I’ve been a fan of Mamet for a long time.
His writing is Shakespearean. I thought that Atlas Shrugged would have benefited by having him do the screenplay. (Maybe he’s ready now?)
House of Games is a wonderful film.
This feels like the Michael Crichton essay on environmentalism as a religion:

We enjoyed seeing Mamet’s latest work on Broadway (first night of previews - Patrick Stewart in “A Life in the Theater” - fun from the front row center, closed in a few weeks).
It’s a joy to see people growing up, one by one!
I think my Crichton link may be bad. His speech has ALMOST fallen down the memory hole.
Here’s a better link:

Great play – I caught it in the West End (with Joshua Jackson).
