Criticism that's smart, and trying to not be too pretentious.
Shoot the Projectionist is E.D. Hardy, Jr. He roams about the San Francisco Bay Area and writes about what he sees. You can contact him at EdHardyJr@gmail.com.
"Ed Hardy, Jr. writes full-length analysis and really intelligent essays on film (not what you’d normally call “reviews”), but he also has the excellent feature, 24 WORDS PER FILM. In these segments, he puts his entire opinion on a given film into exactly 24 words--kinda like a haiku review." --Janna McGregor, Flixster
"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

I didn't say that that feature of poetry makes it "unusual." Didn't use the word "unusual" or suggest anything like it.
Hi, I'm Janna from Flixster. The quote in the sidebar isn't mine. Could you remove it, please?
Janna, that quote has been on my blog for two and a half years, since this was posted under the name Janna L. on flixster:
http://community.flixster.com/blog/50-thumbs-up-bloggers-and-online-film-critics
Did you not write the blurbs posted under that name, or is that a different Janna, or...? I don't mind removing it, I'm just confused.
My apologies to Michael Robbins for misquoting him: he had been paraphrased by one Susie Allen at

and I unfortunately quoted a paraphrase. (He was responding to a tweet, by the way.)
