What I saw and read last week

I remember being surprised that Charlton Heston was so good as the Player King in Hamlet. And he's really good as Marc Antony. Jason Robards is stiff.
When William Goldman was a boy he had horrible night terrors. He constantly yelled out for his mom. One night, after yelling for help, his mom threw a candle, a candle holder and a box of matches at the wall over his head. He was six or so.
I read this in bits and pieces over the last year.
Disturbing stuff. Read three quarters of it about a year ago. Picked it up this Tuesday and finished it.

Also, nice interview about The Book of Mormon musical. Warning, I think there is some profanity, but I liked the story of how they researched. I like these guys. www.aintitcool.com/node/48344
