I wonder if La Osborne is getting a little testy with the younguns taking over? In a promo mentioning what was to be on TCM tonight (aired the other night; just got around to my TiVo’s leavings), he described _Night of the Living Dead_–totally straight face–as “the best movie ever made in Pittsburgh.”

Eye ell oh elled.

It doesn’t even earn that title, anyway: “Dogma” does.
