I woke up this morning to see that snow is literally HIGHER THAN MY WINDOW. I can’t see out my window. This is like a Laura Ingalls Wilder book, except that I have … you know … a radiator that is blasting heat. But I haven’t seen snow that high in … years. Kinda cool, actually. It’s still coming down. They were not kidding when they said “blizzard”. So what does one do during a blizzard?? Post excerpts from … Edward Gibbons’ masterpiece<\/a>. Of course. Makes total sense.<\/p>\n

Is there any other place on the Internet where one goes from Michelle Kwan to the Roman Empire? I didn’t think so.<\/p>\n

And look out. I’ll be working on a piece on Bill Pullman <\/a>today, and why I think he is one of our most wonderful and most UNSUNG actors. As a matter of fact, if they were going to “remake” Bringing Up Baby<\/i> (and please: DON’T GET ANY IDEAS – DON’T EVER REMAKE THAT FILM … I’m just saying IF they were …) – I would cast Bill Pullman as Dr. Huxley. He’s got that thing<\/i>. He’s got that Cary Grant thing<\/i>. That kind of baffled sweetness, and the feeling that … he’s always thinking about something ELSE, which gives him an air of distraction and makes him, on occasion, clumsy. As we all know, men who have an air of distraction tend to drive women NUTS with desire … because women want to break through the distraction … and make the men FOCUS, and LOOK at them … and so we turn ourselves inside out to get their attention. This is part of Cary Grant’s charm in those roles. Women literally go INSANE trying to get Cary Grant to focus only on them. (Ahem – Only Angels Have Wings<\/i> … but also Bringing Up Baby<\/i>.) Bill Pullman has that in SPADES. Along with an underlying sweetness. A devastating combo. He’s also very very funny. So.<\/p>\n

More on Pullman later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
