This week:
Processing the Huge And Just Like That… News
It is finally June. Summer is here. It’s Pride Month. And, perhaps most meaningful of all, it is nearly is, or stop insisting that everyone watch it and threatening the Television Academy with legal action if they fail to nominate for Emmy Awards this year? No! I will not, especially now that it was announced that it has been renewed for a third season.
I interviewed star and co-creator Bridget Everett about the recently concluded, really special second season. (Read it here!) Now, watch this show!!!
Congrats to Oppenheimer?
I don’t presume to know what is a normal size for a film print that theaters use to project movies. But this announcement about Oppenheimer, the new Christopher Nolan film hitting theaters this summer, cracked me up.
Eleven miles! Six-hundred pounds! Excited to arrive at the theater and know that what I’m watching is apparently the size of a small island.
