Choo Choo, Shelley Long!

Not only did I end this blog, but now I’ve actually begun a new one: at DrewMackie.com, no less. I’m writing longer pieces that I work on for a greater length of time than I usually worked on anything here, and the first piece is up as of the posting of this. It’s about Shelley Long, but especially in the context of the 1984 movie Irreconcilable Differences, and Polly Platt and Nancy Meyers and Hollywood’s tendency to imitate itself and to forget about the successes of female creators. There will be more there, but certainly not every day and nothing like the rate I once posted here. It’s better this way.
