  A Gang of Four ref­er­ence? for moi? I am honored indeed. And “weepy old Bolshy” cracked me.

  “cracked me UP.”
  I’m a bit giddy tonight.

  Lemenick, the crass hit-a-sick-legendary-pulitzer-prize-winning-film-critic-with-a-binder hack? Say it ain’t so Turner!

  Are you going to present any these films, Siren? I guess not, or it would have said so. That would be pretty sweet. Then you could tell every­one watch­ing how much Bill hates Commies. It’s time the world knew, after all.
  Anyway, con­grat­u­la­tions. This is very, very cool, and well deserved.

  One of Hollywood’s strangest epics, MISSION TO MOSCOW has fas­cin­ated me since I saw it back in the 1970s. And the ree­m­er­gence from limbo of McCarey’s MY SON, JOHN is prac­tic­ally an cinema event in itself. This com­ing themed series is indeed cool – full kudos to the Siren and Lou Lumenick!

  This Red Diaper Baby – the series will hap­pily coin­cide with what would have been my Commie dad’s 100^th birth­day – salutes you Glenn. And for mak­ing me aware of the whip-smart Siren’s exist­ence in the first place.

  Wow! Hell of a list. Time for me to get TCM! And, of course, Siren, congratulations!

  My inner Nabokovite can­’t help noti­cing that Farran Nehme is a hom­onym for “for­eign name.” O Siren, is this just one more veil you’re teas­ing us with? But I can­’t wait for “Shadows of Russia“all the same.
