We are living in the golden age of comedy murder mysteries with an ensemble cast . Particularly the Knives Out cinematic universe and the HBO series, The White Lotus . It seems like everyone wants these movies and shows (respectively) to go on forever with an ever-rotating cast of characters, keeping Daniel Craig and Jennifer Coolidge employed forever. I definitely have some opinions about who I'd like to stay at a White Lotus location next. My list includes, but is not limited to, Patti Harris…

Once a year, or perhaps even more than once, I get the urge. It's an ache, really. A yearning for a place I have not been, and the camaraderie of men I have never really known. Men whose bravery would put most people's heroes to shame. Men that, if you can believe it, after they hooked up with I Company, came back. No, I'm not talking about the Fellowship of the Ring.
