I Went and Got a Manicure and Forgot to Vote: If Nora Ephron Wrote The Ides of March

The Ides of March: proof that political sex scandals are boring, movies about political sex scandals are boring, and political movies about sex scandals with hardly any actual sex in them are the most boring of all. Had Nora taken the narrative reigns as God intended, we suspect:

  • As the Cloonster’s trusty sidekick, Gos dispenses helpful political advice gleaned from The Godfather 
  • A preternaturally charming Evan Rachel Wood woos her various romantic partners via extremely convincing fake orgasms
  • Marisa Tomei writes for the New York Observer; is oddly fixated on her collection of antique typewriters
  • Rather than a dark, seedy sports bar, Gos and Paul Giamatti have their secret meeting at the top of the Empire State Building on Valentine’s Day
