We Change Your Channel

Hal was moved to flowery praise by all of our efforts, not so much because of our efforts but because, as a major American critic, he is forced to endure the endless pap from Hollywood. Of course we would be well treated: Colon came out the same year Ridley Scott made a piece of trash about Columbus that had Tom Selleck cast as King Ferdinand! I always laugh at writers who have the next Pulp Fiction, with all its gory action. The critics do not care about slick. They want smart, if for no other reason than to relieve the stultifying idiocy of the majority of what they have to watch. You try to write a review of Jarhead or King Kong. We dare you. Pay yourself $30 an hour to watch and write reviews of the latest crap from Scorsese or Eastwood, and you'll be firing yourself or jumping off a short building not long into your tenure.
