"Today's audiences might be familiar with the version of ALFIE starring Jude Law...."

Um, no.

I sent Bill the Don McLean story a little while ago too. Bummer.

Yeah, the chances of my watching the Jude Law version of ALFIE (not that I have anything against Jude Law; I don't) are less than one, actually.

The McLean mugshot is sad, and the whole thing is even sadder. But PH is always an upper.

I'm seeing a trend here:

First Paul Simon, then Donald Fagen, now Don McLean.

Back to the movies (I'm sure we'll all have more to say about the other issue)...

I saw 7 of those 10 movies in 1966. Unlike this year's Academy Award nominated movies, of which I have seen, let's see, exactly zero.
