  1. In fairness to Mitt Romney, he did spell "A" correctly. washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/…
  2. NYC talking point of the day: Stark terror at what August will feel like if this is May.
  3. Just caught Mad Men and am reminded again that no show on TV takes greater, scarier risks. It's not shark-jumping, it's cliff-diving.
  4. @mattzollerseitz They should do it more often. Too often their huge canvas means a lot of temporizing and foreboding but no momentum.
  5. A plot update for those who gave up on The Killing after S1: This week, Mireille Enos finally stopped wearing that ugly sweater.
  6. Austere. Solemn. Ascetic. Rigorous. Spare. Hushed. Oppressive. If Cannes isn't punishment, why do critics make it sound that way?
  7. If Moonrise Kingdom's huge opening turns it into Anderson's Midnight in Paris, we might have our first Best Pic nom. We'll know in 4-6 wks.
  8. Cannes closing ceremony stream if anybody wants it: justin.tv/tv_papou#/w/31…
  9. I have spent my Saturday researching movies on possibly the only site called "Real Military Videos" that is not gay porn.
  10. Wise words on curtain calls from @RobertFalls201: Show actors respect. Wait the 2 min tops. If you can't, you're a rude asshole. Period.
  11. I have never read the end of a reader comment that started "I stopped reading this when you said..."
  12. I'm ready for earnest colloquies on white insularity & privilege re the new Wes Anderson movie! Or is that okay unless Lena Dunham does it?
  13. Cannes news I automatically dial down by at least 50%: "early lock for a prize," "X-minute ovation," "bidding war."
  14. By this weekend last year, 2 Best Picture nominees had opened, as had Bridesmaids. This year, I'd say we're still at zero.
  15. Gay movie karma: G.I. Joe flees 6/29/12, but Magic Mike, which looks like a movie about what I used to do to G.I. Joe dolls, stays there.
  16. From @TVMoJoe, a must-read for all fans of Community. vulture.com/2012/05/dan-ha…
  17. @nprmonkeysee @poniewozik The thundering, unified opposition from the cast and rest of the creative team seems strangely...not there.
  18. @poniewozik @Memles @TVMoJoe Law & Order--Dick Wolf being told he had to add women to the cast after season 3.
  19. @SamuelAAdams @MarkHarrisNYC I'm no expert but I don't think black religious opinion on this has always been as unified as analysts suggest.
  20. Think Obama's pro-gay marriage stance doesn't make a difference? African-American support just jumped from 40% to 59%. slatest.slate.com/posts/2012/05/…
