cruel to be kind.
Cameras don’t create their look they capture it. Well, though really great cinematographers do both. Michael Fassbender all just looks the audience wants to know. What movie stars all are about. That said, all Perfect Days does is look. And we sense more real than CIA fiction.
But I’ll keep looking as Paramount has given me another month free trail:) It’s not Mikio Naruse but have to load my DVD for that. Remember DVD’s in 2060 state controlled freedom. Coming into their collectible own like cassettes.
