LA premiere of #TheWeddingBanquet

#TheWeddingBanquet is out today! I got to attend the premiere and congratulate Andrew Ahn on a fun and meaningful remake of the Ang Lee classic.

RIP Patrick Adiarte, who first awed me with his dancing in "Flower Drum Song"--a talented actor who played every ethnicity but Filipino. I told The New York Times that Hollywood still rarely represents Filipinx actors (think Dave Bautista) as Filipinx characters. nytimes.com/2025/04/25/art…

HARVARD WON THIS ROUND! Secretary of Education Linda McMahon wrote a letter to Harvard. The university responded by marking up the letter for spelling and punctuation mistakes- and then shared it on social media. Your thoughts?

Filipino Austrian singer JJ wins #Eurovision! Love seeing his mom cheering him on.

10 years! Tears watching the original cast reunite. #Hamilten

Go see “Torera” at Outside In Theatre, a new theatre cofounded by Tamlyn Tomita!

I got to preview "Good Fortune" and it surprisingly touches on workplace exploitation and unions. Keanu Reeves plays a naive and sweet-natured angel that reminds me of his character in Bill and Ted. Sandra Oh is a regal archangel.

A humorous article by a friend on how Trump ruined news (and democracy) for her but helped her spend more sexy time with her husband. huffpost.com/entry/donald-t…
