Maja Godlewska

I’ve decided to love this artist’s work: Maja Godlewska. Let me know what you think.
Yes, you.

Containing as much of the play as is necessary
or proper to acquaint the reader with
in his decision to attend the performance

In that part of southern Vermont known as Dorset, there lately lived, and perhaps lives still, a gentleman whose name is John Morrison, and who might well be called the favorite of both audience and actors; for both of these seemed to have contended which should bless and enrich him most. In this contention, the [...]

Even the horse knows the way.

There’s something comfortably familiar about an Agatha Christie play. Maybe it’s the fake British accents, maybe it’s the mid-century costumes, or maybe it’s the lack of anything controversial. The whole experience is very “going to grandmother’s house to spend a nice Sunday afternoon drinking lemonade on a partly cloudy day.”
“A Murder is Announced,” now playing [...]

Dorset Theatre Festival Is Back!

[I've been asked to write a review of all the opening night shows at the Dorset Theatre Festival this summer, so once in a while, there'll be no Gobbledygook on Friday; instead, you'll get to read a review. Hope you don't mind.]
Let’s not beat around the bush. Dorset Theatre Festival had been slipping for the [...]

Graduation ain’t got nothing on this

We set the television on the kitchen table and arranged our chairs in a half-circle around it. We all could feel that something was going to happen. This was going to be an event. Someone pushed the power button, and we heard it, that tinkly-pinkly that is Nintendo’s trademark, which was soon followed by the [...]

Brokeback Mountain

I watched Brokeback Mountain last night. While I applaud the decision to make the movie and to cast two young Hollywood Stars in it, the movie, taken out of the context of America’s culture war, didn’t do too much for me. As with Ang Lee’s previous movies, The Ice Storm, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and [...]

The Giants: Season Two

When you’re a college undergrad who mostly takes independent studies, who only works about 10 hours a week over the Internet, and who lives in a very small town, it’s important to have a mindless outlet where you can spend several hours a week just vegging out.
For me, that outlet is MVP Baseball: 2004, for [...]

Intense

Last night, I finished watching season four of West Wing on DVD. I own seasons one through three, but haven’t had the time, money, or inclination to purchase season four, which is yet another reason why NetFlix is the shit.
Season four is the one where Rob Lowe leaves the show, the President wins reelection, CJ’s [...]

Don’t you miss Carla Maria Victoria Angelina Teresa Apollonia Lozupone Tortelli LeBec? ‘Cause I do.

I thought I knew what I was talking about. I did. Christ, I can still remember NBC’s original Thursday night lineup, before Seinfeld and Friends made it Must-See TV. You had The Cosby Show at 8pm, Family Ties at 8:30pm, Cheers at 9pm, and Night Court at 9:30pm. After that it was bedtime, but the [...]
