More bars these days seem to be a complete package, like a nightlife one-stop shop. They can be a club if you want—you know, the kind you dance in. They can be the place where you order a bottle of Champagne and endless oysters. They can be a jazz lounge. They can be the place where you think you've stumbled on a garage party attended by the city's coolest people (in a city you didn't know had cool people). They can be that dimly lit vault where you and everyone else become someone else. It's not just about the drinks. Then again, it's never just about the drinks. |

Note to pundits, etc.: if you are planning to write about the Cult of the Convicted Former President* and are groping for historical analogies, please be advised that it was Flavor-Aid, not Kool-Aid, that the Reverend Jim Jones laced with poison. Thank you, The Management. Anyway, watching the zombie-licious reaction of Republican politicians to Thursday's verdicts has been both nauseating and fascinating. And the most nauseating and fascinating of all came from renowned centrist Sen. Susan Collins, whose brows are now furrowed deeply enough to hold a three-day rain. |

Skarsgård frequently gets asked why he favors such dark characters. There is a subtext to the question: Why is a guy who looks as good as he does, who could earn a hell of a lot of money playing lovable hunks and heroes, making himself so damn terrifying, so damn unlikable—and perhaps unmarketable—onscreen? Well, those roles are boring. Diving into the psyche of Nosferatu's Count Orlok, a vampire raised by Belial's own hand, though? Now, that's fun. "You have to use all of your imagination to try to come up with something cohesive," he says of the appeal. It's also a two-way street, he reminds me. You can only book what you get offered, after all. "I'm drawn toward them the same way they're drawn toward me." |
