Pamela Adlon created Better Things with the help of Louis CK, and now she’s being asked when she knew about his harassment of many other women. “But this is where we are: A talented woman has created a terrific show about women that women (and men) love. And now there’s a giant cloud over it, as a result of a man’s giant failings. It’s not the worst thing about this awful story; it’s not even close. But I hate that the women we need in Hollywood – in the world – can become collateral damage, even if I love the reckoning that has led to it.”

The Long, Gritty Legacy Of Kenneth MacMillan
Britain’s MacMillan “also effectively reinvented the 19th-century narrative ballet for an audience ready for tales of passion, drama and violence rather than those involving myths, swans and chivalry. He was — like Jerome Robbins and Antony Tudor in the United States — a bringer of neurosis, psychological drama and real-life grit to the rarefied world of ballet.”
Why Did The Tony Awards Suddenly Rule ‘1984’ Ineligible?
Well, we know why, but we don’t know why the show did what it did in the first place: “The production, whose lead producer is Scott Rudin, refused to provide tickets for one of the Tony nominators, Jose Antonio Vargas, and as a result, Tony officials pulled 1984’s eligibility. (Broadway sources, speaking on background because they weren’t authorized to comment, said the Tony Awards were also rebuffed in efforts to buy the tickets for Vargas.)”
What Does It Mean To Be A Mid-Career Composer?
Also, can there be such a thing during a time of tenuous and not at all secure employment, if employment there is at all? “Mid-career generally seems to refer to someone who has spent a good number of years pursuing their vocation following their formal studies, but is not yet approaching old age and retirement. This can be a somewhat confusing designation for many of us.”
Greta Gerwig, Like George Clooney, Has Made The Move From Actor To Director
It’s maddening at this particular moment to read the ways various media men have written about Gerwig as an actor. “Lady Bird, a remarkably self-assured debut, feels like a rebuke. Or at least an assertion of artistic intent. At 34, and moving, finally, behind the camera, Gerwig is exiting the phase of her life where she’ll be asked to represent a mysterious, fascinating rising generation.”
We Have A Problem: The Internet Economy Is Too Huge To Handle
How do you regulate algorithms? “Digital capitalism badly needs new rules – because the old laws are no longer effective. They were made for an economy that traded in real goods and for which price was an important factor. That could all be taxed, controlled and, if need be, adjusted.”
When Should Movie Theatres Raise The Lights?
As the movie Call Me By Your Name gets rapturous reviews, two London theatre chains are in hot water for raising the lights during the credits – which actually scroll over the final scene in the movie. That could be because of automation or health and safety laws, but how can it be fixed?
Sex Workers Star In The Tour Of ‘The Sex Worker’s Opera’
One of them says, “Being a sex worker can be quite isolating. We don’t have our own social club that we can go down to once a month and meet people.”
The Food Writer Who Lost Her Sense Of Smell
A bike tangles with a pedestrian – and the pedestrian, the food writer, gets a concussion. “Given that I’d never lost consciousness or suffered any memory impairment, I had unilaterally decided that the injury would be nothing more than a story with which to regale friends and acquaintances at future cocktail parties. Apparently, this memo never made it to certain parts of my cranium.”
How To Attribute Drawings, Or This Drawing Specifically, To Michelangelo
Style, handwriting, and documentary evidence all played a part. Details help: “The gnarled torso, the lightly sketched peripheral elements and the corrections made with parallel hatching are all hallmarks of Michelangelo.”
