Items of Mondayness
This week’s SRŪ, “Ribald for Your Pleasure,” is available for perusal. And what do you know, so is a new edition of Eric’s Time Capsule at Film.com, celebrating the 27th birthday of John Carpenter’s “The Thing.” This groundbreaking horror film spawned many sequels, including “The Item,” “The Stuff,” and “The What’s-It-Called.”
And hey, what do you also know, I forgot to pimp last week’s edition of Eric’s Ten-Year Itch at Film.com, which addressed Disney’s “Tarzan,” one of the first films I reviewed for the newspaper I worked at in those days, whatever it was called.
And hey, that’s it.
This week’s “Snide Remarks,” including the audio version, is here.
The audio version (i.e., the podcast) is also here.

I think your Ten-Year Itch column is interesting, because ten years seems to the length of time that offers the most embarrassing perspective. During each decade, the tastes and styles of the immediately preceding decade seem to be universally despised, while the trends of prior decades are simultaneously coming back in vogue.

I must say Eric has gone up a few notches in my estimation by saying that he thinks Beauty and Beast is one of his favorite movies of all time, as I also have a deep fondness for that movie. Also for saying that the Hunchback of Notre Dame is brilliant, another opinion that I am solidly in line with. I think that movie is under-appreciated, although probably because children aren’t going to really understand a lot of what makes it so brilliant, and too many adults won’t even give it a chance because it’s a musical Disney cartoon. Sad, really….
