This reviewer takes on not only the critics, but the power players and the lousy films that get made in general.
Warning...strong stuff (nothing purient though). IMHO he puts George Clooney and his ilk in their proper place among other things.

I disagree with this dude on a lot of what he says. I liked the squid and the whale a lot, and I am not part of any elite class. Furthermore, I found the whole Barcelona/Last Days of Disco/Metropolitan group quite a bit on the pretentious side.
