The Inferno
Dante Alighieri
10 hours of "What if" is the literal definition of Hell as outlined by Dante's Inferno. What's needed is an hour and a half of "What IF", followed two hours of execution, lunch, and maybe an hour and a half more until "time of death"/End of the day. Gotta make decisions. https://t.co/RHwkjgg5nZ

Doctor Who: The Crimson Horror (Target Collection)
Mark Gatiss
@chriscurleyman Never. Love Dr. Who. Tom Baker was the Time Lord I grew up with. And I love what my friends Steven Mofatt and Mark Gatiss did with Doctor Who. I could never live up to that. Don't get me started on what they did w Sherlock, which is still my favorite adaptation of that character.

The Godfather
Mario Puzo
One of Mario Puzo's models for The Godfather, besides the actual Five Families of the Mob, was Joe Kennedy (who had deep Mob ties) and his sons. Michael Corleone is essentially the JFK of the fictional mob -- war hero who, despite the family business, is groomed for power.

Hip Hop
Aaron Carr
@mikeavila I could Carr staying with the Raiders, but if Russ moves, the ripple effects will go far and wide. Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers next moves will remake the NFL no different than the DOC's car accident reshaped West Coast hip-hop.
