Understandably, then, the critic’s skepticism of an artist's genius has invariably existed alongside the artist's doubt over the critic's judgment.' <a href="http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/books/2012/08/writers_and_readers_on_twitter_and_tumblr_we_need_more_criticism_less_liking_.single.html">Against Enthusiasm</a>: <i>The epidemic of niceness in online book culture.</i> <blockquote>Not to share in the lit world's online slumber party can seem strange and mark a person as unlikable or (a worse offense in this age) unfollowable. This kind of rationalization might mostly take place in our lizard brains, but I'd argue that it's the reason why the literary world—a famously insular community to begin with—has become mired in clubbiness and glad-handing.</blockquote> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/19/magazine/a-critic-makes-the-case-for-critics.html?pagewanted=all">A Critic’s Case for Critics Who Are Actually Critical</a> <blockquote>Most of us, when confronted with painful words, can’t resort to firearms or loogies, as much as we’d enjoy it. Instead we stew. We struggle to be as chipper as the novelist Kingsley Amis, who commented that a bad review could ruin breakfast but should not ruin lunch. It probably helped that Amis drank at lunch.</blockquote> <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/2012/08/a-critics-manifesto.html">A Critic's Manifesto</a> <blockquote>I thought of these writers above all as teachers, and like all good teachers they taught by example; the example that they set, week after week, was to recreate on the page the drama of how they had arrived at their judgments. (The word critic, as I learned much later, comes from the Greek word for “judge.”)</blockquote> John Scalzi on <a href="http://whatever.scalzi.com/2012/08/19/not-reviewing-books/">(Not) Reviewing Books</a><blockquote>As an author and as a long time professional critic/reviewer (movies, music, video games), I am occasionally asked to write reviews of upcoming books for media outlets. Generally speaking I turn down these offers. Here’s why.</blockquote> <a href="http://www.slate.com/articles/life/longform/2012/08/longform_thomas_friedman_jay_mariotti_and_ted_great_stories_about_eviscerated_subjects_.single.html">The Longform Guide to Takedowns</a>, hosted on Slate. tag:metafilter.com,2012:site.120160 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 00:10:59 -0800 author bookreview critic criticism critics jscalzi newyorker nytimes review reviews slate takedown theawrl writing the man of twists and turns Bat Crap. http://www.metafilter.com/118362/Bat%2DCrap <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/cinema/2012/07/30/120730crci_cinema_lane?currentPage=all">Anthony Lane cattily encapsulates Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy in a review for the New Yorker</a> tag:metafilter.com,2012:site.118362 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 09:17:20 -0800 anthonylane Bane Batman Batmanissuperseriousyouguys Catwoman cinema criticism festivalofbitchiness film movie NewYorker Nolan review TDKR TheDarkKnight Wayne The Whelk John Updike's book reviews http://www.metafilter.com/110386/John%2DUpdikes%2Dbook%2Dreviews <em>All told, Updike has <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/remembering-upd">published</a> more than a million words on books. ...

Without coyness, Updike renders a <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/books/98/09/13/specials/salinger-franny01.html">stern judgment</a> based on telling quotation.

It’s a glittering toy of a movie... This one is by a new director, Jean-Jacques Beineix... who understands the pleasures to be had from a picture that doesn’t take itself very seriously.
