What is absolutely amazing is listening to the latest episode of the Canon, which was recorded right before these tweets. And they were reviewing "A Face In the Crowd" - and Faraci talks about how nowadays, one could get off a plane to discover that he/she has been publicly shamed and that their life is over. I think his public apology is about as good as one can do with a mere tweet, although I don't think just tweeting about it is enough. Maybe I'm a Faraci apologist - I don't follow him on Twitter - but I've seen real growth in civility from him on the Canon podcast over the past year. And I have recognized that some of the traits of his that I find ugly, I also have been guilty of doing.

Rob Reiner was on fire in the 80s, but I can think of 3 or 4 of his movies from this era that belong in the Canon before we ever consider Stand By Me.

I showed this movie at my theater this past spring. I recall it being a classic. But nostalgia was the only thing propelling this most recent viewing. Way too flawed to be canon-worthy, even though I still enjoy the film.

I cannot get over Mickey Rooney's part in this film. But, if everyone else can - I won't bitch about it.

I'm looking forward to voting no on this. And I more often side with Devin than Amy. But I see Se7en much as Amy does: lots of set dressing on a fairly hollow film. It's like a industrial-metal Tim Burton movie - lots of style, little substance. Maybe if I liked the style more, I'd view this more favorably....but the best I can do is appreciate it.

This was best episode of all 111. I even felt compelled to register on earwolf in order to say that.
