What are the Katie-Bar-The-Door Awards?
Named for Katie-Bar-The-Door, the Katies are "alternate Oscars"—who should have been nominated, who should have won—but really they're just an excuse to write a history of the movies from the Silent Era to the present day.
To see a list of nominees and winners by decade, as well as links to my essays about them, click the highlighted links:
1888-1927
1927-1939
1940s
1950s
1960s
1970s
1980s
1990s
2000s
2010s
Remember: There are no wrong answers, only movies you haven't seen yet.
The Silent Oscars
And don't forget to check out the Silent Oscars—my year-by-year choices for best picture, director and all four acting categories for the pre-Oscar years, 1902-1927.
About Me
- Mythical Monkey
- Look at me—Joe College, with a touch of arthritis. Are my eyes really brown? Uh, no, they're green. Would we have the nerve to dive into the icy water and save a person from drowning? That's a key question. I, of course, can't swim, so I never have to face it. Say, haven't you anything better to do than to keep popping in here early every morning and asking a lot of fool questions?
What is a Mythical Monkey?
An infinite number of monkeys typing at an infinite number of typewriters for an infinite amount of time will eventually produce Shakespeare's Hamlet.
This is the blog of one such monkey.

A no-hitter's all well and good. But what about that song during the seventh-inning stretch? Was it really worth it to stay for the no-hitter, after sitting through that goddamned song?
["friends in low places," or some such drivel]
If you say it was worth it, study your reaction to the song:

On the contrary, I'd didn't think I'd look that happy about it.
LOATHE "Friends in Low Places." Loathe it. I'll bet you my old neighbor George Jones loathed it, too. Corporate country, as phony as a Hallmark greeting card, as authentic as a chicken McNugget.
You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time and you can apparently fool 60% of the crowd in Nats Park into eating unadulterated horse manure with the same gusto as a swarm of flies.
Look, you want a country song to celebrate drinking yourself into a coma? Try this one:

Now that's the real stuff.
off the subject, I think this would be a good song to introduce a closer as he runs in from the bullpen:
