In the latest scuffle between critics and studios, a New York Press critic Armond White is barred from a Noah Baumbach preview (…but eventually is capitulated to despite the unearthing of some mean spirited words) - Roger Ebert’s Thumbs Down for Variety in Letting Go Todd McCarthy in favour of Freelance Reviewing
“What I’m saying is that Todd McCarthy is not a man Variety should have lightly dismissed. He is the longest-serving and best-known member of the paper’s staff, and if they made such a drastic decision, we are invited to wonder if Variety itself will long survive.” - The Cove Team go after Restaurants Serving Illegal Whale-meat

Eric Skillman has been designing DVD covers for the Criterion Collection for a few years now, and each one is a work of art.

Thanks for the Eric Skillman interview link! I love those Criterion covers SO MUCH. I’d love to have one-sheet sized versions of many of them to put on my wall – I’m definitely subscribing to his blog, too (http://ericskillman.blogspot.com/).
