Sam Smith, 30, is the king of the world…a perfect person wearing nipple tassels. The only problem is that he’s put on too much weight. I liked him more when he was slender and dark-haired.
Robert Altman‘s The Long Goodbye (’74), 4:03:
Marty Augustine (Mark Rydell): And I understand you…you’re nervous.
Phillip Marlowe (Elliott Gould): I’m not nervous.
Augustine: Yes, you are. You’re nervous like I am. When I was a kid in high school [and] I used to dread gym class. Absolutely dread it.
Marlowe: Why was that?
Augustine: Because I didn’t have any pubic hair until I was 15 years old.
Marlowe: Oh, yeah? You musta looked like one of three little pigs.

Aaron Sorkin‘s “reimagined” production of Camelot begins previews begin on 3.9.23. The official opening happens on Thursday, 4.13.23. Andrew Burnap as Arthur, Phillipa Soo as Guinevere and Jordan Donica as Lancelot. Not quite on the level of Richard Burton, Julie Andrews and Robert Goulet, are they?
