What a weird thing to write! And he puts it pretty strangely, as if waking up after enjoying a Ron Howard movie is like waking up after having anonymous sex or an alcoholic bender or some other kind of disreputable behavior. But I guess for a with-it, New York, intellectual like Edelstein, liking Ron Howard <I>is</I> pretty disreputable. Its almost like he's afraid that if he doesn't let us know that he feels guilty for calling <I>Cinderella Man</I> "a great movie" then he'll be kicked out of the hip film buff club (or something).<BR/><BR/>But seriously, I only pick on Edelstein because when it comes to writing about what is actually going on, on the screen, he's better than just about any other critic out there. I just find the way his liberal guilt continually manifests itself kind of annoying/interesting.Jon Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01030406521787423155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10506214.post-1118021700484975012005-06-05T21:35:00.000-04:002005-06-05T21:35:00.000-04:00Dizzam! 2 shots at Edels in 1 week!Dizzam! 2 shots at Edels in 1 week!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
