Seriously, Los Angeles Times? You’re gonna lay off one of only two film critics on staff?

The top newspaper in LA is now going to have less staff critics than the Daily News and the LA Weekly, and the same number as the uber-penny-pinchers at CityBeat?

It’d be one thing if you found a critic unsatisfactory and [...]

I guess I must be moving up in importance. I don’t often get invited to these sneak-peak showcases. But this past Friday, I was invited, along with several other industry folk, to see some finished footage from the upcoming 3-D stop-motion animated feature CORALINE, based on the children’s book by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean.

Well, SAW V has arrived, and as fun as some of it might have been, it wasn’t even close to the first three, and things look even grimmer as the story progresses. I said after part 3 that it was a perfect place to end, but the box office receipts said otherwise. Lionsgate is clearly [...]

UPDATE: On MSNBC, NBC deputy political director Mark [...]

…at Tony Pierce’s birthday party:

“Luke Y. Thompson? Man, if you’re having trouble finding writing work, I have no chance!”

…didn’t show much new stuff.

Shots from the existing trailer, the Comic-Con presentation, and a few new things, mostly Rorschach showing his dexterity, leaping off walls an’ shit.

Still looks good, but I was hoping for an actual scene.

Oh man…just saw the Friday the 13th “world premiere.” All of that footage and more was in the Comic-Con [...]

Earlier tonight, I sent the following email to John McCain:

Dear Senator McCain,

I noticed that at a recent rally, Hank Williams Jr. re-wrote the lyrics of his song “Family Tradition” into an endorsement of your campaign, with Governor Palin present. Mr. Williams, as you may or may not know, is also author of a song entitled [...]

Dave White finally returns to movie-reviewing at Movies.com, where he used to write until the site got bought out and briefly decided to do without him but then they changed their minds and realized his awesomeness. So now he’s back.
