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.

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.

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.
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."
