She wants you to not do whatever she asks.

'Thou rascal beadle, hold thy bloody hand!
Why dost thou lash that whore? Strip thine own back;
Thou hotly lust'st to use her in that kind
For which thou whip'st her.'

Thanks, hadn't seen this, looks interesting. I'll try reading each article in the order it was published.

I would've, if I knew how to post links.

If The Dissolve is purely about movies … nah. Books, music, TV. Such breadth and depth here at the AV Club.

Does the TV company not throw some money at the employer to keep them sweet? In which case, it makes sense that they pick racists who'll soon get fired.

I'm wired up wrong for this sort of thing. While I'm normally gleefully misanthropic, incompetent art just depresses me, for some reason. Plan 9 From Outer Space left me reeling for days, so I'll avoid this.

I'm trying.

He was great as Davies in Pinter's The Caretaker.

Has The Monocled Mutineer been expunged from TV history for some reason I haven't been told about?

Keith Chegwin, as a child, played Fleance in Polanski's version of Macbeth. I don't know what I expect you to do with this information.

Can I petition you to drop The Rachel Papers in favour of Money? Amis' best work, hands down. As good as anyone's best work, in fact.

I'd love to know if the Princess Margaret stuff is autobiographical.

And Sharon Tate was two weeks from giving birth when she was murdered. It's probably a reference that should've been quietly dropped.

Fuck, sorry - turns out Live Forever isn't a John Harris thing after all. Still, it brought us back to Wibbling Rivalry, so nothing wasted.

That's the one. I'm pretty sure it's John Harris who does the interviews, and if there's any narration, that's him too. Don't quote me, though.

I was pleasantly surprised by Hannibal - not that it was good or anything, just that it wasn't as abysmal as I was expecting. Hannibal Rising, though … take it away, please, just take it away.
