If I could have been a contestant on today's episode of Jeopardy!, no other eggheads would have stood a chance of winning.
Double Jeopardy was dedicated to my favorite filmmakers, the Coen Brothers. One category was named for them and included questions -- excuse me, answers -- about their lives and movies.
The other categories were named for five of their films: Fargo (answers about the North Dakota city), Miller's Crossing (answers about people named Miller), The Man Who Wasn't There (answers about compound words including the syllable "man"), The Ladykillers (answers about authors who kill off female characters) and Blood Simple (answers about that red liquid in our veins).
As if this episode wasn't already tailor-made for me to clean up, here was the $2,000 answer in the "Miller's Crossing" category: "He revolutionized comic books with Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Sin City."
Frankly, I could be putting a down payment on a house today if Alex Trebek had let me play.
