Wait a minute, the love of PacMan's life lies bullet-riddled on the ground and he never bothers to "probe" her mind to confirm that she's actually dead. Wha tha huh?

I thought it was Pachinko.

Movie's fucking genius, though. imho

Grapes of Wrath is quite a slog (wasn't bored, but it's relentlessly depressing), but the final image of Rose of Sharon suckling that old man is forever seared in my brain. Almost worth the 40-page flood chapter.

Great call, Dr. Hfurrfrrr.

I second SibRivalry

You do see the corpse in Sunset Blvd., but Holden's being dead is not a plot point in the film

YES to Big Chill, Cook/Thief, Fight Club, Unforgiven, Shallow Grave, Very Bad Things, Rocky Horror (but prob not integral enough to the plot), ARNOLD!!!! (Yay, somebody else knows Arnold!)

It sounds most like 51 Birch St. to me.

Hitchcock also readjusted the composition of his films after the advent of movies on TV. His cameo in To Catch a Thief is obliterated in the cropped version, Cary Grant's comical double take makes no sense.

What would you call the Q?

Nice. You should trademark that.

Let's remember another reason to read a paper: as your eye glances across the page, and stops on something that looks interesting, you can read the first paragraph and decide if you want to continue. Having to click from one headline link to the next, you never have the serendipitous discovery of something you…

You're saying they only gave the illusion of looking like that? OK, now you're freaking me out.

It's hilarious how every female character, no matter how minor, is described in loving, glorious detail and all the men are just given names. The main character calls everyone "brother," male or female, and there's a conversation where it takes 3 pages before you find out who he's talking to.
But as I said, the ideas…

I think it's a good thing that you eventually forget the names of the all the episodes. That's the difference between a Trekkie and a Trekker. I'm going to take a guess and say Last of Eden?
(and gimme Spock in Nazi jail w/green whip marks any day!)

Ooooh, so close. It's "Triskelion." Google up if you don't want to jeopardize your cred! (And Kirk steps on the blue parts lots of times.)

Zooey was supposed to be smug and condescending to her, from his own self-hatred and lack of fulfilled potential. He was jealous of Franny for not having sold out (yet).

Vonnegut resonates most when read in one's twenties.

That's was a joke? Man, I feel sorry for your students.
