Ackroyd had quite the career with weird, bad movies. Doctor Detroit, Neighbors, Spies Like Us.

all I have to say about East of Eden is that when I was growing up I had it confused with the Rosie O'Donnell / Dan Ackroyd sex comedy about buddy cops infiltrating a light BDSM island. I realized they were two different things about a year ago

Funnily enough just been reading a review of a book about movie flops in LRB. Goes into detail about events leading up to Dan Ackroyd's Nothing But Trouble and ends a tad superfluously with "Ackroyd never directed another movie". Doesn't mention the C word once.

I saw Dan Ackroyd as Jimmy Carter do this on SNL in the late 70s—“Inflation…is our friend.”

Update on my Read Every Christie in Order of Publication project … 10 books down … current view: Ackroyd is a work of genius, Blue Train not as awful as Agatha thought, Agatha could be exceptionally funny, I love Anne Beddingfeld, Bundle, & Tuppence. #Christie #AgathaChristie #Books #BookMarathon

10- The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
Ever since The Murder of Roger Ackroyd went into public domain (back in '22 in the US), I've been thinking about doing an interactive timeline viz of the novel—the narrative unfolds over a one week span, and pretty consistent in the passage of time. I think I might do that finally this weekend.

Last Orders won. Lemme see if I can recall the whole shortlist off the top of my head:
Ackroyd/Milton in America
Mackey/Orchard on Fire
Bainbridge/Every Man for Himself
I must be missing at least one.

The 2022 Folio Society edition had some pretty amazing illustrations by Andrew Davidson and I love that style for this book.

The funniest part of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, is that 'they' never admit to it. They spend the whole epilogue seething.
Poirot breaks down the points and you go 'oh this fucking bitch', but 'they' go 'isnt it crazy how poirot was very very wrong mrgrgrgrgr, he was such an idiot'

Fun timing on that one. Ackroyd came out in June 1926, and that December Christie vanished for 11 days. Quite a year for her.
