In addition to all of my assigned texts, I'm playing catch-up to Stieg Larrson's Millennium Trilogy. I'm on about 1/4 of the way into Hornet's Nest.

I was going to mention Fever Pitch, but someone beat me to it.

Through this post I've discovered Hugs'N'Kisses. So thank you for that. I'm really enjoying it.

I remember when I first starting to really read about film criticism and what Ebert said about it really stuck with me. He said that the film should be judged on what it sets out to do, not how it compares with other movies (this is how I won an argument with a co-worker at Hollywood Video 14 years ago; claiming…

Speaking of a Simpson's reference: Did anyone else think the Duke bidder was just being a jerk (being from Duke)  and driving up the price. In my mind I pictured a blue-clad Mr. Smithers telling him that the KU bidder actually paid 2.8 billion for the rules and the Duke bidder rubbing his hands saying "excellent".

I think of the '20s less 'care-free' and 'youth filled' and more like the entire country was trying to self-medicate the horrors of WWI through jazz, flappers, and bathtub gin. Although I don't think that hinders the main theme of the article.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who feels this way. The script is what really sunk the movie. If the two Mantan Show scenes were actually funny, the entire theme of the movie would have hit home hard.
