Need assistance translating Italian graffiti for art project
Ciao! I visited Italy for the first time this Summer and I loved every minute of it. I am a collage artist and I am working on a series inspired by different pictures I took while in Florence, and I really like the chaos of this pic I took of bathroom graffiti at the Galleria Accademia. I’m having a little trouble translating the quote.
From my limited knowledge I think it says: “Oh Paola, I cannot compare you to David because nothing is as perfect as you are.”
Is this a quote that people know in Italy? And is the speaker calling Paola perfect or the David?

John Travolta Miniseries
We need a miniseries on John Travolta’s one film filmography with his directorial debut Propeller One Night Coach. This 61 minute clearly self-financed adaptation of his also clearly self-financed children’s book Coach One Way Propeller: a Fable for All Ages is maybe more ga-ga than The Book of Henry. The plot is solely about a ten year old boy who likes planes and wishes his Mom would find love. There is literally no other plot. The entire movie is John Travolta just narrating the entire book.

Widow's Bay episode 4 skewers self-help books
I've been really enjoying AppleTV's new horror comedy series Widow's Bay, and the most recent episode may have some crossover appeal for IBCK listeners. The show follows the incompetent municipal staff on a creepy mysterious New England island (Think the cast of Parks and Rec stuck in Stephen King novel.)
In Episode 4 a social outcast townie starts reading a self-help party planning book that gets slowly more and more nefarious. It was a really fresh take on the "cursed tome" subgenre by combining it with the "one simple trick to success" of the self-help genre.
