“There are basically two kinds of people,” critic Harlan Jacobson observed in the mid ‘80s. “Those who think of Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd when they hear Moonlighting, and those who think of Jeremy Irons and Jerzy Skolimowski.”

HE: “The Jeremy Irons? It opened 40 years ago.”
Friendo: “The one I saw was five or six years ago. A black kid…”
HE: “That was Moonlight. (beat) Whadja think of that?”
Friendo: “Ehh. Didn’t like the ending.”
