Nightmare Alley? I can't imagine wanting to see a remake of a movie that was so well executed the first time around. The dread and terror in the original could not be re-bottled. And Power gave some of his best.

ZODIAC MOTHERFUCKER.
To be fair he wasn't unwelcome but invited.
When's the last sighting of ZMF on these pages, anyway?

Great to see The Best Show and call screener Guillaume back on these pages. Great to have you back, Tom! Sorry to hear about your father; condolences.

I've taken Claridryl. This representation was fairly accurate but needed more masturbation with failure to climax.

I really enjoy Rope and can watch it repeatedly with little loss of interest. The performances are excellent, even in their excesses. It just works for me.

Devo, Beautiful World, as soundtrack to Target's monochrome presentation of itself and soap, toilet paper, mouthwash, etc. Oh, wait, huh.

There was this song playin on the radio when we were driving to the dump two Thanksgiving's ago, two years ago on Thanksgiving, only to arrive and find a sign sayin "this dump is closed on Thanksgiving," and instead of bringing that garbage up we decided to throw our garbage down, and my brother put an envelop under…

This made a very sweet 'couple's song' at weddings during the late 90s early 00s. I like her voice tremendously. Of co

This is one of that era's on-screen couples that never won me over. Won me over is the wrong phrase, actually, because I approached them fully expecting to take pleasure in their work. But it's mainly Tracy, who I never warmed to. And the more I learned about their off screen relationship the less I felt moved to try…

I see. Can't control for how you'll be read and all that… I guess I was cuing on (narrative) framing and emphasis. But I did like how you identified and described the phenomenon; has "Shouts & Murmurs" potential (I mean that as a compliment). Thanks for the reply; enjoy your column!

"To be fair… how far it is for a first down." Yes. This distance has huge consequences; it determines how each team will line up for the next play.

The original version was 19 minutes longer. Corporate made them cut it down; claimed it'd be too expensive to run during Super Bowl. It's their The Magnificent Totinosons, alas.

"I didn't do it."

Soundtrack by Peter, Paul & Mary.

She got married?

Please, get rid of the "who could you take in a fight" question. What is the ideal answer this feature is hoping for? What is it supposed to illuminate? It's lame and out of place.

I'm afraid expulsion is the only answer.
