Dan Whitehead Shames Us All

I’ve been posting on the CHUD.com Message Boards since June of 2002.  During my time there, one of the best posters was a man by the name of Dan Whitehead and when it comes to writing about movies, or just writing in general, I aspire to be as good as him.  Now that seems odd when it would seem more reasonable to aspire to be as good a writer as let’s say, Hemingway.  I’m already a better writer than Hemingway.  See, look:

Go die.  In the rain.

There.  I’m better than Hemingway.

But in all seriousness, when you interact with someone who writes so well, it inspires you to better yourself.  I greatly miss Dan’s presence on the boards but he has now resurfaced with a new website that I will include on my list of links.  It’s called “Flicks of Shame” and he examines when good actors end up in terrible films.  If you want to read film criticism that’s highly entertaining and embarrassingly intelligent, it’s a site worth checking out.
