Pauline Kael Would Totally Have Focus-Grouped 'Avatar'

Do you like movies? Do you also like watching them? How about if I told you that you could get paid to watch them? Great news for the 55 60! newly-unemployed newspaper film critics of America: If you are a freelance (also known as “not-really-working”) film critic, you can now get a whole hundred dollars per screening (that’s like 1/2 to 1/3rd of what you’ll get paid for a piece at a good website!). As long as you’re willing to fill out the focus group survey after. Go on! Don’t be ashamed. I’d take that $100 and buy a bunch of socks and food with it.
