Folks, I think it should be pointed out that the writer of that blog isn't some fly-by-night doofus with a simple opinion and "absolutely no references."
Anne Thompson is deputy editor of Variety.com and writes a weekly Variety industry column. From January 2005 through February, 2007, she was deputy film editor of The Hollywood Reporter, where she wrote the weekly column "Risky Business," which was globally syndicated by Reuters. She has contributed to Premiere, Wired, Filmmaker, New York Magazine, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The London Observer. From 1996 to 2002, she headed Premiere's Los Angeles bureau as West Coast Editor. Before joining Premiere, she tracked behind-the-scenes Hollywood as a senior writer at Entertainment Weekly and as West Coast Editor at Film Comment Magazine. From 1985 to 1993, she wrote the first iteration of "Risky Business" for L.A. Weekly and The Los Angeles Times Syndicate. A graduate of the Department of Cinema Studies at New York University, Thompson teaches Sneak Previews at UCLA Extension.
