In Manhattan\u2019s desert twilight, in the death of afternoon,<\/strong><\/em>
We walked hand-in-hand down Blogwatch, like the first men on the moon\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

My eternal Saint Patrick\u2019s Day post<\/a><\/strong>. A lot of people think the obvious American wannabe-ness, the green beer and all that, somehow make St Patrick\u2019s Day less awesome. I don\u2019t; why shouldn\u2019t<\/em> there be a holiday that\u2019s really about America and immigration, even if it pretends to be about Ireland?<\/p>\n

Amy Welborn<\/strong>: The Pope speaks with kids in a juvenile detention center.<\/a> And why The Merchant of Venice<\/em> is just unplayable now<\/a>. (The Pacino version was about as good as I think you can get, really, and it was painful.)<\/p>\n

Horror Roundtable<\/strong>: The best horror-movie soundtracks<\/a>. My votes go to, probably in this order, Suspiria<\/a><\/em>; Can of Worms Wide Shut<\/a><\/em>; and La Chute de la Maison d\u2019Usher<\/em>. Via Sean Collins<\/a>. (I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d count Vertigo<\/a><\/em> as a horror movie\u2013although I\u2019m not sure I wouldn\u2019t\u2013which is why it doesn\u2019t appear here.)<\/p>\n

And I haven\u2019t yet read this First Things<\/strong><\/em> piece about Stephen King<\/a>. But Pet Sematary<\/em> and The Shining<\/em> are among the most powerful novels I\u2019ve ever read. The Dead Zone<\/em>, Cujo<\/em>, Christine<\/em>, and even Misery<\/em> have some pretty amazing moments. (Don\u2019t talk to me about IT<\/em>.) Here\u2013Stephen King and Dorothy Day, together at last!<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
