um, what? ‘Social Network’ is elitist?
‘Left coast, right coast, and a smidge of Chicago only. The rest of the country could care less,’ says a studio exec about who came out to see the Fincher Facebook flick. Huh?
Month: October 2010
Buried movie review: boxed in
How did anyone dare to do this? How did anyone think they would get away with it? Most audacious of all, perhaps: Did anyone have any notion that such a recklessly bold premise for a film would possibly succeed this well?
wtf: 10-year-old film critic represents the best that the American press has to offer
Imagine you were last year’s winner of the San Diego Press Club 2010 Excellence in Journalism Award. Or imagine you’re next year’s winner. The most positive thing you could possibly take from having such an award bestowed upon you is that you are at least as professional as a fucking fourth-grader.

‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: “My Other Carseat Is in the TARDIS”
For the well-dressed time-traveling baby…
the oh-no! DVD of the week: ‘Space Chimps 2 3D’
Space Chimps was one of the worst movies of 2008, so of course they made a sequel.
trailer break: ‘My Soul to Take’
Just find any old quote from any old musty book that alludes to death, have someone read it over some footage of foggy woods, with some plinking excuse for music on the soundtrack…
