  1. I liked Mr. Stller, but Jewish humor not so much. Perhaps because I saw George Jessel entertain when I was in the Army overseas in 1968. He was angry because only a few soldiers remembered Al Jolson.
  2. Planning is underway for next year. It will be a full week in 2021. Can't wait
  3. Tucker Carlson, Doctor Fauci has never been elected to anything. Even Liz Cheney is disagreeing with Fox News and it's politcal criticizing of Anthony Fauci.
  4. Sandra Day O'Connor was/is concerned about the Bush v Gore court decision even though she voted with the other Republicans on that case.
  5. Roberts voted to keep the Affordable Care Act.
  6. I believe Trump is on shaky ground with Chief Justice Roberts.
  7. The OP is having a difficult time finding sex pardners during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
  8. Judy Garland was quite tiny too, shorter than Patti LuPone for sure.
  9. Wow if Mary Martin was taller than Patti LuPone, LuPone's producers must have huge problems casting others in Broadway shows, especially men.
  10. I was surprised Mary Martin (speaking of fairy dust) was so tiny when I saw her in local department store in the 1980s.
  11. Perhaps Netflix will rethink the company's relationship with Ryan Murphy after this disaster, or at least exercise more control of his work Glorified Henry Willson makes no sense to me. Same comment for a woman head of a major studio in the late 1940s.
  12. Hey, RockHardNYC, I agreed with your critical comments about "Hollywood," and have only seen Patti LuPone three times (twice in the "Sweeney Todd" concert). I don't believe Bernadette Peters has worked with Ryan Murphy even. If so, smart decision.
  13. We are in the midst of middle of a pandemic. Many people are out of work, not by choice: so-called couch potatoes also exercise and read as well as watch television.
  14. I don't know enough about Patti LuPone to be concerned about her weight. She is seventy years old and those clothes made her look ridiculous. I realize the Intentions were fine, but how was gastation Ernie transformed into the kind and loving man shown later in the story? Same question about most of the other characters in the show. Where does that leave Netflix. It will survive, less sure about Ryan Murphy.

    One always knew how many days were left in Vietnam before finally going home.

    I was a chaplains' assistant in a light infantry brigade. Part of the job was guarding the chaplain, so I waited until discharge in June 1969 to indulge.

    I read "Tin Drum" in Vietnam (1968)?
  18. The president has now changed his mind on the novel coronavirus task force; it is back on again. Good, as long as he turns it over to Deborah Brix and Anthony Fauci.

    Time to read Thomas Mann again, either The Magic Mountain or Doctor Faustus. Or Gunter Grass.
  20. Very difficult to connect the Rock Hudson in "Hollywood" with the real Rock Hudson. But, I understand. In the final episode, Patti LuPone's clothes were way over the top. Distractions from the plot. Clothes are important, but would Lucille Ball have worn clothes like that when she was the president of Desilu Studios?
  21. Kirk Cameron and his sister were still find raising for Samitarian Purse. Yikes.
  22. I haven't watched the last episode yet. Ernie and Henry Willson start as bad guys. Willson as a hero later on is huge stretch. I understand Ernie's Change of Heart, not Willson's. I wish Ryan Murphy's budge emphasis was on the script, less on the atmospheric, clothes and scenery.
  23. Now Trump is comparable to Lincoln. Absolutely nobody else will except his daffy echo, Jared Kushner

    My brother Rick has written books that have done quite well, including on Amazon. But he hasn't written about his Framingham, Massachusetts classmate, Christa McCaliffe. (Challenger mission fatality)
  25. Wonderful. So true.
