The two men like to talk; often the talk sparks a film. The director and actor first met backstage at a play in 1993 (“Sophistry, by Jon Marc Sherman,” says Linklater) and wound up ch...

3 d. ago Eating Thanksgiving dinner at dinnertime is ludicrous. Here’s why | Dave Schilling

Dining at 3pm allows for an ideal holiday schedule. Let’s retire the term ‘dinner’ from our Thanksgiving lexiconWithout question, my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. I relish the opportunity to appreciate all the wonderful things about life. I also love that it is simultaneously a holiday all about complaints, criticism and arguments.

Every year, someone in your life – a family member, friend, know-it-all writer – will tell you they have settled the eternal debate abou...
