I've noticed the pace of American casualties has slowed down. As a trade-off, Iraqi civilian deaths have accelerated precipitously at a rate of dozens per day. This correlation (when US casualties are down, Iraqi casualties go up) has been occurring so consistently that I've been assuming a causati...

This is perhaps the ultimate for true Oscar-completists: at 3:30 AM overnight tonight, TCM will be showing two Lon Chaney silents. The first -- 1928's Laugh, Clown, Laugh -- is one of the only five films ever nominated for the instantly obsolete Title Writing category. Maddeningly, at least in NY, ...

Reds was seen as the favorite in '81 because of its generally decent precursor run (DGA, WGA -- though not Globe best picture), but, as Dennis says, it was a serious box office letdown, and I thought it vulnerable all the way (though I'd thought On Golden Pond was the threat). I haven't seen Chario...

No, I thought the final reel was the LEAST successful, because... Woody reverts back to the commentary that he uses so often in his other films - this time in the form of two unbelievable if amusing conversations between the policemen - rather than cinematically dramatizing the events that transpir...
