What really boils my blood is when stans complain that a review isn't valid because the critic is bringing their personal opinion into it. Like ... yes???

The individuality buck stops there, evidently

I need a proofreader here; he needs a proofreader there.

As Peter Labuza pointed out on Twitter, there are now exactly zero North American magazines devoted to film as an art

I had two pieces in there early on. They seemed to become all about festivals and films no one had yet seen at some point, and I lost interest in them and they lost interest in me at exactly the same moment.

That’s unfortunate. In general the EIC seems a little insufferable but he did create a magazine as good as if. Or better than Film Comment imo
