Slasher pictures are another pleasant diversion for which news hacks bear some responsibility. Even before he discovered the joys of infinite wealth at Disney praising nearly all movies (but especially his employer's) I recall how
the late Gene "He Lived in an $8.25 Million Co-Op" Siskel distinguished between "good" slasher movies and "bad" slasher movies. The bad slasher movies, he opined, were the ones where women got killed. We now know where Roger "All Thumbs" Ebert got his compassion for the underprivileged Mumia Jamal. The more these idiots talked up certain movies once, like
gross-out comedies, the more they're talking them down now -- to cover their odiferous tracks.
