Reheat your pizza in a skillet.

Another in that vein is Down With Love, a pastiche of early ’60s Doris Day-Rock Hudson sex comedies.

So true. There was a period during the ’80s when the film industry thought a big synth was adequate replacement for a real orchestra. It was a dark time.

No, it was Willie DeVille.

Five-Star Final with Edward G. Robinson and Boris Karloff!

No, dear. I'm sure it's quite good, but HGF is a singular experience.

Better to take the Slauson cutoff.

The Arizona scene in De-Lovely was filmed in a quarry outside London. The cacti in the hills were plywood cutouts.

If you have cable, they're available OnDemand for the next three weeks or so.

For me, that's actually true. I live with my stepdad, and it's the one show we both like. He usually channel-surfs among hot rod and pawn/storage reality shows at a stunning clip, which drives me to distraction.

You're so cute. There are no more copy editors. They all work at Home Depot now.

Me, too! And we were too poor to afford a color TV!

Yeah, Sinatra was pretty good, but always a little wooden. Martin was just a natural. And like you said (sorta): incredibly charismatic.

It's worth looking out for. Page and Hiller were rightly celebrated actors, but Martin never seems to get his due. He's great in this, full of bravado, but slightly sweaty. If you've seen Some Came Running, this won't be a surprise.

Lynne's hair wasn't ever permed. I have stuff he did in the late ’60s, and he already had that glorious mop.

Laaaame! The connections are feeble at best. There were lots of women editors, even back in the Golden Age. Most directors, not just LeRoy, worked in different genres, and there were so many sword-and-sandal pics, they must have used a dart board or something.

I lived in Tennessee for 30 years, and I never could stomach sweet tea. It's one of the few Southern delicacies I didn't take to.

It really did change radio and the music industry. Suddenly The Clash was getting played on AOR stations.

I remember when Dan Quayle tried to use the UNCF "A mind is a terrible thing to waste," but he botched it and wound up saying something like, "What a tragedy it is to lose one's mind."

White Heat is amazing, and I really like One, Two, Three.
