Gibbons is a great piece of English lit, but even as a Classical historian, it really isn't accurate or reflects modern scholarship. I've got 3 versions of it but I've only read maybe half.

Start now or you'll REALLY regret when you have to jump on 7 seasons
While it really gets good in S3, I'd say just go all out and watch S1-8. Generally it's 11 or so hours per season (between 22 and 24 episodes) and that'll give you about 90 hours. Take 2-3 months and you'll never regret it. I grew up when the classic episodes were in syndication (95-02) and I recently bought/watched 4…
I hate every chimp I see
From ChimpanA to Chimpanzee…
My only problem is that homophobia/gay panic jokes are a well that Archer has drawn from almost too regularly. When you have Ray on the show to basically act as a foil for gay panic jokes, an entire episode centered around it doesn't really work, at least not for me. I suppose part of that's because I enjoy the…
Got to imagine that means 14 students at that college, not in his class. I mean this shows version of the FBI can't be THAT incompetent. Bacon even says he had no evidence. 14 murders all linked to the same damn Prof would give him at least some heavy circumstantial evidence for christsakes
Bacon slept with Purefoy's wife before he caught him. Remember the scene when Bacon is investigating the murders at first and Purefoy's wife tips him off to the Poe angle, mentions she's married and asks if he was flirting with her? Shortly before that in the episode (tho not chronologically) we see Purefoy come home…
Well… I liked it, I'll give it a while longer but damn every single twist was telegraphed. I was not surprised by the gay neighbors, babysitters, or Bacon porking Purefoy's ex-wife. Also, clearly the boy stolen is actually Bacon's not Purefoy's. Was that not entirely obvious to everyone else?
Honestly dude. You didn't have a bad feeling about the gay neighbors?
SPOILERS FOR SEASON 4 GOT
And Branson always looks like Samwise to me. Waiting for the inevitable, "Sybil, where are the taters? P-O-T-A-T-O-E-S. Cook 'em, Mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew!"
What do people actually delete their emails?
Rabin, I didn't know you liked to get wet
The Hawks?
"And then it turns out that they actually had this information anyway, just hadn't prioritized it in the way to get it to the right people's hands. And the best, most-reliable information they get is from straight-up bribery."
Did you watch the movie?
Wages>Diabolique though in my opinion. I felt like Diabolique dragged some, though the ending is brilliant. Wages is a very very tense roller coaster.
Wages of Fear was my 1st Criterion, it is amazing. I'm up over 30 now. Out of mine I'd recommend Battle of Algiers, Carlos, and Kiss Me Deadly (though the only one I've got that I don't absolutely adore is Bergman's The Magician) Its really hard to go wrong.
This is one movie that I think Criterion should take a hard look at remastering for Blu/DVD. It's hard to find a definitive version of the film and even though its public domain, a Criterion version would give that air of official release. Plus with the Zombie craze it'd be a guaranteed money maker, especially on Blu
See 7th Seal was my first Bergman and I was entranced, it is truly an amazing movie. I think part of the reason I like it is that I find the conceit of playing with death inherently interesting.
