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 suppose one could count Film Quarterly yet, but still)

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
