Good grading—
I've seen one critic call Beyond a Reasonable Doubt Fritz Lang's best American movie— what a bunch of garbage. It's stodgy and literal.

Better songs:

Ah. That makes sense.

The Archies were lame, but impeccable.

Are you seriously slamming the Coasters' "Yakkety Yak"?

You put the Lancelot Link photograph, and it's not even one of the shows you're covering?!?

DAYBREAK EXPRESS—
is one of the greatest short films ever.

8:1 is near the absolute low end of what vermouth should be.

In Guys and Dolls, Joseph L. Mankiewicz is a shadow of his former glory (he peaked with A Letter to Three Wives, and House of Strangers— both incredible films.) His natural strength is a loose, easy maximalism— his best movies bristle with action on the margins of every shot.

I may be the only person…
who is constantly bothered by the quality of the artwork produced for the show.

I'm reading Book of Daniel now; I've read Ragtime before.

Its working title was, after all, "The American."

- Have you seen Blade Runner?

The artists pages don't allow comments.

Whose idea was it, though, to add a laugh track for the Serafinowicz Christmas Special? Good lord, it ruined every damned joke.

What Primo Scala lacks in rockingness, he makes up for in volume:

This was a wasted chance….
…to pull out the big ol' superimposed "NO".

The linear algebra pun goes unacknowledged…

I could come up with Schur compliments all day.
