It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, I’m not getting what I want—I’m not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, “I know you weren’t happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldn’t have gone home if I had felt we weren’t getting it.” And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, “You find it difficult to be happy, don’t you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.” And I said, “Well, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.” He talked to me then about when he was making, I don’t know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, “I didn’t enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.” And then he said, “You know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”
The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.
Thanks for the coverage!

yes!
If there's media you care about, it's hard to overstate how important it is that you subscribe to it. Ad rates are garbage, and the changes to search mean fewer new folks discovering sites they didn't already visit.
plz consider buying my big book, CARTOONSHOW from @oni-press.bsky.social. Here's one of my favorite reviews: solrad.co/the-end-of-c...
One cool thing about The Comics Staple, is that the plan (for now) is to go totally DIY with the whole thing! That means printing, folding, stapling, and mailing from my garage!!

now this also doesn't mean that these arts can't pass into relevance here are there. wicked obviously was a big cultural moment. however, those moments are few and far between. olympics curling is huge, but how many people watch curling regularly? could you compare it to basketball?
you can say the same thing about musical theater (one of my major loves) or comics or baseball. they don't have the same cultural hold right now as movies or even tiktoks do. that doesn't mean the art doesn't matter or that its bad or that there aren't fans.
honestly, my hot take is that i agree with what he's saying. it's tough to be the face of a "dying" art. while there are obviously lovers of ballet and opera and amazing people working in those fields, their time of major cultural relevance has passed.
thank you kindly!
hahaha it should be! its blank, i got it used off ebay

Someone in Anchorage’s Fur Rondy Snow Sculpture competition did the giant, snowman eating, tentacle monster from Calvin & Hobbes and I just have to say: they straight up killed it.
