“I’m a sucker for gossip. And it was as advertised, full of intrigue and juice and all the other numbing and tantalizing details of life someplace I’ve never been and hope never to be — on the campaign trail.” @overbye on @AmyChozick’s #ChasingHIllaryhttps://nyti.ms/2GJmtjF?smid=nytcore-ios-share …

“they asked me if I wanted kasha on my omelette. I took one bite of it & I made the same face that #TomHanks makes in #Big when he eats the caviar. I was literally scraping my tongue I hated it so much” @Jonahnro on his “grave #kasha error” @Ricochet #GLOPhttps://ricochet.com/podcast/goldberg-long-podhoretz/with-three-you-get-eggnog/ …

”They didn’t use the elevators very much - John McClane had trouble catching it, and Hans Gruber technically used the elevator on the way up but he did not use it on the way down.” @Jimgeraghty on why #DieHard is a green friendly movie. cc @Dateline_DChttps://www.stitcher.com/s?eid=57897819&autoplay=1&refid=asi_twtr …

“there is #DieHard, which as you know many people consider the greatest #ChristmasMovie of all time. I’m more interested in the fact that the party at #NakatomiPlaza takes place on #Xmas eve — I don’t really think that’s normal.” @jpodhoretz to @MattKLewishttps://www.stitcher.com/s?eid=57676859&autoplay=1&refid=asi_twtr …

#PennyMarshall “remained #MyrnaTurner when she promoted the movies she directed. And was the same when she did the actual directing. Her style, she said, was largely to whine at the actors and the crew until they did what she wanted” @Jpodhoretz #OddCouplehttps://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2018/12/19/penny-marshall-was-an-authentic-bronx-girl-who-always-kept-it-real/amp/ …
