Roger "Crash"es into a debate...

Here is an excellent editorial by Roger about a controversy I didn't even know exist - those arguing that "Crash" is actually the worst movie of the year because...well, read. Then come back.

A few comments:

My limited experience with Scott Foundas knows that he also didn't like "King Kong" or "Harry Potter" or "Jarhead" but gave good reviews to "Transporter 2" and "Just Friends." He's also stuck-up as all hell, and just loves using words like "enervating" when a word like "exhausting" would do just fine.

Dave White's columns on MSNBC are more substantial and entertaining, but his comments on "Crash" (taking the movie to task for discussing racism, which is an issue that, he says, "everyone but Neo-Nazis agrees on already") indicate at least some level of blindness to the issue of race in this country that is a little bit disturbing - more than the movie he purports to debunk with his commentary.

And I've always thought that Jim Emerson was a moron.
