darianoutloud: While the experiences of Black queer men living with HIV are largely ignored in Tony Kushner’s “Angels in America” and Larry Kramer’s “A Normal Heart,” Love centers our experiences in “one in two,” and the result is simultaneously jarring and achingly beautiful. Grab your ticket!

HorrorFilms101: a) Tony Kushner's his best script collaborator ever. Been bringing out the best in his work in recent years, tamping down his worst inclinations. Brought out his being an absolute freak in "Fabelmans."

If you’re a big fan of Kushner’s works, you can rewatch Tony’s amazing conversation with NPR’s Scott Simon where he discusses his creative process and so much more:
TonyHussein4: The investigation into Hunter Biden's laptop is an inquisition into the affairs of a private citizen. Jared and Ivanka were part of the Trump administration. Six months after former President Trump stole top-secret documents, Jared Kushner received $2 billion from the Saudis.
mmpadellan: I don't know who needs to hear this, but the Saudis gifted $2 billion to Jared Kushner for *something* and they need to get all forensic on his ass to find out why
$2 billion dollars is A LOT of money.

claudioalvesDC: 3) THE FABELMANS, Steven Spielberg & Tony Kushner
Improves on re-watch, revealing pricklier ideas the more you mull its domestic melodrama. Sacrifices reality to reach for something higher, more vital but less easy to digest. The big speeches could do with some editing, perhaps.
