  1. In the Vanity piece, you focus exclusively on The Last Dragon -a film that owns its own glorious dumbness so thoroughly that it’s impossible not to love- but I’d mention that her performance in Action Jackson -which was less successful at making the dumbness glorious, but not without its moments- was consistently Hi-larious…

  2. I love how you wrote “Jonathan Chait makes an idiotic argument.” Especially since it’s a tautology.
