okay but there is nothing as brutally honest and unapologetically heartbreaking as "Closer" by Patrick Marber: "I love everything about you that hurts" , "Have you ever seen a human heart? It looks like a fist covered in blood!" , "I think you owe me something for deceiving me so exquisitely" , "What's so great about the truth? Try lying for a change, it's the currency of the world" , -"You ruined my life" -"You'll get over it".
PURE. DEVASTATING. MASTERPIECE

"The Critic"
The film is slowed down by a darker, more lurid focus to its storytelling rather than one with any sort of sophisticated narrative or character development.
Based on Anthony Quinn’s novel “Curtain Call,” director Anand Tucker’s “The Critic” fully embraces the darker aspects of the story. This tale of deception and murder in pre-World War II London makes for an engaging story, but the film is draggy and feels too slow despite excellent work from the talented cast.
Deceit, manipulation, blackmail: it’s all in a day’s work for Jimmy Erskine (Ian…

There is this really good, really creepy, short film that David Tennant cameos in at the end called 'Old Street' and it works mainly because the creators are privy to a very underrated piece of knowledge; the Caribbean accent can be very eerie when it wants to be.

The Broadway Review: Tom Stoppard’s Leopoldstadt
By Ross
The ending awaits, intuitively known from the moment we see the family tree projected and the Christmas tree decorated. Even in its complexity, we know how this will all turn out. Ultimately. Tom Stoppard’s epic and masterful new play,…

LARRY: You should write another one.
DAN: Haven’t got a subject.
LARRY: [...] Don’t tell me you haven’t got a subject, every human life is a million stories. Thank God life ends - we’d never survive it. From Big Bang to weary shag, the history of the world. Our flesh is ferocious ... our body will kill us ... our bones outlive us.

This Week in Canon:
Welcome to This Week in Canon, where we revisit moments in The West Wing that occurred on these dates during the show’s run.
Season 3, Episode 15: Dead Irish Writers aired on March 6, 2002.
Season 6, Episode 18: La Palabra aired on March 9, 2005.
Editor’s Choice:
This week, to celebrate the anniversary of Dead Irish Writers, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite fics set during or directly after the episode.
i like shiny things (but i'd marry you with paper rings) by JessBakesCakes | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | In the aftermath of the First Lady's birthday party, Josh, Donna, and the rest of the Senior Staff deal with the fallout of Donna's realization that she's no longer a U.S. Citizen. CJ, Sam, and Toby have taken it upon themselves to get this figured out, and it’s a good thing, because Josh’s brain can only present him with one solution: Marry Donna Moss.
(A Green Card Marriage AU set after Dead Irish Writers!)
after everything (i must confess) by hanyolo | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | “Do you hate me now I’m Canadian?” Donna asks, somewhat dramatically Josh thinks but that doesn’t mean he’s above teasing her.
“Absolutely. In fact, it would probably be for the best if you found yourself a new job.”
“I thought so,” she nods solemnly. “I guess I’ll need to update my resume.”
“No hard feelings,” he tells her, reaching for another slice of pizza. “And, hey — I’ll write you a perfectly adequate letter of recommendation.”
“That’s really all I can ask for.”
// post 3.15 josh and donna share a cab after the first lady’s birthday party, teasing and affection ensues
anywhere else is hollow by joshatella (shuuuliet) | Rated G | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | While panicking over her accidental honesty to Mrs. Bartlet, Donna inadvertently says something just as damagingly honest to Josh about his relationship with Amy.
Two missing scenes to 3x15: Dead Irish Writers.
Looking Back, Moving On (the Reality Check remix) by Sangerin | Rated M | Abbey Bartlet/C. J. Cregg | Complete | It's natural for CJ and Dr Bartlet to drift together after campaign functions, or so CJ tells herself.
something always brings me back to you by ktlsyrtis for Arcturus_Sinclair | Rated T | Abbey Bartlet/C. J. Cregg | Complete | “I’m just the first lady. A figurehead on the prow of my husband’s career.”
The bitterness in her voice cuts at CJ, and all the reasons why this is a terrible idea fall away.
“You’ll always be Abbey to me.”
Battered, But Not Diminished by MAHC [archived by westwingfanfictioncentral_archivist] | Rated E | Abbey Bartlet/Jed Bartlet | Complete | This is a post-ep for Dead Irish Writers, and gives a more in-depth view of the events during and after Abbey's birthday party. It also deals with how Jed and Abbey face her decision to relinquish her medical license.
Fics:
Presenting your weekly roundup of fics posted in the tag for The West Wing on Archive of Our Own. If you are so inclined, please be sure to leave the authors some love in the form of kudos or comments. Be mindful of posted warnings/tags for each story.
