Criticism that's smart, and trying to not be too pretentious.

Shoot the Projectionist is Edward Hardy Junior. He roams Oakland and writes about what he sees.

"24 WORDS PER FILM... is truly brilliant and inspired. I'm so pissed I didn't think of this first. This is why I hate Ed Hardy, Jr."
--Noah Soudrette, That Will Teach Them To Be Bad

"Ed Hardy, Jr. knows how precious time (and words) are to us working-class movie fans... and he also drives to expand the boundaries of his readers' film knowledge..."
--Adam Ross, DVD Panache
