Oh man, the Silver Screen piece is grebt, mark s! I didn't start reading until 83/84 (after the strike?) but with its Bilko/Barthes/Blimp/Brookie focus it was the section that spoke most clearly to me (particularly since it was far easier to track down the stuff under discussion than eg a Scraping Foetus 12"). Would much rather read an anthology of IP's TV stuff than his LRB elegies, and still aspire to be a member of the silver screen screwball comedy squad :/
