You go, girl!
Jill Stewart has been named News Editor at the LA Weekly. For those who remember her at New Times LA, this is either sweet irony or armageddon.
Speaking as her former co-worker, and friend since 1999, I'm very happy for her. Jill gets an undeserved rap as some kind of arch-conservative that is patently untrue -- she is arch-conservative on some issues, but she's arch-liberal on others. At any rate, she's one of the most giving and hard-working human beings I've ever known, and I'm glad to see her back in a position where she can wreak a little havoc in this town.

I have been anxiously awaiting "Special" since I saw a trailer of it last year around Sundance time, where, I think, it screened. The trailer was so good, so funny, dark and surreal, I have been shocked to virtually hear nothing of the movie until this capsule review and the AFI screening. What a strange business. Michael Rapaport looks incredible in this thing.
Also can't wait to see Inland Empire!!!

Oh, bad move. Picture the above comment attached to the other post, the one regarding the AFI capsule reviews...

Terrific news. Does the Weekly pay its film critics well?

Steve - I write for the entire company, so I get paid the same if my review runs in the Weekly or if it doesn't.
