You could never have Kramer make a statue of Jerry out of fusilli nowadays!
This week in Talk of the Town: over late supper at the Russian Samovar, the stars of "Patriots" on Broadway talk about Putin's "tiny ironic smile" and how getting bashed in the head by a rock while jogging gave Michael Stuhlbarg "another lease on life." newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…
Have just been reliably informed that there’s a movie on Netflix starring Mary-Louise Parker opposite Woody Woodpecker.
I could give you 1,000 tries to guess how Kirstie Alley’s parents were dressed when they died in a car accident and you wouldn’t get it right

It’s been years, and I’m still riveted by details of the LA LA LAND-MOONLIGHT mixup at the Oscars. Via @MJSchulman’s terrific OSCAR WARS.
I was one of those high school students acting in a Durang play (Dentity Crisis), laughing wild amid severest woe. @MJSchulman’s beautiful eulogy has priceless emails from the great man and we eavesdrop and laugh. newyorker.com/culture/postsc…
My @NewYorker review of The Tortured Poets Department, online now & in print next week 😃🧐🥹😳😬😵💫🥴 newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…
Or what if we let Brian Cox and Courtney Love host the Thanksgiving parade? "And here come the lousy fucks from the Meadowville Jr. High marching band." "They're playing all the right notes but they don't stand for anything. Just corporate whores walking in unison."

In Talk of the Town: @ianadelman makes sandcastles that look like Gehry-esque sci-fi towers, and is one of forty-plus creative people featured in Adam Moss's book "The Work of Art." "If this were stone, I would be so paralyzed," he said. newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…
For the young and stagestruck, Christopher Durang was a gateway drug to dark comedy, and often to theatre itself. Here's my New Yorker tribute to one of my comedy heroes, including a smattering of correspondence starting when I was 19. newyorker.com/culture/postsc…
Finally finished, and to the surprise of no one, it’s one of my favorite books ever. I love that it’s not salacious at all, but rather hyper focuses on the minutiae of how and why things happen the way they do. And that’s what I’ve always strived for as a writer.

@MJSchulman @JenLouiseWilson Nice piece. But Berezovsky is not even close (and never was) to being the most notorious of the Russian oligarchs in a world where Abramovich, Khodorkovskiy et al still haunt our us.
I’d believe it if it turned out all our greatest athletes were embroiled in homoerotic love triangles with constantly shifting power dynamics

@MJSchulman Yes I watched it last weekend with my cousin's kids. I hope they paid her a lot.
I’ve realized that you can actually just curate the 1990 NBC Thursday night lineup on Peacock and watch that
Wow!
I can’t decide whether I think the show Seinfeld canonically suggests that the character of Kenny Bania is only slightly more annoying and corny than Jerry, or if that’s something I’ve concluded on my own!!!
@MJSchulman I think I could have been impartial
