from Facebook: when male film journalists mistake talking about their boners for lucid, informative, intelligent discussion about movies

I find Wesley Morris’ essays bewildering in general. They seem to be based on assumptions I don’t share. In this case, his assumptions barely make sense. He assumed that Kate Hudson is the sort of actress who’d appear in a movie where she’s attacked by a shark. That’s odd, because she’s not particularly known for horror or action movies. In fact, her career has been extremely varied. But you’d think he’d check some basic facts before going to the movies, like looking at the star’s name in the ad. I read the whole article thinking: Why are you telling us this? Are other people as baffled by Morris as I am?
