Never met a dachshund I haven’t liked.
Vanity Fair has a great hour-long video interview with James Cameron, where he talks about all his films. Love hearing his conversations with Leonardo DiCaprio about his initial trepidation playing Jack in TITANIC.

“It’s about holding the center.”

Udo Kier was a legend who always gave nothing less than a memorable performance in whatever film he was in. One of my favorites of his is SWAN SONG where he delivers all the emotional notes with vibrancy & vulnerability. He’s also terrific as a bitchy wedding planner in MELANCHOLIA. #RIPUdoKier

Audiences watching #WickedForGood leading to Jonathan Bailey and Cynthia Erivo’s version of “As Long As You’re Mine” (which even Stephen Schwartz agreed with me is hot)

Gwyneth Paltrow speaking about returning to the Silver Screen in #MartySupreme - jumping at the chance to work with filmmaker Josh Safdie and finding a poignancy & agency within her character - is so important to me. She’s terrific in this film. A guiding force.
