should be the No. 1 place where vigilante justice rules. Ushers, at least, should be allowed to Taser the buffoons who talk during them.
Often these people are responsible for my cranky reviews, which can be found on washingtoncitypaper.com or themoviebabe.com.
The latter is slightly more fun, but of poor quality.
Oh, and I like stuff like Sin City, The Aristocrats, King Kong (third incarnation), Glengarry Glen Ross, Spider-Man(s),The Jerk, Airplane!, 40-Year-Old Virgin, Rock School, X2, and, yes, Superman Returns, if you can get over Kate Bosworth as a Pulitzer winner.
That's about it -- I send assistants out to review the rest.

The Fox Box
Books
Get in the way of my newspapers and magazines. But they're good people.
Heroes
Anyone getting $1/word. Oh, and, um, let's say Gandhi.

I get paid to watch movies and go to shows! Unfortunately there's homework to do afterward...
And if anyone waving big bucks wants me to write for them, let me be clear: There's a thing called loyalty. And it means nothing to me.

Gentle readers in Washington, D.C., and throughout the universe may know me as The Movie Babe! (www.themoviebabe.com)
(Almost no one, however, knows I'm also The Music Babe -- www.themusicbabe.com)
Like many superheroes, The Movie/Music Babe is most active at night, getting entertained for free and writing about how bad it was afterward.
Meanwhile, her pathetic alter ego sleeps and watches The Simpsons a lot.
UPDATE: Sadly, the beloved tavern that I bitched about working at for the past four years has been taken over in a most hostile fashion. The good music, good burgers, and FANTASTIC, diner-cranky waitstaff are now all gone.
Instead there are lava lamps, martinis, hipster wankers, and everything else that had nothing to do with this basement dive in its 71 years of existence...
Hey Movie Babe -- Love your site! Let us know what's good at ye olde movie house right now when you can. How's the new Pacino/De Niro flick? Tried to see it and the movie house film broke. An omen? Music Scribe
