...five early Roger Corman cheapies), then sweet as Fred MacMurray's wife on My Three Sons. A cut-rate Barbara Stanwyck, she deserved better scripts than she got. In Edgar G. Ulmer's meat-B noir classic Detour (1945), Ann Savage, 87, invested her sharp features and scraping-chalk voice in, unquestionably, the harshest, most conniving bitch in movie history. More than 60 years later, Guy Maddin cast her as another harridan-hellion - his mother - in the recent "docu-fantasia" My Winnipeg...

...were unimpressed. First, it’s no surprise how dumb they are; their library only had a basketball court and a bunch of free weights. Then their dining hall only had chalk to eat, and they apparently make them eat at desks! (How do you eat like that?) These Yalies even stooped so low as to send some of their goons (presumably from New Haven Community College...or WAIT, isn’t that Yale?!) dressed in HUPD costumes to chase us down. As we ran off Yale’s campus, we saw the final mark of shame...

On display is a wide range of Asian fashion labels, along with bandbox-striped changing rooms and blackboard walls on which the trio chalk up monthly messages informed by their design backgrounds. "We like to be creative in everything we do," Chong says...
