A roundup of what I’ve written at Film.com since the last time I did one of these updates. If you want to keep track of me over there, you can bookmark this page. Or you can just wait until I summarize everything in one of these blog entries.
Five Film-Related Things I’m Thankful For | Just in time for Thanksgiving!
20th Century Fox Hates the Internet | I think they’re assuming this whole “Internet” thing won’t catch on.
Money: Or, Why You Can’t Blame Jason Lee for Making The Chipmunks | You’d do it, too, for that kind of money.

Will Newspaper Film Critics Become Extinct? | Not to toot my own horn, but the Alabama joke is one of my all-time favorites.
Thoughts on a Keira-Free Pirates of the Caribbean 4 | Will people watch another “Pirates” movie without Keira Knightley? Um, yeah.
