Sitting at the Feet of a Film Analyst (part 1)
When I go over to my good friend Doug Welch’s house, I’m always astounded that his entire DVD library (and it is quite massive) is organized by his flickchart rankings.

Once upon a time, I read that the perfect age for writing quality poetry is twenty-three. Apparently most of T.S. Elliot’s stuff came out then, the rest having to do with prose.
