...The One-Minute Pundit

How do you like that? Everyone and his DOG is writing a think piece about how movies stink! They must REALLY be good! This time it's a couple of scribblers from The Cute Little Pink Paper -- and theirs is WAY better than David Denby's platinum-plated excuse, despite the prefab "snarky" tone. It's so quotable we don't know where to begin -- but at least it doesn't pin the blame on the popcorn restaurants, nor does it quote four movie executives. "[T]hat Big Serious Oscar-Grubbing Dump you took on us all fall and winter" indeed! How about this one?

• We’re not stupid: No one in Hollywood actually loves Jesus. Things have gotten niche-ean now that the FoxFaith brand has launched. (Good job lifting the phrase “faith-based” from the Bush camp, News Corp.!) We suppose the Christians won’t realize it was News Corp.’s Fox Searchlight that released Notes on a Scandal, with Cate Blanchett fornicating with a teen.

No we're not!
