Congrats on the website. I just left the first blog comment!

I assume the "Buy a book" button will work when the novels are available on Amazon.

Damn! I should have gotten #1. The 1945 movie version is one of my favorites. And I read #6, so should've gotten that one, too. Your best stumper so far, J.P.

Thanks, JP - big help. The Fight Club  Chuck Palahniuk  Tyler Durden

5. The Prestige  Christopher Priest  Robert Angier, Alfred Borden

Congrats, "Simon." Is this your first fiction to be published?

I've noted that too, Norm.

In your intro, you said book OR movie, so Rope still wins!

There was a Tommy Cole in the MMC, but I don't know of a Tommy Noonan in the club. Growing up, I always kinda envied the nerdy Tommy Noonan who somehow got involved with those blonde bombshells in movies. What a guy!

Thanks for the quiz, JP. Another distraction that kept me away from my WIP!

I don't see a huge problem here. You review, expecting feedback; when you don't get it, you move on and forget about that author. No big deal. Coercion is not the answer, in my view.

Definitely #!. When you combine such phrases, the "normal" comma rules don't apply, IMO. Commas create speed bumps and, when this is not the desired effect, should be uses sparingly.

!. Psycho  Norman Bates  Anthony Perkins
2. Night of the Hunter  Reverend Harry Powell  Robert Mitchum
3. Death Wish  Paul Kersey  Charles Bronson
4. Rope  Brandon Shaw & Philip Morgan  John Dall & Farley Granger
5. No country for Old Men  Anton Chigurth  Javier Bardem
7. American Psycho  Patrick Bateman  Christian Bale
9. Manhunter (from the book, The Red Dragon)  Francis Dolarhyde  Thomas Noonan

Well, he'd be charged with murder, of course. The degree would depend on his confession, the backstory gleaned by the detectives, the prominence of the victim, as well as the political aspirations of the DA. I'm not a lawyer, and I don't play one on TV, but I've seen a lot of legal thrillers, if that counts.
