• Journalmalism! It’s a feature, not a bug. They’re not “screwing up” — the way things are is what they want. “Lara Logan Reportedly Returning to 60 Minutes Early Next Year” [Mediaite]

• Oh dear. Shia LaBeouf thinks online film critics make a living. “Shia LaBeouf Makes Fun of Movie Critics in His Short Film ‘HowardContour.com’” [Hollywood]

• This gets better. “Shia LaBeouf wanted to prove online film critics were terrible writers, so he plagiarized Daniel Clowes” [The Dissolve]

So I take it you don’t summon Benedict Cumberbatch by facing a mirror and saying his name three times…

Shia LaBeouf doesn’t actually exist, he’s just pasted together from the most bankable bits of other actors?

What makes it clear is that 60 Minutes will always be journalism, where as this web-site will always be puke.
