There are, however, a few exceptions and this is certainly one of them. Trashwire has always had much love ... http://trashwire.com/2008/12/02/gerard-way-reviews-the-pick-up-artist-2/ The 31st Starz Denver Film Festival is in full swing and, this year, I've had a very inside look at all the behind-the-scenes action. With my new job at the Denver Film Society, I've been able to watch this year's fest grow from a tiny seed into a gigantic tree ... http://trashwire.com/2008/11/17/starz-denver-film-festival-a-cinematic-paradise/ After returning home from seeing Kevin Smith's new film, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, for the second time, I was a bit disappointed to see the relatively low rating for the film on Rotten Tomatoes. A 66% fresh rating? That's only three points higher than Clerks II!

(Watch the "Rosemary's Baby" episode of 30 Rock if you didn't catch that ... http://trashwire.com/2008/10/08/tina-fey-sarah-palin/ Danny McBride is like the bacon on a cheeseburger.

At times ... http://trashwire.com/2008/09/08/the-great-vma-debacle/ The tag line for the star-studded Coen Brothers film Burn After Reading is "intelligence is relative".
