Nice bit of opportunistic journalism: the reporters are in place, the promotional interviews with movie stars booked – so why don’t we just work up a five minute insert about the primaries? I wish Film 2008 was a bit more magazine-y actually. I think I’d like it better.

In fact, his scathing reviews and dissections of pretty much everything are what makes him such good value, both in print and on TV.

But when he likes something…

This segment from Screenwipe is what made me go out and buy The Wire on DVD (series 1 to 3 are currently available on DVD, 4 is coming very soon and the 5th is being aired in the US right now).
