The current edition of The Weekly Standard includes an amusing review of Basic Instinct 2 in which the improbably named author, Sonny Bunch, packs in as many terms from The Film Snob*s Dictionary as he can, including a nod to I Am Curious (Yellow) by the freshly departed Vilgot Sjoman. This doesn’t mitigate the whole Iraq-war fiasco, Bill Kristol, but give this Bunch kid a raise. April 11, 2006 More Film Snobbery »

Albini, Steve. Self-consciously difficult Chicago-based record producer who chafes at being called a producer, insisting that he merely “records” bands; best known for having produced—er, recorded—Nirvana’s studio swan song, In Utero, and for issuing snarky comments to the press when some of the album’s uncompromisingly raw songs were later remixed by other producers. Albini, who pushes the bounds of hard-rock iconoclasm by wearing glasses and having short hair, enhanced his outsider cred by playing guitar in the not-very-good hardcore bands Big Black, Rapeman, and Shellac. Man, that drum sound is a monster! No one knows mic placement like Albini.
