"Two of those men are as dead as doornails."

I thought that was a little anachronistic.  I think of the advent of T-shirts with slogans or pictures as happening in the late-1970s.  I realize Megan wasn't wearing this T-shirt out and about, and was wearing it as a nightshirt; still, it struck me as something that wouldn't be commercially available in 1968.  I…

Just a reminder from the Office of Damned Lies that, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Inflation Calculator, $19,000 in 1968 was equal to $126, 957 in 2013.

I loved his confidence that he was a shoo-in for partner, it was only a matter of time.  Hah!  Right, Harry.  Complacency and overconfidence have never blown up in anyone's face at SCDP before!

Very 2001 of her…

I thought we'd seen Roger's daughter get really mad at him in the past.  I think there's lots of bad blood between them that happened before the series began, and with her grandson, she finally has leverage over her father, and can get some payback for whatever it is Roger did that pissed her off so badly.  She has a…

Do they have to be current?  Because, swooning over male leads in movies would, I think, begin and end with Marlon Brando in Streetcar Named Desire.

That's good to hear!

Me, too.  First Coen Bros. film I saw, and I definitely thought, "Hey, I'd like to see more from these guys!"

Finally got around to a viewing of Raising Arizona that the wife and I had been talking about doing ever since our son was born…2.5 years ago.  It was as hilarious as ever, and there were a couple of parts I had forgotten, so it was almost like laughing at them for the first time.  It was also crazy to see Nicholas…

So it was, @avclub-2b27806676f152808879a10a18ab8f55:disqus .  Legitimate fuck up on my part there.

See, I thought the ending at the Council of Vienna, where they returned the all-important European balance of power back to the status quo ante bellum was really amazing.  It was such a punch in the gut to realize that all the struggle, blood, and death of so many people we had witnessed across the sweeping span of…
