Put Them out to Pasture


Shouldn't there be a list? Media types who really, really need to be put out to pasture?

I'll start.

1. Anthony Lane, NY'er film critic

This dude has been bad for a long, long time. But he's reached a kind of apotheosis in his review of Bruno. What I say: let him be prissy, self-satisfied and dense all day long. Let him do that while chewing grass in the back acre.

I do see what you're saying. My friend thinks he (and Denby) are dorks for putting down mostly all action movies. He does have a few zingers though. Either him or Denby said about A Beautiful Mind: if you think the titles bad try the movie. I hope you aren't a big Ron Howard fan. Something tells me you aren't. Because then we can laugh about this title card: COMING SOON from Paramount - Ron Howard's BLOOD MERIDIAN

is that for real? that can't be for real.....

the AL reviews are all just really an articulation of posture. they're not about action flicks; they're about how and why those who adopt the posture are above them....
