NO SOPRAN - I'm kidding. It is what it is. As I believe Dorian himself once said, more interesting lists are those that focus on outliers. Nonetheless. the absence of Dark is unforgiveable.

Some weird reactions to this list (not Duncan's). It's not AI. It's not ragebait. It's not rigged. The NYT polled 100s of people in TV and tallied the votes. Same methodology as Guardian's 100 novels list. Whatever you think of the results the process couldn't be more straightforward and transparent

I'd like to read a book about musical Imperial Phases, why they happen and why they stop. Think it would offer interesting insight into the artistic process and the outside cultural forces that affect it. Does it exist? Maybe I'll write it, but I know it'd be done better by some of you here

Don't think I have a more conflicted relationship with a director as I do with Lynch. I fluctuate between so many opinions of him, positive and negative. No one I trust dislikes him, yet so many are unquestioning in that admiration. Fascinating (to me, anyway!)

David Lynch: "Intuition is thought and feeling together. The language of film is so perfect for this intuiting, it’s just beautiful. You have what they call an ‘inner-knowing’. Right after seeing a film, you realize you know more than you can speak.” gointothestory.blcklst.com/screenwritin...

When I pitched my TV series about the managers of the Beatles, Stones and Who to TV commissioners, I told them we never see the bands themselves, because it's always cheesy. They laughed. Well, they're not laughing now! (Because it was 10 years ago and they wouldn't remember)

Idle thought watching Shards ep 3 (mild spoiler). Are we not all now so familiar with the "they're not in the same house" misdirection trope popularised by (I believe) Silence of the Lambs, that it should be excised from all thrillers? And Shards milked it for ages. Seems totally redundant now
