CHILD FOUND IN WELL 
I was depressed to hear about the Village Voice’s firing of critic Nathan Lee. (GreenCine Daily has collected links here.) Lee was one of the best film writers in the country – see, for example, his very New York specific review of Cloverfield – but apparently the Voice thought it didn’t really need him so long as they could recycle reviews from the West Coast’s L.A. Weekly.
In the interest of further such cost-saving and recycling, let me suggest the following newspaper headlines which can be reused on virtually a weekly basis:
WHITE WOMAN DISAPPEARS
GAS PRICES UP
POLITICIAN EMBROILED IN SEX SCANDAL

This is why screen captures are great! Hopefully the term "love pirate" will regain popular usage.
wait, little Timmy fell down the well.
Spitzer should build that girl an opry house!
Does anyone go back and read these old posts? Oh well...
I stopped reading the Voice last fall when they failed to run a Fall Movie Preview. It's mind-boggling how suicidal the new publishers have been, having seemingly set course to eliminate every reason anyone ever had of reading their publication. It's a novel business strategy, but go figure. I sure can't.
