My personal definition of "Horror" is really broad, so I'm the wrong one to ask :)

Les Revenants

I used to play the all-Buckingham version with my vinyl copy back in the 80s. It's such a great album it was worth standing next to the turntable to make it happen :)

I've read Pale Fire a few times and Lolita a couple of times. I don't think Pale Fire is particularly difficult to read or to follow the story line. Even the first couple of layers of meaning aren't that hard to pick apart. It's just that the layers of indirection keep multiplying the closer you look, so that…

Maybe they should have called themselves Joyce Division. No, probably not.

I started reading comics in grad school just as the original Crisis began. So I'm just over 50. I took a 15-20 year break (having children takes a *lot* of time and disposable cash out of your life…) but a couple years ago I got sucked back in in a big way, so, things can change and then change again.

Agreed!

If you haven't listened to Metamodern Sounds in Country Music yet you're only hurting yourself.

Yes! Azzarello and Chiang's WW was great.

I like them both, but you're right, they're almost totally unlike each other.

And Henry IV

Perfect!

Favorite Weird Al artist parody: "CNR". Perfect White Stripes impersonation with lyrics consisting of Chuck Norris jokes with s/Chuck Norris/Charles Nelson Reilly/g applied.

Isn't this just more Bert Cooper is the Devil imagery. Actually there were all sorts of devils this episode, including Don's "I know your name" schtick (Hope you guessed my name…)

Yes! Barney Miller pioneered a lot of the things that worked so well on HSB:
- the way they used a large(ish) ensemble cast where the "lead character" is only nominally such.
- the detailed character work.
- the believably messy station house set that almost becomes a character in itself

True, but Donal Logue would be acceptable. They could play up the private detective angle. Maybe give him a younger partner. And then cancel it after one season. Damn it. Sniff.

It's a great in-joke when Ryan O'Neil, in What's Up Doc, actually does say "Judy, Judy, Judy".

While the studio meddling with the ending in Suspicion is "obvious", try watching it pretending you don't know that. It becomes a *more* Hitchcockian movie, in a way:

Fontaine's character has just cooked up this whole murder plot out of sexual hysteria.

It just seemed like a nice American Cancer Society/World Cancer Day PSA sponsored by Chevy. Sort of like the NFL's United Way ads. Obviously, it didn't come across that way to a lot of viewers. Which seems odd to me.

Beats me
