"I have always had a secret crush on Bill, because I read that he gave up teaching to become a movie star. I like anyone who abandons selfless, underpaid work for a life of shallow glamour; my folk hero is a man I once heard about who signed up for the Peace Corps but changed his mind at the airport—I like to think that today he's go-go dancing somewhere."
An incomplete (but growing) collection of the "beloved and irresponsible" film critic's work for Premiere magazine that hasn't already been compiled in book form.
To read the columns from Premiere on this blog, click on any scanned page, then right-click to download it as a JPEG that can be magnified on your desktop so you don't get a headache squinting at all of Libby's great one-liners. (Alternately, you can right-click to open a page in a new tab on your browser and magnify it that way.) I never worked for Premiere, so if you're a copyright owner and would like Libby's columns to be removed from this blog, please contact me at rwcass@gmail.com. They're meant for informational purposes only, I promise. (Well, they're also meant to make you laugh, but you get the idea.)
