- A.O. Scott and Manohla Dargis have now been holding court at the New York Times for more than 20 years.
- Many young men have developed a yen for the blistering pen of Glenn Kenny.
- Reviews of oldies and links to his professional work continue at Theo's Century of Movies, but the primo stuff is on his Letterboxd account.
- (Also, after years of laboriously changing the URL on Theo's site every fucking time I want to look up one of his old reviews, I've finally just converted them myself. Have explained to him that doing so takes literally like 30 seconds via a simple Find/Replace, but he's just not that kinda guy. So here's a complete list of the older films. I'll need to update this every so often, but once a year is preferable to three times per week.)
- Cinephilia has no greater champion on the far right than Victor J. Morton, whose lucid prose will make you wonder how somebody so frickin’ smart could be so freakin’ wrong.
- Michael Sicinski demonstrates that it’s possible to write about avant-garde cinema (among other things) without sounding like a humorless, pedantic jerkwad.
- Today Zach Ralston is no longer a maggot. Today he is one of my links. He's part of a brotherhood. And that goddamned communist heathen had best sound off that he loves the Virgin Mary, or I'm gonna stomp his guts out!
- Bilge Ebiri opted to name his new(ish) blog They Live by Night, forgoing the more obvious It’s Pronounced Bill-guh.
- Dan Sallitt’s ever-evolving list of favorite films discriminates against the colorblind. He now also blogs.
- Jason Overbeck worked on Green Zone, but I choose not to hold that against him.
- I’m gonna keep this link up until Matt Prigge inevitably flakes out on his screening log, then I’m gonna take it down.
- “The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom”—William Blake. “I will now color-code every film in the TIFF lineup by wanna-see”—Blake Williams
- Vern apparently lives. Long apparently live Vern.
- The Internet Movie Database, I trust, needs no introduction.
