- What do Arnold M. Picker, Alexander E. Barkan, and Ed Guthman have in common? And also who the heck are they? They're all people who appear on a list that's now more famous than most of its entries: Nixon's list of enemies compiled by chief counsel Charles Colson. The operative word is "most," because debuting at number #19, and still better known than the list on which he appears, is one Paul Newman.
- He passed away this week, you know. Many good remembrances have been written. Here's just one, from David Edelstein at New York Magazine.
- We thought of The Hudsucker Proxy, which may not be his best film, but it features one of our favorite of his performances. That gravelly voice almost sounds like Keenan Wynn's.

About
Daily Plastic is a Chicago-based movie blog, a collaboration between Robert Davis and J. Robert Parks, the same pair who brought you the wearable movie tote, the razor-thin pencil pocket, and that joke about aardvarks. If you know the whereabouts of the blue Pontiac Tempest that was towed from the Plastic Parking Lot on the evening of August 7th, 2008, or more importantly if you've recovered the red shoebox that was in its trunk, please contact us at your earliest convenience.
Davis was the chief film critic for the late, great Paste Magazine (which lives on now as a website) from 2005 through 2009, and he counts this interview with Claire Denis among his favorite moments. Every once in a while he pops up on Twitter. He's presently sipping puerh in Chicago, even at this hour. Meanwhile, Parks, whose work has appeared in TimeOut Chicago, The Hyde Park Herald, and Paste, is molding unsuspecting, college-aged minds in the aforementioned windy city. Media types are warned to stay clear of his semester-sized field of influence because of the distorting effects that are likely to develop.
