Aug 8 12 2:33 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I remember her as the movie critic for TV Guide and would get really miffed when she panned some of my favorite movies. It seems two of her favorite words were "banal" and "schmaltz." With Judith Crist, Marvin Hamlisch, and all the other long-familiar personalities recently passing away, it's as though my childhood is crumbling like a house of cards.

Aug 9 12 5:13 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I seem to recall "nonsense" appearing frequently in her TV Guide reviews of horror/SF, which sure didn't endear her to me. Because of that, I remember being surprised when she gave a very positive review to Corman's FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER when it ran on the CBS Late Movie.
