Lorenzo Semple, Jr. on creating TV’s Batman.

Behold the glory that is Road House.

The six (plus) mistakes even best-selling novelists make, from Joseph Finder with an assist by David J. Montgomery.

Here’s your early Bastille Day DVR reminder: TCM will be showing the Anthony Mann French Revolution-as-noir drama Reign of Terror, aka The Black Book, on Monday at 1:45 PM Eastern.

If you’re feeling particularly perverse, TCM will also be re-airing Otto Preminger’s infamous Skidoo at 2AM Eastern tonight. (I know that’s technically tomorrow, but bear with me.) The screening earlier this year, which I watched, must have paid dividends. TCM will also be repeating The Love-Ins again right after it. It’s as bad as I said it is.

Skidoo, as my friend Mike pointed out, features the Riddler, the Joker and the Penguin from TV’s Batman. Which was created by Lorenzo Semple, Jr. Thus is the circle made complete.

Just goes to teach me that I need to check Vince Keenan every damn day. I skip reading it Friday and Saturday, and those rat bastards at TCM air SKIDOO again! Damn, Damn, DAMN!

And SKIDOO was directed by none other than Mr. Freeze!
