What does it matter what a critic looks like? Harry might not win a Brad Pitt look-a-like contest anytime soon but he knows as much about movies as anyone else in that documentary. Who reads Time Magazine for movie reviews anyway?

comment #7

LexG says ...

One night in a drunken depressed stupor, I was railing on Twitter about my boring existence and how I'm not famous and how does it not KILL other people that they're not having sex with models. In other words, a typical Monday night.

But HARRY KNOWLES replied to my "why aren't you banging models/partying/clubbing" query with "Been there, done that."

Again, I repeat, "Been there, done that." Does this mean Harry (who's now happily married, fine) once upon a time was so courted in this town that model-quality women were hooking up with him? Or that he was CLUBBING?

And when I say clubbing, I mean in "the black guy sense," wherein for blacks and Latinos THE CLUB is some mythical place where any HR sadsack or bank teller goes on a Friday night and within seconds a video-chick level model is swinging from your nuts.

So HARRY KNOWLES was really out at the THIS BEAT IS TECHNOTRONIC club with the strobes and laser lights and Rhythm is a Dancer music with chicks in skimpy dresses and the little heels??? HOW does one gain entree to these clubs? THIS IS MYSTIFYING TO ME, and the night Harry tweeted me that he's actually LIVED THE LIFE is one of the most depressing of my life. Not even to disparage him or his appearance, but let's face it, I'm a pretty unexceptional looking guy if you've seen my vids, but I don't have the eccentric look of Knowles. But he has been clubbing and rolling with superstars and possibly hooking up with club chicks?

Why is life so empty and unfair?

And in general, this speaks to something I've posted about twice in the last week or so; It BOGGLES the mind that our regulars here like Gilchrist and Thompson and whoever else reviews film here in L.A... This city COSTS A FORTUNE. You CANNOT LIVE HERE on less than 40, 50k. But you guys get to REVIEW MOVIES and GO TO SCREENINGS for a LIVING. What combination of secondary cash flow or inherited dough do you have to have to make this lifestyle possible?

When we all bemoan the fall of the film critic, let's face it, none of these axed critics are gonna EVER get a 35k closed-captioning job in Hollywood. They're gonna keep on going to screenings and writing for blogs and websites, and THE GREATEST MYSTERY OF MY LIFE at the moment is how you guys pay 2 or 3 THOUSAND dollars a month in bills, rent and car off a 100-for-a-review lifestyle.

In short, I WANT TO BE AT THESE CRITICS SCREENINGS, and I DON'T want to sit in a dungeon transcribing the mutterings and gruntings of porn stars.

Terry McCarty says ...

In a perfect world, Schickel would leave TIME and start a critics' website/blog with David Ansen and only review current films that interest him as much as those from the Holy 70s. If Schickel digs enough, he'll find them.

comment #9

televisiontears says ...

Has Harry Knowles ever had a critical thought or even written a review? It seems he just describes his day before the screening in detail and then rambles on for a thousand poorly-written words with sexually-charged metaphors about how LIFE-CHANGING AND IMPORTANT the film was.

Does anyone outside of pubescent outcasts and basement-dwelling man-children take him seriously?

comment #12

LexG says ...

Snoop, maybe, but I am SICK of NOT BEING FAMOUS, SICK of not meeting famous people, SICK of not dating actresses and models.

WHAT ONE MAN CAN DO, ANOTHER MAN CAN DO.

So how does it not EAT ALL OF OUR SOULS ALIVE that Sam Worthington is having The Life of Sam Worthington, and we are having OUR bullshit, dogshit, not-famous lives? It sucks. It is TORTURE. I have wanted to be famous and HAVE SEX WITH MODELS since I was EIGHT YEARS OLD, when I fantasized about having a kingdom where women were my slaves and looked like the chick on the 1981 VO liquor ads.

Now it's 2010, son, and I'm still a cubicle jockey, LOVING MOVIES MORE than anyone on this blog or ANYWHERE IN LA except maybe Tarantino, shelling out my own money to see 120 movies a year that I have to squeeze in at matinees because I work so goddamn much, losing my hair and NEVER GETTING ANYWHERE because the grind is so exhausting. And YOU DUDES get to be MOVIE CRITICS.

Which isn't like being SAM WORTHINGTON, but it's still a pretty sweet life; Movie premieres and interviewing that Greta chick from Greenberg while I'm QCing Monique Alexander movies and eating at Subway then getting home at 3AM to START drinking, depressed and near suicidal every second of my life, wishing I could just MAKE A LIVING OFF MOVIES, as I love them more than there are even words, and a bunch of cynical, jaded, pleased-with-themselves types who could TAKE OR LEAVE MOVIES but just like runnin' they yap get to rush from screening to screening and kick it with The Fox at junkets... And I'm slowly ROTTING AWAY at 37, never having even MET a famous person EVER, never getting to do ANYTHING because rent is 1400 and the other bills are 1600 EVERY SINGLE MONTH so if I don't make a thou a week, I DON'T EAT.

Guess all you dudes have rich parents.

Harry Knowles and his fanboy claque are the worst thing to happen to film criticism, and movies in general, since....well, maybe since ever.

Sam says ...

lex i can tell you right now knowles is lying / embellishing

the truth would run something like this:

1) he's flown to LA for a junket/whatever.

2) likely at his request, the publicist arranges entry to an LA club for him and some hangers-on.

3) he sits there all night, ignore (by women).

or maybe he's talking about premiere afterparties.

same scenario... he sits there, ignored (by women).

*commercial arrangements, however, are a distinct possibility.

Schickel's a dick, and his article on the making of RAGING BULL in Vanity Fair was terrible. He got fundamental things wrong, like misidentifying the scene when La Motta poured ice water on his johnson.

comment #16

LexG says ...

Shit, I'd GLADLY sit in the corner at the club all night; I don't even know how you get in the door.

I'd just sit there and check out all the hot models and actresses then go home and punch the clown. It'd STILL be the most exciting thing I've done since 2004.

I am genuinely depressed and don't know how to parlay even my modest semi-freakshow-movie blog fame into ANYTHING. I tried to start my own blog, but I can't figure out TypePad. Guess I should have taken Poland up on those Megan Fox junkets that I TURNED DOWN because I HAD TO WORK and thought I'd be too nervous talking to the other critics.

corey3rd says ...

I gave up on Harry's reviews after spending most of my time scanning his write ups to get past the "how I got to the theater" rambles.

What sort of Model has Harry been there/done that? Model house? Model train? Model of the Invisible woman? In the internet age, there's probably some "model" that has a fetish for a Harry Knowles type. Who knows what their uncles did to them in the tool shed to get such a craving.

I'm still holding that Netflix killed the movie critic since no longer do we need to approach a film through the critic since we all have access to the title and are no longer at the mercy of TV programmers or the jerk who stocks blockbuster.

comment #20

LexG says ...

UNCLE.

I can't take another day as a complete loser and failure, never getting my way, smarter and more creative than 90% of L.A. but stuck in some DOGSHIT job, losing my hair like Robert Loggia and with no prospects EVER for dating (not that I ever want to date ever again), sexing, or being famous. I did a student film and some plays and took some acting classes for a few months, but all that shit's dried up, not to mention NONE OF IT made me FAMOUS. If I were FAMOUS I would be INSTANTLY HAPPY, as it's the ONE THING I have wanted MY ENTIRE LIFE. I cannot stand living as a nobody on a planet where every rapper or fruity Justin Bieber YouTube kid is a MILLIONAIRE and dating models and actresses. And I shovel shit in some wack post job going through OTHER PEOPLE'S creativity frame by motherfucking frame, never going anywhere or having any life, beholden to this movie-fanatic lifestyle of spending my FEW free hours in a theater usually alone, or watching DVDs while downing booze in the wee hours then coming on the Internet and playing the fool.

I want to be Sam Worthington. I'm not even as cool as Sam the fucking Butcher. Only 37 and I'm so worn down by life and work and depression and sexlessness that I feel 77. Tried to diet and GAINED 20 pounds. Posted some vids on YouTube and everyone said how ugly I was. Never met anyone famous. Such a loser.

Shit, the idea that Wells or Gilchrist or Drew or Luke has actually SPOKEN TO A FAMOUS PERSON makes me GREEN with envy and blue with depression. You guys LIVE MY DREAM and you take it for granted like it's an everyday thing.

HONESTLY: How can someone as obviously smart and funny and talented as me NOT have at least some small window of opportunity in this town after 15 years? Why am I buried in a post bunker for 90% of my life?

I have all these issues, and really, the only thing keeping me going is my excitement about BROOKLYN'S FINEST this weekend, which somehow trumps all that doubt and misery. Because I love movies THAT much that a '90s style cop movie can turn my mood around even though NOTHING's changed and I'm still probably not going to have sex again in the next decade, if not the rest of my life.

Mr. Sheldrake says ...

Richard Schickel is a useless sack of shit, plain and simple. He's had his head so far up Clint Eastwood's ass for the last 20 years that he has no idea what film criticism or cinema itself look like. From his supposedly-revelatory-but-actually-30-years-too-late piece on Raging Bull in Vanity Fair to his recent take on Robert Altman (link below) that is so thoroughly wrongheaded, confused, backwards, and clueless about the art of cinema that it might as well have been written by Bosley Crowther circa 1968, he demonstrates his irrelevance more and more with each passing day. The Altman piece is downright childish. What the hell did the people who put the panel together think that Richard Schickel could possibly contribute. I fucking hate Ain't it Cool News and the whole fanboy-critic online thing, but I suspect Harry Knowles has rolls of fat with more critical acumen and appreciation of cinema than Schickel.

Harry knows a lot about movies, and his rampant eclecticism is a hoot -- allows him to make all sorts of interesting connections across the genres and across the decades. Occasionally he expresses exactly the perfect thought about a given movie. Unfortunately, he has never learned proper writing (his grammar is hopeless), and he just *likes* too much of what he sees -- you can't really trust his judgment. I don't expect to agree with any critic all the time, but I do like them to have some kind of discernible standards.

Nonetheless, I like Harry. He unified a chunk of geek culture into a cultural force, and took care to do it with a deep respect for the history of the movies going all the way back to Lon Chaney, Douglas Fairbanks, Michael Curtiz, etc.

comment #25

moviesquad says ...

This guy sounds like a Luddite and is being unnecessarily cruel to Harry Knowles who is a great guy, and I don't think Harry considers himself a "film critic", just a movie fan. Harry has his niche which he essentially discovered, and if you are looking for serious film criticism, his site isn't the place, but he serves a different audience.

Geoff says ...

Lex, try eating healthy foods for a week and see if that helps with your depression. I'm not trying to be anti-medicatoin like Tom Cruise or anything, but I've found eating foods by color and getting essential vitamins and folate will help improve your mood immensely. Also, buy some saffron and make tea - it has the same effect as prozac.

comment #31

Deathtongue_Groupie says ...

Guess Stephen Hawking is happy that Jeff doesn't write about science.

Lexie has to be kidding if he lives in LA and has never spoken to anyone famous. I had been in LA for all of 3 weeks when I went to my local post office and met Harry Morgan. Shared time with Cameron Diaz in the concession line at the Chinese. Had Jacqueline Bisset give me good natured grief for ordering a hot dog between episodes of THE DECALOGUE.

And those are the better known ones. There are countless encounters with character actors in libraries (Richard Brooks), parking garages (Bruce Greenwood) and the line at Target (Mary McCormack) or my old apartment building (Abe Benrubi).

Can't help anyone who's goal is to be rich and famous, with very few exceptions most of the rich & famous I've met or heard about did not set out to achieve that. They did it by doing something that they were HIGHLY MOTIVATED to do and that part just happened. There's really only one truly famous serious film critic, Roger Ebert. And to this day he is known in many plebeian filmgoer households as "the fat one."

As with anyone who plays the fool 95% of the time, it's hard to tell when someone isn't putting everyone on again. But, it sounds like Lex has had an unrealistic life goal for 29 years and has hit the wall of reality. But better 37 than 47. Still got time to adjust and try for an actual relationship with a real human being if the dying alone aspect truly bothers him.

Or get a dog. It will still care more whether you come home or not than any woman shallow enough to want your company based on some sort of fleeting fame.

Don't knock it - in college, there was no easier place to get lucky with girls than the gay clubs. There's something to be said for lowered guards.

And Dave, don't be a fucking asshole.

comment #33

hunterd says ...

Seriously LexG? You've never met a famous person? Hell, I'm not even in LA and I randomly ended up drinking with one of the guys from Star Trek (2009) last weekend. I grew up in LA and I have literally no idea how you could go 1 year, much less 15 without running into someone "famous".

Btw, when you say "famous' it really reads like, "I desperately want someone to love me".

Also, if you really need to sleep with a porn star or model, a whole hell of a lot of porn actresses are "escorts" on the side too. I donno how you'd reach em, but I've been told by porn industry folks that this is a fact.

comment #35

Josh Massey says ...

Yeah, Lex, get $50 and go have a few drinks any weekend night at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills bar. You'll be neck deep in celebrities.

I've been there a few times over the years, and had perfectly normal, non-fanboyish conversations with Courteney Cox, Wes Craven, Robert Duvall and others. Sat at tables next to Kiefer Sutherland, Christian Bale, Harvey Keitel, Morgan Freeman - and like I said, I've only been there a handful of times.

Plus, of particular interest to you, Larry Flynt hangs out there frequently (at least I've seen him there 25% of the times I've been).

comment #36

lipranzer says ...

You know, for a critic who places such a premium on civility (and attacking, among others, Raymond Carney, Pauline Kael, and John Simon for lack of civility - in the case of the latter, I do agree), Schickel certainly is a textbook example of "do as I say, not as I due" in the civility department.

comment #37

dixiedugan66 says ...

Cripes sake...Lex, even if I believed a smidge of what your are ranting about, I'd still have to say man the fuck up and get on with your life. People with your current mindset (or pretend to via various posting boards) are a waste of energy on others and yourselves. There are those in way worse situations than you. Maybe instead of fixating on the negative in your (possiblly pretend) life you should get off your ass and do something about it instead of whining.

Schickel is past his sell by date - his shit job with the Warner Brothers doc and book prove that.

comment #38

corey3rd says ...

Richard Schickel's documentaries about filmmakers make him less of a critic since he does have to worry about upsetting his future subjects. He isn't working as a viewer, but as part of the machine. He needs access to these people.

In a sense, he's as great of a suck up to the machine as Harry.

I've run into stars in North Carolina. I hunt out at a bar with Kevin Corrigan. Had Lassie's mom wander into my bookstore. And that's not counting classmates that are now all over the TV and movies. if you can't pop into stars while living in LA, I recommend you not seek a job at tmz.

comment #39

LexG says ...

Massey, I consider myself an artist, not a fan, so I would never dare bother a celebrity in a public setting. Of course I've SEEN famous people out and about (though not many... guess they don't roll in Armenian neighborhoods or North Hollywood), but isn't RULE #1 OF LIFE "never approach or speak to a celebrity, ever?" It's the ultimate in sycophancy.

Until I am able to speak with them as an EQUAL via my acting, I would NEVER DARE; Even when I had an offer to go to junkets, part of my chickening out was due to NOT BEING WORTHY; What NEW QUESTION can I ask Megan Fox that she'd even remember me from Byron Allen? I want to meet Megan Fox as her MALE CO-STAR.

I want to be THE NEW SAM WORTHINGTON. As for "doing something," dixiedugan, I said:

I've been running this shtick on blogs for eight years, hasn't gotten me famous beyond some passing Vanity Fair, HuffPo and Defamer notices.

I did standup for six years, didn't get me famous.
Took acting classes on and off, nope, not famous.
Did some short and student films. Nothing.

How exactly do I GET SEEN BY AN AGENT? What is the thing that distinguishes a Sam Worthington that an Aussie working actor becomes an international MEGASTAR, and I can't even get an agent?

As for Schickel, the guy's spry, hip and with it compare to Kenneth Turan (who, maybe not coincidentally, is probably the second-biggest Eastwood fanatic among major critics.) Turan sees about six movies a year and can't even look at violence despite being a critic since 1907... yet he still hogs the PLUM SPOT for Los Angeles film criticism at the Times, despite never reviewing anything, ever. Talk about picking and choosing your assignments. If Roger Ebert can see every bad slasher movie and vagcom that comes down the pike, how come Kenny T only peers out of the Turancave for Zaillian, Clint, Clooney and Paltrow?

40-minute drive through noted speed-trap/checkpoint Sunset Strip plus my Plainview-level tolerance to alcohol = me having to have 15, 20 drinks to even THINK about bothering a celeb, followed by a probable DUI.

Until I'm rich/famous enough to have an entourage/driver, I can't even leave the house to have a good time. Most of my 'friends" are blue-collar bar types, not Hollywood hipsters.

comment #43

MechanicalShark says ...

LexG, have you taken a stab at writing an autobiographical screenplay about your life? From all the stuff you've written here about your hopes, dreams, failures, and agonies, it seems like something really compelling could come out of that. Though, doing so might involve realizing that a lot of your misery is self-inflicted. Look, your attitude that no pretty girl will want to date someone that looks like you is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Also, it kind of sounds like LA is killing you. Perhaps it might be best to move away for a few years, do something else for a while, find a girlfriend (hint: supermodel types will never fall for you, but it's because they're mostly airheaded assholes, but cool hipster girls are not actually that discriminating, I have noticed [unless they live in California]).

comment #44

televisiontears says ...

Lex, I'll go out on a limb here and assume you care about fame much more than any work that might lead to fame. I run into guys like you more than I'd like to, mostly musicians, and they all suck at what they do. It's all about the scene, the groupies, being seen at the right bars and it's pathetic.

None of them get anywhere because they don't invest much time (and even less passion) in their craft.

For fucks sake, do what interests you, what you're passionate about, and work your ass off. Stop bitching on movie blogs about how shitty your life is while Haiti is in ruins, kids in every country starve to death, and pointless wars takes innocent life everyday. Be a fucking man, shut the fuck up about your little problems and get to work.

comment #45

LexG says ...

If everyone compared themselves to people who it WORSE OFF than them? We'd all still be living in fucking caves.

In this life I care about ONE PERSON and ONE PERSON only. Me. I don't care about my community, I don't really care about other things that DO NOT AFFECT ME. Not to say I don't have empathy, which I do in droves, but I'm not gonna sit around patting myself on the back for having it better than some dude standing outside 7-11 with a cup in his hand.

I compare myself to my IDOLS: Cruise, Affleck, Wahlberg, Damon, Josh Holloway, Sam Worthington, Jake Gyllenhaal. THAT is what I should be.

And TVT, for the umpteenth time I just did a short film and some plays BECAUSE I LOVE ACTING and I LOVE WRITING (the latter not as much), and, actually, I love RAMBLING ON THE INTERNET and wish I got paid for it... Unfortunately I'm TOO BUSY PAYING BILLS to do what makes me happy, which just happens to be the very thing that should make me rich.

You the reader.

Do you really think you'd be more entertained by SCHICKEL than you would by LEXG writing for TIME MAGAZINE? You get wishy-washy, elitist film critics pleased with their own voice instead of THE PASSIONATE ABOUT MOVIES LEXMASTER because he's too busy rocking a cubicle in a dungeon.

I don't have much of a take on Knowles one way or the other beyond dude needs to lose that repulsive chin beard and hair, BUT at least the dude LOVES movies and can make you feel it.

Ken Turan or Schickel couldn't make me vicariously excited about fucking toast.

comment #50

Ray DeRousse says ...

That said, televisiontears has a point. While some definitely strive for fame and achieve some level of it, the really famous often got there simply by chasing their dreams, and having the perserverence to keep doing what they love until it paid off.

There's this weird obsession with "fame" that pervades society now. Part of that has to do with fame being so easy to achieve in this YouTubed world; everyone has a fantasy about reaching it now that it is actually within reach. But what about having artistic integrity? What about the thrill of the work, rather than the thrill of the payoff?

I would put this to you, Lex - if you loved writing on blogs so much, then why wouldn't you hunker down and learn how to build websites? Wordpress and others are fairly out-of-the-box, and with some learning curve can be mastered. Why weren't you ever motivated to start learning this in order to create a forum for your own voice?

Answer: laziness. You want to do minimum amounts of work in order to get famous and be adored. Not only does that rarely happen in real life, but it also probably SHOULDN'T happen, either.

comment #51

Anthony Thorne says ...

Purely through his own efforts, Schickel has earned a reputation amongst my film-nerd buddies as being one of the worst DVD commentators working. It's no surprise that people pined for Sir Christopher Frayling to take over the duties on the mic for the re-release of THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY. Knowles might have his technical shortcomings as a writer but I still frequently enjoy reading his thoughts on movies, something I can't say for RS. I can see where Schickel is coming from with his downbeat observations about the current state of cinemagoing, but a man who makes a reasonable living producing documentaries for Warner, or shooting lengthy on-camera career interviews with the likes of Spielberg, should be the last to fucking complain.

If you don't want to take up Ray's offer. You should consider blogger. I've been on blogspot for about 3/4 of a year and have at least 300 visitors a month and I'm not even 1/10 the personality you are.

comment #53

LexG says ...

Colin: I had Blogspot for a few months... It's still there, but I took down all the entries... I just don't like their layout to begin with; It's free so you can't carp too much, but it's user unfriendly and bland, but more importantly, it makes COMMENTING A CHORE, with its weird log-in and clunky layout.

The whole appeal of the Internet for me is VALIDATION (since I get none in life), and I want anything I post to get, if not Wells-level numbers, some decent feedback. Granted, I ONLY used Blogspot to post some scraps from MCN, it was a terrible blog, but without a consistent parade of feedback, it just feels like talking to one's self. Just as a reader of other people's blogs, it's a nuisance to clock in on Blogger.

Wordpress I signed up for and didn't like the lack of options for backgrounds. I would ideally want a real-looking site like this one or Luke Thompson's, but no offense to the kind offers, I'm not sure I want to get involved with a WEBMASTER or ponying up fees to another dude. I'm fine with paying TypePad's 15-a-month plan, but as I was "making my blog" there it just looked like some cheap piece of crap with a FROG backdrop or a Twitter backdrop. Not something handsome and streamlined like this.

I just don't know what to make of someone who publicly whines about not getting anywhere in the entertainment industry, whines about not getting the same amount of glory and pussy as Harry Knowles (HA!), and then has the nerve to turn down a perfectly free offer from a stranger.

Lex, just be an extra.

I had Salma Hayek fix my tie on the set of Grown Ups. Sandler tapped me in the balls, but that's a whole nother story.

comment #62

LexG says ...

I've been an extra on many things. Rule #1 is DON'T BOTHER THE STAR. Tiffani Thiessen was friendly though. Gave me a week's worth of "material" if you know what I mean.

But I'm not an extra. I am a star. I want nothing short of being one of the most Hilton-level famous people on this planet.

How does it not murder your soul that Justin Bieber put a video on YouTube and is now dating Selena Gomez, partying with Usher, and, oh, yes, A MILLIONAIRE??????????

Facts like these are simply unacceptable.

coxcable says ...

LexG, if you take Ray up on his offer and do start a blog, your chances of getting laid go from zero to about 3%. Not too shabby.

If your blog shows that you actually have something interesting to say (and you're not just another internet weirdo with a chip on his shoulder), then your chances of tapping hot booty go up to about 7%. Why? Cuz LA chicks love positive guys.

When you get a solid readership going, then champion a crappy movie nobody understands but you (in your case a Michael Bay film). You may get invited to an industry event by a manger, agent or publicist who appreciates the love. (Chances of getting laid now go up to 15%)

If you show professionalism and make the right impression on a publicist, you can get into certain studio critic screenings. And then it's official, you're an insider with the ability to build industry buzz. You have power. You can now invite the cute girl at work to screen that Brad Pitt movie that opens next month on the Paramount lot. (Chances of cooch are now 25%)

And then, here's what you do... you find the most expensive studio movie that's campaigning for Oscars and you PRAISE IT TO HELL AND BACK. Don't stop talking about it. Interview the crew on video and put it up on your site. When the Saturday box office comes in go "WOW! LOOK AT THAT!" This will incite the studio to pay you for award ad space.

And then you won't have to work for a year. You can be a blogger full time and head to the bar after screenings with people older and uglier than you and hit on chicks who can't believe they're talking to an actual working film critic. (Chances of sex are now a whooping 50/50!)

Go get em.

Everything would be okay if people just knew my name and recognized me on the street. Of course that would change EVERYTHING. If I'm not FAMOUS in the next five years, I might as well KILL MYSELF. Until then, I'll drink myself into oblivion and spend most of my free time roaming film blogs and bitching about not being famous.

Lex - this is exactly how one has to approach it to have a chance. I can't say I've been cool with every famous person I've met -- I was willing to fanboy gush for Terry Gilliam and one or two others -- but, for the most part, if you act cool, and you treat it like an everyday thing, people will think you belong there. Everybody gets over the novelty of being worshipped real fast.

I don't take anything for granted. I know full well that the unemployment checks won't last forever. Yes, I am now dating, but I know she wouldn't meet the LexG impossible standards.

Ray: No, Lex just hates learning code, and I don't blame him.

Lex: "Tiffani Thiessen was friendly though. Gave me a week's worth of "material" if you know what I mean."

You lucky dog! She was the only reason I watched SBTB when I was a kid. Didn't bother with 90210, though, because I wanted *some* self-respect.

"How does it not murder your soul that Justin Bieber put a video on YouTube and is now dating Selena Gomez, partying with Usher, and, oh, yes, A MILLIONAIRE??????????"

You have a point, especially since the kid creeps me out, too. At least Nick Carter looked like he fit in Tiger Beat, but what the fuck would girls want to see in that shrimp answer to Zac Efron?

comment #73

Luke Y. Thompson says ...

"You as a reviewer would be more interesting that the vast majority of critics who have a job now."

Let us remember that Lex was given a column at Movie City News. It was pretty good. It has not been maintained.

comment #74

LexG says ...

Whoa, I wouldn't say I was "given a column."

And that's ALL due respect to DP, who I like immensely, but it was never some official designation of me as some regular member of the team. And he almost surely would have run some more pieces of mine had I contributed them, so I'm definitely not bagging on the guy or his offers... But a fair share of his vocal commenters/readers are SO opposed to my every move and so... unpleasant, it really isn't worth my mental health to contribute something to a place where people are actively telling a depressed man to commit suicide, or mocking my physical appearance to a degree where I'm depressed out of my fucking mind. That has little to do with Poland and EVERYTHING to do with the catty sewing circle of little spiteful bitches that his blog attracts, a bitchy and hateful little crew of hair-splitting fools like McDouche or the rampant rage cases who shall remain nameless because they're beneath contempt. If you're familiar with the ludicrously outsize hostility that my put-on shtick engenders in the average Poland reader, it shouldn't be a fucking Conan Doyle-level puzzler why I wouldn't want to continue submitting free writing samples.

"free writing samples."

Gotcha. DP was very cagey about that particular fact.

Lex, given your approach you could really do with learning to revel in the disapproval of people for whom you have no respect. Obviously requesting you top yourself is a little offputting, but surely their approbation would actually be worse.

Jonathan Spuij says ...

So no it's Harry Knowles driving people to suicide?

comment #78

LexG says ...

SPUIJ (nice name dude, what the fuck is THAT?):

YEP YEP YALL.

These are the FACTS: Knowles does make me suicidal thru know fault of his own. He doesn't know me from a hole in the ground but we've had some civil correspondence; But the idea that THIS dude (see pic above) is having a BETTER LIFE THAN ME is an affront to my Nietschean/Miliusian/Darwinian values.

WHAT ONE MAN CAN DO ANOTHER MAN CAN DO.

If KNOWLES is being SHUTTLED TO PREMIERES and TAXING VAG and being ON SET, there is NO EARTHLY REASON why I've been daintily rocking a shitty postpost job since 1996, squared away in some septic tank Alcatraz holding cell dubbing tapes or color-correcting a transfer of a MOVIE THAT COMES OUT SIX WEEKS FROM NOW, while the AICN crew is ROCKING INTERVIEWS and MEETING CELEBS.

Really, there is NO EARTHLY JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS. NONE.

I am smarter than ANYONE ON THIS PLANET, a fact PROVEN by my three degrees and an IQ of 271, a figure that is off the fucking CHARTS.

You will never convince me that BEN LYONS knows more about film than I do, or half the snarksters at Cinematical, TWOP, AVClub, ETC, whose background doesn't match my level of education in the creative fields NOR MOST IMPORTANTLY *MY PASSION.*

Unlike the SMUG HIPSTERS who wear THRIFT STORE CLOTHES reeked with another's ballsack, I actually LOVE FILM and see EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT and view it through the eyes of a TARANTINOESQUE enthusiast who isn't so caught up in my own insular wordplay that I put it above a passion for the medium.

When I talk about Brooklyn's Finest or K-STEW or Seyfried or Michael Bay, you can REST ASSURED that I am coming STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART, that even my Hunter Thompson-influenced "teller IS the story" shtick CANNOT overcome the level of LOVE and RESPECT I have for cinema or for actors.

And yet, again, tomorrow I have to bang away in a cubicle for 12-13 hours while half of YOU probably have an industry screening to get to.

And no offense, but it REALLY IS the truth:

I'm probably smarter than YOU, and I goddamn sure love movies more than ANYONE here.

I am offering my services to ALL COMERS, from fetish porn on up to fronting WB blockbusters:

I will do ANYTHING, ANYTHING to be in the movies.

Fuck blogging, I am a BORN SUPERSTAR. I've wanted to be an actor for 30 YEARS, so why am I only doing it once every few years in wack classes or student films when I could be SAM WORTHINGTON?

So ANY producers want someone to take care of that wife, or do some shady shit, I DON'T CARE, I would sell out my eternal SOUL (I'm an atheist so I don't give a FUCK) for a SAG CARD.

BELIEVE THAT. SAG OR DIE.

Physical appearance?

I have no idea what you look like so I couldn't possibly proffer a definite opinion. If it is indeed your (possibly) less than chiseled jaw line that is holding you back how about aspiring to, I dunno, Philip Seymour Hoffman instead. I accidentally endured 30 seconds of Along Came Polly yesterday and he got within at least 3 yards of Jennifer Aniston. Hell, if you coulda put up with the fat lass in Happiness think of the "material" you might have gleaned from that.

Just a thought.

PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN doesn't date KRISTEN STEWART or MEGAN FOX or TAYLOR SWIFT or ANNE HATHAWAY, I want to DATE THE HOTTEST WOMEN IN THE WORLD, the ONLY thing that could fill the empty void that is my nonexistent soul and make me feel vindicated for 37 years of my GENIUS being underappreciated.

I want to fucking kill myself. that's not a joke.

It KILLS ME that Sam Worthington has his life, and I've taken acting classes since 97, done plays, done standup, done student films and shorts, done extra work....

And can't even get an agent OR SAG.

My life is garbage, any day I'm not taxing models/actresses is a WASTED DAY. And it's the ONLY thing that would make me happy. I am a SEX ADDICT who NEVER HAS SEX.

I want to KILL MYSELF. I hate myself with the fury of 10 zillion suns. I am pure human garbage.

Would it help to point out that the readership of Hollywood Elsewhere (I don't want to speak for everyone here, but it seems I'm probably going to anyway) clearly finds you far more compelling than Sam Worthington? Hell, I'm sure some of the people who enjoy getting their hourly, daily or bi-weekly fixes of Lex even have tits.

comment #87

Floyd Thursby says ...

The only thing I don't like about working in Manhattan is that I never see celebrities. I know they're out there, but they rarely cross my path. And when they do, it's usually someone like Tony Roberts.

MDOC says ...

Don't speak for all of us, I like Worthington. I'd be torn between LexG and Worthington. I liked Terminator 4 but then again I laughed out loud when Lex called "Sorority Row" a "cuzfest". Tough one. Maybe if LexG had one of those tribal tattoos on his arm like Worthington, yeah that would change everything.

comment #91

Alboone says ...

Harry Knowels is probably the most unreliable critic of movies the medium has ever known. His writing is on a 3rd grade level that just barely scratches the surface of common sense. He would never dare give Tarantino, Del Toro or Rodriguez a bad review because they're his PALS. I wouldn't even call him a critic. He's a fanboy, already shoving aside any form of objectivity when formulating an opinion. He's just a fat payola slob who sits on his couch and watches DVDs all day.

comment #92

Gussie Fink-Nottle says ...

"Phillip Seymour Hoffman bags more grade A tail than Frank Sinatra."

Thanks corey3rd. You just inadvertently made me contemplate Seymour Hoffman mounting Michelle Obama in the Lincoln Bedroom whilst Barack beavers away furiously on the latest nuance of his increasingly futile attempts at meaningful health care reform in the Oval Office.

comment #93

Ray DeRousse says ...

Hell, Wallace Shawn and Steve Buscemi probably got plenty of nice looking tail in their heydays ... it's not about looks, it's about fame. So the Worthington bullshit is just that - bullshit.

I'm really not sure if this over-the-top rant by Lex has any truth to it, but I will say that it's pretty close to the mindset of many people in America. That's why we see douchebags pretending to send their kids up in weather balloons, why we see Paris Hilton swallow a nine inch dick, and why we see those Jersey Shore idiots cavort around on talk shows. People will do anything to get attention.

But I say again - that's not real fame. It does not last. And it's also not meaningful at all. Taylor Lautner could fuck any girl or guy he wants to right now, but five years from now he will be tossed aside like the Leif Garrett he always was. Sure, terrible actors like Worthington manage to parlay their looks into a long career- look at Brad Pitt - but for most people, they need either talent or perserverence (or both), lightly sprinkled with a little bit of luck.

Lex wants everything given to him, much like everyone else that doesn't try.

comment #94

Rich S. says ...

To paraphrase Jack Burton, "15 years in L.A. and you couldn't find one girl to fit the bill? You must be doing something seriously wrong, LexG."

I once went to L.A. on spring break and the second day I was there, my buddy and I went into the Hustler store on Sunset on a lark. While I was looking at the t-shirts with the seriously filthy words printed on them in sequins, I bumped into Carmen Electra, who at that time was at the height of her popularity. We looked at each other and she gave me a big grin.

I offer that anecdote not to brag (since nothing more happened than what I just described), but to point out that it's shouldn't be particularly difficult to find the kind of girls LexG is looking for, and at least get some positive feedback. I am by no means Sam Worthington.

comment #95

Gussie Fink-Nottle says ...

Ray - As I'm sure (in fact, abslutely certain) you know, there are so so many examples of offensively banal attempts at film bloggery out there it really is just as well it takes such a titanic and praiseworthy level of effort to sustain your own movie site. Unfortunately effort alone sometimes does lead to a little exposure. It is to be lamented.

comment #96

Ray DeRousse says ...

@ Gussie - What are there - approximately 379 million movie websites out there? In fact, the word "movie" is a terrible search engine term for that very reason. Too much competition.

I don't write to be famous, or to hobnob with celebrities. I write because I love writing, and I write about movies because I love them, too. If people read what I write and engage me in conversation about it, then I'm happy. I do get some of that, so I'm cool with it.

At this point in the development of the internet, I don't think anyone is going to get rich starting a movie website. People like Peter Sciretta have been talking about lost revenues over the past few years, so something has stalled out there. Harry Knowles had the good fortune to start AICN at the beginning of the 'net, so he has a very comfortable living which also supports his entire family. Same with Faraci, Nunziata, and CHUD.

Video is probably the next frontier, and someone with an engaging look/personality will probably lead the way and make lots of money, leaving people who tap out random movie crap on their website in the dust.

comment #97

Krillian says ...

"In this life I care about ONE PERSON and ONE PERSON only. Me."

The few famous people I've met do not for the most part think like this. Famous for talent, that is, not for being the relative of someone else famous and therefore getting a reality show.

LexG, you are killing me here. You've got all these people telling you they'd read you if you had your own outlet. You are occasionally interesting and readable. Stop being a giant bitch and go do something productive. Resolve to jog a mile every day, eat your veggies, and then feature your writing in your own space, not in HE comment threads. It's the only way you can possibly get where you want to go.

1. Your Nietschean/Milusian/Darwinian values are goofy. In the current environment, human organisms don't succeed by being well-oiled muscular killing machines, or whatever your misreading of Darwin leads you to think. Adaptability in this environment has a lot to do with being able to function well socially and being able to generate something -- anything -- that people are willing to pay for. So despite the fact that he's fat, Harry is doing pretty well under the limited & qualified definition of Darwinism you seem to be trying to evoke.

2. Dude's morbidly obese, so I wouldn't trade places with him despite his evidently being a happier and more self-actualized person than I am. I'm not sure if, all in all, it's such a great life. But I'm not inside his skin so I can't know for sure.

Yup. You have a built in blog audience kernel based on the HE talkback readership. Jeff would probably be happy to crosslink to you from time to time and mentor you etc. This place is crawling with people who are openly offering to help you with the tech side of things. (I'll throw my hat in the ring too, since I work for Yahoo, though I don't expect you to take me up on it.)

Everybody wallows. I spent years wallowing. But sooner or later you have to shut up and, y'know, do stuff. And when you start doing stuff, you just do do do do do do do and immerse yourself in the TASK and put thought of reward to the side. And then, eventually, the reward comes. Or it doesn't. But at least you were DOING something and you invariably will have grown and learned along the way.

If I were Jeff, I'd ban you, because fucking around with this kind of stuff is just a little short of criminal, of yelling "Fire" in a crowded theater, so to speak.

HOW does one gain entree to these clubs? THIS IS MYSTIFYING TO ME, and the night Harry tweeted me that he's actually LIVED THE LIFE is one of the most depressing of my life. Not even to disparage him or his appearance, but let's face it, I'm a pretty unexceptional looking guy if you've seen my vids, but I don't have the eccentric look of Knowles.

Awesome concept. I know a buddy of mine makes use of templates. This stuff is great for if you append rows to a grid or list.

Also, it would probably be great for having some sort of "viewer". You could have a list of documents, and use jQuery to get JSON data, then put the data into the template. Something like viewing invoices or other formatted docs.

Just to be picky too, according to w3schools.com, the "value" tag is deprecated? But I guess it is still technically valid. I like to be "valid" when I can :)
