Variety vs. The Film Critics

Last night, Variety poo-bah Peter Bart, oh he of the fabled Sunday Morning Smackdown (nee Shootout), took film critics to task for being too cerebral... and too fat:

"they should consider a sabbatical until September, when movies aimed at their quadrant magically reappear. After seeing Ghost Rider and 300 back-to-back, battle fatigue has clearly overwhelmed the entire fraternity. And, by the way, if you've ever met a film critic, you'll know they're not big on either the pectoral, deltoid, or other muscle groups."

Watch out my friend... Harry Knowles resembles those remarks and he knows where you live!
