Yes, let's make that happen.  He's one of a few men I actually find attractive.

Perhaps.  A friend knows her editor and keeps saying he'll introduce me, but I worry I might accidentally say, "[Insert film critic's name] is terrible!" while shaking his hand.

I bet Winston knows Blair Underwood.

In that case, it's a dysfunctional religious family in which light-skinned men are awesome, and darker-skinned dudes are generally menacing.

Ugh, one of my friends insists The Mindy Project got better after some really terrible episodes, but I don't trust him.  Also, wasn't Chris Messina on Whitney?

I'd love to see Luther go off on lovestruck declarations about some famous guy he knew once.

This is the case in just about every fandom.

Okay, I didn't love that film, but c'mon, give Ray some props.

Sometimes people stick them in their backpacks at the bookstore I work at, then unload at the cash register.  And then I rant about stupid corporate not being willing to hire security people.

I can't imagine Rex Reed singing "Cut My Fellow Film Critic In Half Blues" while lamenting that loss.

Still haven't seen the film, only read the novel.

I'm finding it harder to locate critics I really love to read and seem to do a good job actually writing about films, but I've been digging A.O. Scott for a while, and Walter Chaw really intrigues me.

@iamnotchicomaki:disqus I'm not sure what you mean, but would giving up my house and material possessions be enough?

I'll have to see what the local theaters are offering.  I don't go see a lot of movies with Dad.  Probably the last one we saw together in the theater was Dark Shadows.

One of his correspondents was.  It was for a photoshopped prediction of what Bieber will look like at age forty.

I feel that way whenever I see Ben Mankiewicz on TCM, but he knows at least a little more than his former At the Movies cohost.  Still, I'd much rather see Robert Osborne fulltime.

That's exactly how I felt.  I've been spending more time writing film analysis lately (500+ words or so for the theater, longer in my free time), but what I wouldn't give to be a published film critic.

Yeah, it pissed me off to no end.  I was making less than a hundred a month writing about film for a university paper, and actually writing "interesting" (in my unhumble opinion, but c'mon, who doesn't want to read about why Hot Tub Time Machine is about Ayn Randian objectivism?), and this girl was living my dream,…

Glad to see it maintains the quality in its first few episodes, at least from Todd's point of view.  Looking forward to this tonight.
