The Graduate at Fifty

June 22, 2020

People still love The Graduate and ask the same questions. What happened to Mrs. Robinson? How’s her daughter Elaine doing? Is she still with Benjamin Braddock? No one ever asks how I am. I’m only Mr. Robinson, the trusting husband whose wife incessantly screws Benjamin, the son of my law partner. I should kill the […]

Visiting the Birdman

June 15, 2020

I guess I’m honored. I’ve read Burt Lancaster’s a fine actor and here he is, preparing to play me in Birdman of Alcatraz. “Why the hell’s Alcatraz in the title,” I tell him. “I suppose that sounds better than Birdman of Leavenworth.” “I hope you’re making a fair movie.” “We’re doing our best, Mr. Stroud.” […]

Biden Returns to the Spotlight

April 27, 2020

Hey, remember me? I’m the guy who won a bunch of Democratic primaries and earned the opportunity to run against Donald Trump. I ought to be the most visible person in the country, jetting around and bashing the worst president in our history. Instead, like you, I’m stuck at home, hiding from this damn coronavirus. […]

Woody Allen Testifies

April 18, 2020

There are some misconceptions about me that I have to clarify. Before I get to the biggest one, let me tell you I may be short, skinny, and bespectacled but as a kid and young man I was a hell of an athlete especially in baseball. I could run and catch and throw and hit, […]
