The Filthy Critic is no more. It says he died on the site, but I dunno. I hope it's just the character they're talking about and not the person responsible. I suppose it doesn't really matter either way. The anger and bitterness he spewed remains, and that's what matters. Anyway, here's a few words from his review of Ghost World which are fitting in more than one way:
Steve Buscemi should spend the rest of his career playing sad sacks. He's so God damn perfect it makes my teeth ache. He's pathetic, but with no interest in sympathy. In fact, he hates himself before anyone else has a chance to. He plays the character perfectly smart and self-aware. It's proof that you can be a genius and a fuck-up and the dichotomy is that one may never win out over the other.
