WHAT’S IN OUR QUEUE? ‘MY FAIR LADY’ AND MORE


David Yaffe-BellanyWriting from San Francisco

I’m a reporter covering the cryptocurrency industry from San Francisco. I love
art that challenges me, but I also spend a lot of time watching mediocre
rom-coms.

Here are five things I’ve enjoyed recently →

Movie: ‘My Fair Lady’

Some friends and I recently spent a rainy afternoon at our local AMC, watching a
big-screen revival of the musical “My Fair Lady.” We had a great time: The movie
looks spectacular, and the dialogue is peppered with some classic insults. I’ve
become particularly fond of the term “bilious pigeon.”


Book: ‘Mrs. Dalloway’

I read Virginia Woolf’s novel for the first time this summer and was completely
awe-struck. There’s really nothing quite like it: a book that takes place over a
single day and yet somehow captures the full sweep of human experience.


Theater: ‘Appropriate’

From the West Coast, it’s hard to keep up with the New York theater scene. But
on a recent trip I got to see this funny and incisive play about race and
family, starring Sarah Paulson and Corey Stoll.


Song: ‘Three Lions’

Unfortunately for my mental health, I follow the underachieving English national
soccer team. (I have my British father to thank for introducing me to that world
of pain.) Before England’s games this summer, I pumped myself up with the team’s
de facto anthem, “Three Lions,” a song that perfectly captures the hope and
suffering I associate with England fandom.


Movie: ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’

I love movie gangsters, especially when they speak in a kind of foul-mouthed
poetry. I saw this violent and hilarious film at the Metrograph during my last
trip to New York. Go watch it — you will learn some colorful new vocabulary.



Here are some more favorites:
