/Film in Print

The Wall Street Journal’s Indian newspaper Mint asked if they could buy/publish my review of The Dark Knight. Which is kinda funny since I didn’t actually write a review, but instead penned a top 10 list chronicling the reasons why I loved the movie. Either way, they wanted to publish the “review” and I wasn’t going to stop them. I never thought I’d run a successful movie blog, never mind be published in any kind of print publication (aside from the possible occasional quote in a movie advertisement). I don’t expect this to happen on a regular basis… What is this world coming to if newspapers are paying bloggers to run their material?)

  • congrats!
  • Money ?!
  • Tyler J.
    Congratulations, man!

    I've been a reader of /film since early '07 and to be perfectly honest, I read you guys first thing in the morning and a few times in the evening.

    As a huge, HUGE, movie fan, I really appreciate what you guys are doing. Easily the best, cleanest, and most down-to-earth movie blog on the web.

    Keep it up guys.
