![]() On Friday, Cuoco’s wish was granted: HBO Max renewed The Flight Attendant for a season two. But when I look at it, the finale, if we don’t get a second season, then it's like, ‘Yeah, it was a limited series.’ And if we do, then we were like, ‘Yeah, we were meant to have a second season all along.’ I think we played it right. “We’re definitely having conversations about what a second season would look,” star and executive producer Kaley Cuoco told Vanity Fair’s Little Gold Men podcast this week before the debut of the show’s finale. It concluded this week with a finale that left open a number of possibilities for more episodes. The fledgling platform’s buzzy limited series has generated strong reviews and a seemingly devoted fanbase online (like other properties, HBO Max does not release viewership data). ![]() ![]() Christopher Nolan might consider HBO Max the “worst streaming service,” but maybe that’s because he hasn’t yet watched The Flight Attendant. ![]()

I would like to hope that the way I shoot is similar that it looks like we’re straightforwardly showing you things, and telling you the story, and documenting in a way that people are doing what characters are doing. It doesn’t announce itself as fancy writing, and yet the effect of it is this pared back, insightful prose. It’s kind of low key and it hides its methods. I love her writing, and it resonates with me in terms of how I like to go about making films and shooting stuff. It represents all these fabulous and important changes that have happened culturally here in the last 30 years. And as somebody really interested in the culture where I grew up and where I live, just seeing it through the eyes of this young artist like Sally, who has such an understanding of her generation was just fascinating to me. I loved it for all sorts of reasons, it connects to me in various ways. ![]() ![]() Lenny Abrahamson: The history of where it came from is relevant in this case, because I read “Conversations with Friends” around the time it came out.

Tim Weiner’s past work on the CIA and American intelligence was hailed as “impressively reported” and “immensely entertaining” in The New York Times. It takes the CIA from its creation after World War II, through its battles in the cold war and the war on terror, to its near-collapse after September 11th, 2001. LEGACY OF ASHES is based on more than 50,000 documents, primarily from the archives of the CIA itself, and hundreds of interviews with CIA veterans, including ten Directors of Central Intelligence. Now Pulitzer Prize–winning author Tim Weiner offers the first definitive history of the CIA-and everything is on the record. ![]() ![]() Its failures have handed us, in the words of President Eisenhower, “a legacy of ashes.” When it did not succeed, it set out to change the world.

Indeed, in the 1960s Mason was often considered to be the preeminent judicial biographer in the country. ![]() He is best known, however, for his pioneering studies in judicial biography. ![]() He published twenty-two books in addition to a vast number of articles. American Constitutional Law (Mason and Beaney 1954) was the textbook in my first constitutional law course.1 Then, as a graduate student at the University of California, Santa Barbara a few years later, I read Free Government in the Making (1949) in Gordon Baker's course in American political thought.2 A number of years passed before I realized that those two books represented only a small portion of Mason's work. I first encountered Alpheus Thomas Mason's work when I was an undergraduate in the early 1970s. ![]() ![]() Another part of the book I enjoyed is the story notes by the author. This one devastated me, not just as a father but as a horror fan. ![]() ![]() Here, Hawk penned a story where a father encounters a sinister creature that takes the form of his son and begins to haunt his everyday life until madness ensues. It is a little lengthier than the other tales in the collection and by far the scariest. My favorite story in the book is called "Imitate". It is the perfect start to the collection because it gives readers a clear indication of what to expect: dread-inducing terror.

As the collection has survived till this day in Leipzig University Library, the book provides a critical edition of the 1710 selling catalogue, which includes a brief content analysis of all extant manuscripts.

This book presents the story of a unique collection of 140 manuscripts of 'learned magic' that was sold for a fantastic sum within the clandestine channels of the German book trade in the early eighteenth century. ![]() |
