TCM reran an hour-long tribute to him a few weeks ago. It was a classy thing for them to do for a classy guy.

Since Uncle Joe co-wrote my favorite movie, I give Ben a pass. But he was way over the top with his Eve story.

It's the standard liberal vs. libertarian confusion. Liberals say, "We shouldn't tell them what to believe," and libertarians say, "You can't tell me what to believe."

Ah, the good old days when presidents could joke about starting wars for false reasons: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I'm a Hitchcock fan, but I always trip over his one word titles and the titles of films that tried to copy Hitchcock: Suspicion, Notorious, Spellbound, Mirage.

My mother and I were watching Test Pilot last weekend, and she said, "When I was a young girl in Holland, I thought guys like Clark Gable were appealing. Now I want absolutely nothing to do with them."

Like last night's speech - everyone's so happy he didn't say "kill the Muslims and Mexicans." Expectations couldn't be lower.

YES! Especially with old reheated coffee. It drives me nuts that people pick on my favorite image in the song.

If this is the same kid that was on the Golden Globes, 1) he was lifted before, and 2) he looks like he's grown.

I'm training my family to turn off news and turn on TCM. This morning they showed Test Pilot, a flick I never bothered with before but a real rambunctious cavalcade of action!!!

Great movie, one of my big favorites. Just last week I wrote on AVClub that I wanted to slug Scotty.

The first season of Cheers is impeccable. The show unraveled a bit over time - Diane became whiny, and Carla's meanness went into overdrive. Rebecca's arrival gave the show a good jolt. There always were periodic great shows - Woody's wedding, Frasier and Lilith playing footsie on TV, Sam fighting the bottle, Coach…

Option one: write "100 Movie Challenge entry #18…" Option two: copy and paste.

Wait, let me guess - the guy complaining about focus group coverage is Republican?

My first thought was The Seven Minutes, a fake book inside a real book.

For those who are planning to travel to the Netherlands, make sure you stop by the Mauritshuis in The Hague. You'll get to see bona fide Vermeers there, like Girl with a Pearl Earring. I like to think I can tell the difference between Vermeer and van Meegeren.

I like to buy art work when I'm vacation. Street art, nothing fancy, just some struggling artist stuff which decorates my home while serving as wonderful souvenirs.

I'm impressed, Mr. Greene. That first line captures the subject's manner quite well. On the other hand, the clause describing the color of the scarf is rather stilted, and the gavotte is a dance which is usually not used in the form of a verb.

Red Ropes, Above As Below, Who Killed the Moonlight, What Do You Know?, The Worst Hangover - the best songs are amazing. But the Beatles could sue her for plagiarism for "Cool People," and Sin Song doesn't do anything for me.

I was ashamed of how often I played Nicole Atkins' "Neptune City" a few years back - probably to make up for the thousands of people who didn't know it existed. In my defense, I only played it in my car.
