Oof, the way Twitter is going this past week, I'm surely about to tweet something that will get me canceled up one side, down the other, and straight to H E double hockey sticks.
Well, wherever I go I'm going there without typos.
And I'm going like Elsie.

Did I just read an entire article, in one of our great national newspapers, about Sophia Loren's new movie that neglects to mention that it's a remake?
I mean, I love a good remake, but if the previous incarnation of a vehicle won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film, possibly it's worth mentioning, at least in passing.
This is Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell erasure all over again.

In case what you really needed to see today were some photos of Alla Nazimova as Mrs. Alving in Ghosts. ImageImageImage
Or in The Cherry Orchard, A Doll's House, or Hedda Gabler. ImageImageImage
I seem to be free-associating Lesbians Who Have Played Hedda. ImageImageImage

I'd like borrow this, if I may, for live theater:

What's the most visceral collective audience response you've ever experienced in a theater?
Mine was the response to "Well, it would be your lucky day if I was" (in Angels in America: Perestroika).

The laughter stopped the show for at least three full minutes, and as the audience quieted down someone let out a late guffaw and IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN.

Only in New York, kids.

Or do I mean "Only on New York, kids"?
The rest of the sentence leaves a lot to be desired, but whatevs.
Whenever I can't remember which, by birthright, I'm supposed to say, I just ask anyone not from New York what they say, and when they say "in line" I know that I'm "on line."

If you follow me.
