FOC Mrs. Tingle e-mails with the question on everyone's lips:

True, it does smack of Mitchell metaphors of yore, but the cinetrix suspects that NYT Movies copyeditors might keep a slush file of Elvisisms culled from the former Times critic's notoriously splayed out reviews just so they can punch up Scott's prose now and again.
*Indeed, Skid and Mojo might have to update their song: I'm pretty sure that, like Michael J. Fox before him, A.O. Scott has no Elvis in him.
Have a good weekend, kiddies, and remember: Elvis need boats.
