We Want Media

I'm not sure if I'll even watch the Oscars this year, especially after last year's Best Picture winner. But I will be keeping up with the AV Club's coverage, because they promise to have both sides of the blogging coin: serious commentary from three of their film critics and snarky put-downs from The Hater.

I usually stay away from The Hater because she has a tendency to engage in what the AV Club's own Nathan Rabin calls Everything Sucksism. That is, she takes on easy targets with stale jokes. But she can also be really funny, and the Oscars should be good fuel for her.
