In August, psychiatrists and Europeans take vacations.
But being neither, August found me getting laid
off—after 12 years!—from my day job gig as one of the editors of a trade
magazine covering the chemical industry.
Twelve years…Scheisse!
So you can expect that last month’s movie viewing here
at LERNER INTERNATIONAL might be a tad… influenced
by this news.
That’s certainly why the majority of the images in
this post will be of things blowing up—
Meanwhile, in August 2012, if a flick couldn’t keep my
interest, I wouldn’t finish watching it: I was ruthless.
And they did have a chance. If your
film can’t grab my interest in the first ten minutes, then get a new job,
loser.
