First ‘Fences’ Screening Turns Into Love Fest for Denzel Washington Drama
If the reaction of the Screen Actors Guild members who filled nearly 700 seats for the first Los Angeles screening of Denzel Washington’s “Fences” on Saturday night is any indication, Washington, his cast and Paramount Pictures should soon be awash in rave reviews and shiny statuettes. Naturally it won’t be that easy, but the Saturday screening at the Regent Village Westwood theater was a triumphant bow for director-actor Washington’s adaptation of August Wilson’s family drama, which ran on the Broadway stage in 1987 with James Earl Jones and in a revival with Washington in 2010.

In Which I Scold My Friends and Colleagues
I teach in a law school capital defense clinic, in which we mandate that our students never, ever post anything related to the representation of their clients on Facebook or other social media platforms. I didn’t think this was a controversial position, as it tracks the ethics rules in virtually every state. But I see criminal defense lawyer friends of mine posting about their cases on Facebook all the time. They post about victories, defeats, their travel plans related to case work, the issues they are researching, and the personalities involved in their cases. Some of these posts seem like…

Yair Rosenberg, a senior writer for Tablet Magazine, tweeted that Melania had lifted the phrase “if you could dream it, you could become it” from an old interview with Donald’s second spouse, as both Mrs. Trumps misquoted a similar famous saying, he said, citing another Twitter user.
