The X Troop



I just love reading Kim Masters. Sometimes I can't always pinpoint why, but I can here: She serves Tarantino up on a plate and does it without a bit of effrontery, showmanship, or force. She just tells the truth—a true story, in fact—and one that is probably worth more of our time than all 2 1/2 hours of Inglourious Basterds.

The Playlist does a great job reporting/covering the announced Tarantino-Nolan vs. Cameron showdown. Talk about epic. Cameron has homefield advantage, but T & N have the greater and more recent fanbase. I also love that smug pic they put together. It's just great.

And, finally, Armond White tones down the wackiness a little and gives an admittedly insightful and thought-provoking review of G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra. Makes me want to rethink my own (or maybe it doesn't).


P.S. I am travelling to New York, New York for a week to visit some old friends. If I have the time, I'll whip up a frivolous "Reporting from New York" post. That is all.
