Thanks for reading through to the end…
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Steve Shanafelt is in the Alan Cumming role, obviously.
You have to see that boy eat a banana to appreciate it, too.
I’m not sure I even want to know what you’re talking about.
Probably not, no.
Unlike Justin, I have seen both BRINGING UP BABY and WHAT’S UP, DOC? and will happily punch you in the mouth.
Ah, a Hepburn admirer, huh?
Ah, a Hepburn admirer, huh?
Oh yeah. Also a Cary Grant and Howard Hawks admirer, but in a somewhat different way.
Cary Grant and Hawks I get. Hepburn, I don’t. Until the 1950s she seems more phony and mannered to me with each passing year. I always wish somehow Cary Grant could be dropped into the 1930 version of Holiday. I do think Hepburn’s good in The Philadelphia Story — she suits it.
