I wish to rip his haughty head from his snobby neck. Although I do agree with some of his choices. It's the "ranking" part that gets me. Oh and I would also like to behead Jodi Picoult for writing "By Any Other Name," which has idiots in bookclubs across the world claiming Shakespeare didn't in fact write the plays that he did. I am, as you can see, full of ire. LoveTerry

Terry,

I wish you'd stop this self-censorship and just share how you really feel.

Love,

I agree with Fields (inasmuch as the rankings are argued earnestly), but I also agree with Terry and Bruce that lists and rankings are idiotic. I've had a long standing beef with Sight and Sound about their "greatest films" list that comes out every ten years. Arguments for a completely different ordering of the plays could easily be made, with about as much legitimacy.

This seems to be intended just to piss everybody off.

Thanks for sharing....I think.

I agree with ALL of you all about this list! Sometimes, I just go ahead and click on the bait, even if I know better.

Hope you all had a good Star Wars day yesterday and are having a lovely Cinco de Mayo today and that you're all wallowing in a treasure bath of tax refund.
