Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

... you can learn from:


Arnold : Ma... I miss him. 
Ma: Give yourself time, Arnold. It gets better... But, Arnold, it never goes away. You can work longer hours, adopt a son, fight with me, whatever... it'll still be there. But that's all right, it becomes a part of you, like learning to wear a ring or a pair of eyeglasses. You get used to it. And that's good. It's good, because it makes sure you don't forget. You don't want to forget him, do you?

I have never seen Torch Song Trilogy, you guys! Shame on me, I am a lousy terrible and foul homosexual - take me into the streets and beat me violently about the wrists with calla-lilies. (Until all that is done you should also wish Harvey Fierstein a happy birthday.)

The play coming to Bway this Fall with Michael Urie and Mercedes Ruhl. It's a very good production transferring from Second Stage.

It is a remarkable play. I've seen it twice, but considering more than half the material has been cut from the movie, the acting is terrific and it's worth seeing. Harvey Fierstein is marvelous in it and, while I'm not a huge Ann Bancroft fan, she's not bad in it.

It is a lovely film very much worth seeing. Not much more to say (well of course I could go on and on in rapturous effusiveness about the performers, etc. but it's really something to be experienced first hand). Track it down it's so worth the time.

Sign me up for punishment too, I guess, because there is no way I'm voluntarily subjecting myself to Harvey Fierstein.
