Gone for the weekend then being sent to Baltimore most of next week for my day job. So I won't be all that regularly posting for a bit. I'll leave everyone with an open thread...here's a question to kick around...
In an age where we can all get a blog for free and say whatever we like about anything we watch... what makes someone a "real critic" as opposed to a fan or observer? Is there a distinction, truly, between the Bloggers and the "Real Media" in terms of validity?

"Real Critics" have editors -- someone to glance over their shoulder and say, "Don't be an ass." Oh, and paychecks -- though bloggers are finding ways to get paid.
Enjoy Baltimore!
