I told my friend that I saw John Turturro at the Angelika tonight and my friend said that he recently saw him at the IFC. Now I’m imagining JT just constantly being at the movies.

Bruno Mars as Conrad Birdie.
OK, here's a parlor game.
Name a performer you'd've liked to see onstage in a role they never played and for which they were, at some point or other, age-appropriate, that's not Judy Garland as Rose, Mame, or Martha.

A worm that can cause epilepsy. Sounds crazy, no? But in our little village of Anatevka you might say every one of us is a worm that can cause epilepsy.

I said I would do this last night but I was too tired so lets do it today. A few caveats - not saying this list is exhaustive, it's just a good place to start. It's also not in chronological order because I'm a chaos gremlin

Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.
