Reminds me of grad school -- certain books had to be name-dropped as greatest and favorites so the person's cred would stay "intact." Yeah, sure, The Golden Bowl is your favorite novel. Right after Finnegan's Wake, no?<BR/>So, it's sometimes tiring to have to sit through such shows, the whole cottage industry of do-it-for-cheap two-hours-of-ad-selling clip shows that start with "AFI's most." I mean, Best Years of Our Lives? What a yawnfest, filled with textbook sentimentality, scene after scene. And Philadelphia Story? Really? "I promise to be less uppity, and more yaaaar feminine!"<BR/>Maltese Falcon . . . eh. It, along with Vertigo, aren't even the best examples of their type. What a phone-in.<BR/><BR/>GSPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
