    What's hard is simple. What's natural comes hard. Did this for Sondheim's 91st birthday, eight months ago.

    Paul Thomas Anderson's LICORICE PIZZA -- a wistful, wide-eyed romance as sweet as the first time any of us fell in love. Possibly the year's best film; easily its most delightful surprise.

    A gorgeous remembrance. Scott and I had talked about doing an hour-long special for Sondheim's 90th birthday but the pandemic squelched it. I'm sure I'll spend many, many hours listening to his music this week. And for the rest of my life.

    My review of Paul Thomas Anderson's delicious new comedy, LICORICE PIZZA got bumped from after the first feed (for my appreciation of Stephen Sondheim) so only the east coast heard it. If you missed it, here ya' go.

    A bit of hero worship I wrote a few years ago.

    Among things for which we're grateful: new beaded art on our wall from the amazing collection of , an artists' community founded in 1999 to help South African women gain financial independence. Photos don't do it justice. Gorgeous.

    When Gaga & Leto are going at it in HOUSE OF GUCCI with those nutty Italian accents, they might as well be Madeline Kahn & Gene Wilder directed by Mel Brooks. Listen and you'll see. THE HUMANS, by contrast, is down-to-earth and richly, um...human.

    Lady Gaga and Jared Leto in THE HOUSE OF GUCCI.
    Beanie Feldstein and Steven Yeun in THE HUMANS.

    Easy to see what attracted dir Jane Campion to POWER OF THE DOG: Like THE PIANO, it has wide open spaces, a sensitive man, a cruel man, & a single mother with child. Also an instrument in the parlor, practicing on which causes all kinds of trouble.
