Since I'm sort of paying attention to the Transformers movie (which I have not yet seen and probably will not pay for in the future), further hilarity can be found at the New Yorker. It doesn't live up to the marvelous deconstruction of Dude, Where's My Car? I read in I think Sight and Sound back in 2003 (which was just beautiful), but then LITTLE DOES. (I'm still trying to find a copy of that issue.) Anyway, this thing is a lovely example of exactly what you'd think; snooty and not-quite comprehending, but gamely trying to diss a crummy director who deserves it, for the wrong reasons.

You're making me really glad that I have never actually watched a Herbie movie. If it's not a Hayley Mills vehicle (Joke Aperture Engaged), fuck Disney in the 60s.

On a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being very low and 10 being very high), please rate the sadness that you would feel if I told you that I want a print of the illustration The New Yorker is using to accompany its review.

It's a nice one, isn't it?
Visit for the fanciness mismatch, stay for the actually good art.

Do they never credit their artists?

At the bottom of the page: "ILLUSTRATION: JOHN RITTER"

They're pretty damn serious about it.
