Film Critic is Sick of Film and Criticism

It’s shocking to me who’s able to get a job (and more shocking still, keep a job) writing about film (or any of the arts, for that matter) for a newspaper. From time to time, I search the websites of gestalt–weaklies, thinking that I might unearth a few who’d welcome (and pay for) my freelance pieces. In doing this, I’ve come across some of the worst writers I’ve ever read anywhere in any medium on any subject.
