@_michaelbarron @nyrbclassics I’m doing it!

[JopperDan @DanJopper]

@CatholiCinephil I give Pretty Women the nudge over Johanna because of how it elevates, and is elevated by, the context of the scene, and illuminates the evil of the characters amid the extraordinary tension of Todd running a razor across JT’s face…

Genius!

But I won’t argue with Feed Me.

[JopperDan @DanJopper]

@CatholiCinephil Pretty Women should probably win the whole thing. I hope it turns around.

[JopperDan @DanJopper]

@CatholiCinephil Want to go on record that I strongly disagree with both of these results.

[JopperDan @DanJopper]

@CatholiCinephil Is Macavity a villain? I never thought of him that way. Although there is the whole “monster of depravity” thing…

[JopperDan @DanJopper]

@Komaniecki_R I can’t believe I’m dipping a toe into the recent “discourse” because I feel almost everyone has come across awfully but doesn’t this prove @ethanhein’s point?

@ACNewman Dayton, Ohio - 1903

[JopperDan @DanJopper]

@DrDavidVernon An extremely powerful and unsettling novel!

[JopperDan @DanJopper]

@MusicOfLee Obviously this is a perennial debate, but it seemed to bubble up into a more public discussion with numerous articles weighing in back in 2000.

[JopperDan @DanJopper]

@MusicOfLee There was a lively public debate around this back in 2000 and Maury Yeston weighed in via this article.

The main argument was that what historically distinguishes them is less about formal differences and more about how much control the composer has.

@CatholiCinephil What about Now/Later/Soon?

[JopperDan @DanJopper]

@NickStarrMusic It’s a byproduct of all the Oreos they eat.

[JopperDan @DanJopper]

@CatholiCinephil I love Look Down and all, but this shouldn’t even be close.

[JopperDan @DanJopper]

@CatholiCinephil I’ve never read any du Maurier. I’ll have to check that one out.
