Everybody's a Critic (and They're All on Letterboxd)

  • Scott Westminster Black is too hard on himself.  Read the capsules before he axes them like Gordon Lish after three glasses of cognac.
  • There are ER doctors in Chicago who have seen less gore and carnage than Steve Carlson.
  • Can we start an OnlyFans for Mike D'Angelo?  He doesn't even have to sell Film Nerd Bathwater.  It can just be him screaming into a webcam for two hours about Bunny Lake Is Missing.
  • I had a dream once where Eric Henderson helped me escape a horde of zombies in Minneapolis.  And by zombies I mean psychopathic cops who should be in jail forever.
  • Odie Henderson and I once had a three hour discussion about Billy Wilder (this is true).  This was before he downed that bowl of chocolate soup (this is also true).
  • Someone has dutifully retyped many of Pauline Kael's reviews.  I'm still not sure it's legal to do this, but I appreciate the effort.
  • Mr. Theo Panayides wants to give up writing to sit on the beach and stare at whales.  If this happens I will chain myself to a wall and go on a hunger strike.  (Just make sure there's plenty of coffee and cigarettes nearby.)
  • Jonathan Rosenbaum recently called ice cream, stuffed animals and platonic love over-rated.
  • Armond White can allegedly be seen getting kicked out of big ticket events ... and kicking old people in the chest.
